Logging inLogin is performed automatically when online; if you are not logged in automatically check your Internet connection and your account to make sure your device has been added to your account. Please note that occasionally during periodic login there is a 10 second delay associated with the license check. Offline UsageAlthough the application tries to log in periodically, you can use the app offline for a period of up to 14 days before being required to login again. To log in again after the 14-day period has passed, either restart the app or press the login button on the login screen, once an Internet connection has been established. There may be a 10 second delay while this process completes. You can skip if you do not wish to use any custom media files such as video, audio or images.To import media for the first time select the configuration tab and enter the password (the default is "admin"). Before you setup operator preferences or configure the room themes its best to first import all of the relevant media that you want to use (pictures, audio and video files). The app integrates with many major file sharing services including iCloud and drop box. Make sure you have installed those file service apps separately before you attempt to access via the ESB app. You will need to have saved all of your media files to the cloud file service before you can transfer them. Proceed to import media such as image files for your company logo and game theme backgrounds. You can also import audio files for the instruction brief, the game brief and the individual clues. Likewise video can be imported for these items as well. If you do not wish to use any custom graphics, audio or video then you can skip the import media step. Select "done" to exit back to main configuration menu The following three items can be modified here
Select "done" to exit back to main configuration menu This is where you setup your venue's individual room game themes. We recommend that you setup all themes on each IPAD device. To add a room select "add room" and give a name to the room theme. For example "Prison Break" if you are entering a game theme of that nature. Then select the room theme and select "edit room" The edit room screen contains all of the adjustable parameters particular to your theme and venue. They are;
Editing Room Theme Clue Set & AnswersWhen in the room edit mode select the "edit clues" option from the bottom menu bar. This is where the individual challenge clues and answers are setup for the particular room theme. Your game theme will have several challenges throughout to complete. The average is around 10 challenges but you can setup as many as you like in the app. The escape room boss app incorporates a QR code reader to scan each game clue if and when the players need one. The QR codes can be generated freely by many websites on the internet. We recommend www.qrstuff.com and select the plain text QR code. From there simply enter your clue text and it will generate a QR code image for download. We recommend you generate a simple format of QR codes for your clues. For example if your venue has a prison break theme your QR codes could be "Prison001" for the first challenge and clue, "Prison002" for the second challenge and clue and so on until all challenges have a QR code and clue. These QR codes should be saved and printed for use with the app. For each challenge you should carefully devise each of the following for every clue.
Setup one clue for each challenge for each room theme and when finished select "done" and then "done" again to exit to the main room configuration menu. If you select the room theme on the left of the screen you can then allocate a theme "background image" to that game theme. The image must have already been downloaded into your media files in Step 3 above. Placement of printed QR codes in your room themeOnce you have configured the clues into the app and printed the QR codes you can proceed to setting them up throughout your room theme. The QR codes scan best in reasonably good light but if the players have a torch it will scan fine. We recommend that you position the first QR code visibly for the player group so that they know where to get their first clue if stuck on the first challenge. Subsequent QR codes for subsequent challenges should be positioned where possible sequentially in such a way that they cannot easily be scanned and used out of order. So for example if the first challenge was to open a blue toolbox the first and only visible clue QR code would direct to them that. The clue QR code for the second challenge would be locked inside the blue box so that it was impossible for them to use the second clue before the first. This is also a good technique to bring some sequencing to your gameplay as research shows that challenges that have no clear sequencing result in lesser player experience and negative feedback. Good sequencing does not necessarily make the game easier for the players. We recommend that the printed QR code be fixed to card or walls to make them more robust. Once all of the Steps above are configured the first time you should not need to edit them again. Now it's time to play! To use the app during a game follow the process below;
The Apple IOS operating system contains an inbuilt feature to manage the screen lock and buttons. The feature is called "guided access" and is setup in the settings menu of the IPAD. This is easy to do and the Apple instructions can be found here. We recommend that you use this feature during a game to lock the IPAD screen to "always on" and lock all buttons including volume. Your staff activate this feature when they hand the IPAD over to the player group and this ensures they cannot inadvertently close the app of access any other features of the IPAD. |
