Procedural Creation and Implementation of an Immersive Escape Room
Master's degree thesis
An Immersive Educational Escape Room (IEER) is a pedagogical tool for teachers to use
with their students in immersive teaching-learning processes, since it is adaptable to any type of
theme, difficulty, objective, among many other parameterizable factors. Escape Rooms are
usually composed of a single or multi-level lineup, where its users are subjected to various
challenges. These challenges create links with each other in order to direct participants to a final
challenge that leads them to the completion of the game activity
In my thesis, I developed a procedural tool using the software Houdini that can generate divisions based on a set of parameters. These parameters alter the overall look of the division as well as the placement of its assets.
