As always registration beforehand is mandatory, please do so by sending an email to guesthackerprogram@kpn.com. Please also bring your ID or drivers license!

At this moment there are 550+ escape rooms in The Netherlands alone. However, not all rooms are equal, and there is a vast difference in escape room experiences and quality. This talk, presented by an experienced escape room designer, will go in to all the facets of designing and building an escape room. It will show how to create the best experience for the players, the pitfalls and how to design the puzzles and puzzle flows. It will further give an insight in to the technique used behind the sound, lightning and puzzle interactions.
