A downloadable game for Windows

A first-person escape room style puzzle game, Escape was created in ~24 hours over the course of a month in 2021.


The puzzles contain a few references to Integrated Application Development (IAD), as the game was originally created for our annual workplace talent contest! In particular, the puzzles are loosely based on the IAD Word of the Year from 2014-2021: Assumptions, Communication, Curiosity, Database, Quality, Security, Resilience and Evidence.

This experience is single-player, but lends itself to being tackled collaboratively. The puzzles are entirely self-contained, requiring no outside knowledge. Googling is allowed, but not required to solve any puzzle. A pen and paper may be handy!

I turned on the UV light on the braille, but I have no clue what the patterns mean...

The report on the table tells us that the door requires a six-digit alphanumeric code. Looking at the keypad, we can see that the code can contain both numbers 0-9 and letters A-C.

You're at the final step - the UV lamp braille pattern is all you need to solve the puzzle. Good luck, and thanks for playing!
