"Hurry with that code, they're on the move!"

"I'm working on it! Where are they headed?"

"The stairs… no… maintenance."

"Room Service" is a physically immersive, multi-player, horror escape room created by Pop Up Playground in Melbourne, Australia, and constructed using arduino-compatible processors, C++, and open source software and hardware designs.

We'll examine how to build a physically immersive game, hardware used, embedded testing frameworks, the platformio software development environment, player creations, software challenges, and improvements over time.
