Welcome to /dev/esc

Hello, world.

/dev/esc is an escape room for developers.

Designed for 2-8 players, your team will need to code, puzzle and hack its way out.

  • BYO video (Zoom, Skype, Microsoft Teams, Google, anything)
  • Works IRL as well
  • Use your own computers with your own tooling #vim
  • Solve small challenges, find clues, escape room stuff
  • No cheesy backstory (yet) #roadmap
  • Takes approximately an hour
