A physical padlock has one combination and takes a minute to reset. An online lock has as many as you want, resets itself, and tells you afterwards how long each group spent staring at it. Put a QR code on the prop, keep the prop, and let the challenge live on the phone.
Red, green, blue, yellow.
Choose a sequence of 4 colors
Wrong answer, try again.
Print a QR code and glue it where a padlock would have gone. The player scans, sees your brief, and works on the answer with the props in front of them. Because the lock is a link, the same prop can hold a different puzzle next week without a trip to the hardware shop.
Chain several locks into one route so that solving one reveals the next clue. Each step carries its own brief, its own hint and its own failure message, and a progress bar tells the group where they are without giving away how much is left in the room itself.
Give each step a hint the group can ask for, and set a countdown when the format calls for it. Competition mode collects names on a leaderboard, which is the part that makes a second group want to beat the first. Statistics show attempts, success rate and which step actually stopped people.
A colour sequence for a shelf of paint pots. Ordered switches for a fuse box. A musical sequence for a piano. A pattern lock for a shape drawn on the wall. A real GPS check for an outdoor leg. The mechanic should look like the room, which is why there are fifteen of them rather than one.
Designed down to the last detail
Nothing on the screen is fixed. Pick a theme, choose a filmed object that fidgets while the lock holds and opens on video, with sound, when the code is right, then a celebration for the moment it opens. Set the typeface and size, and end on your own reveal. Your players see exactly the screen you designed.
Everything you can design on a lock →51 themes, and more in the builder. Each one paints the lock, its keys and its button.
45 filmed objects that fidget while the lock holds and open on video, with sound, when the lock gives way.
37 typefaces and 6 text sizes, from a phone in hand to a screen across the room.
Or your own two pictures
