Any room becomes an escape room.
Pan your phone around any room. An AI Warden studies everything it sees, locks you in, and hides the key in seven puzzles that only work in that room.
I · The scan
Ten seconds. The Warden sees everything.
Turn slowly around your room. The Warden makes an inventory of what is really there, the plant, the mug, the third book from the left, and builds the locks from it.
- 01
8 to 10 seconds
One slow turn, and the room is studied.
- 02
Only what is there
An object counts only if the Warden saw it twice. If it ever imagines one, a tap says: “That’s not here.”
- 03
Checked and forgotten
Your camera frames are read by the AI and never stored. You agree to every scan.
II · The Warden
A voice and one slow light. Never a face.
The Warden opens the case and talks about what it saw in your room: dry, polite, a little cruel. It remembers your rooms, and your excuses.
THE WARDEN
- I studied your room. You keep a lot of mugs for one person.
- Nice plant. It’s going to help you. Or not.
- Two hundred and fourteen books. You’ve read eleven. One of them knows the year.
- The door is locked. I hold the only key, and I keep it in a riddle.
- Take your time. I have all night. You have seven locks.
III · Seven locks
Puzzles that only work in your room.
Every escape is built from your scan. Answer by pointing the camera, entering a code, or saying it out loud.
- 01
Counting
“Count the legs in here that never walk.”
- 02
Reading
“The answer is printed on what you drink from.”
- 03
Position and colour
“The third book from the left knows the year.”
- 04
Riddles
“Show me something that holds water but never drinks.”
- 05
Codes
“Your last two answers, in reverse, open the drawer.”
- 06
Sound
“Knock what you counted.”
- 07
The last lock
“Everything you found, in the order you found it.”
Try one
Count the legs in here that never walk.
The Warden has already scanned this room. Read its tags, then turn the dials.

IV · The escape
Get out. Get a case file.
Your time, a rank, the Warden’s verdict, and an AI-painted case file of your room, to keep or to send.
V · Lock a friend in
Your room. Their problem.
Build an escape at home for a friend who comes over, or send a remote one made from your scan. Then share the clips: the Warden roasting your friends’ rooms.

Party mode
Hide the locks in your living room and hand over the phone.
