IEEE Fest: Escape Room

The event started around 4:30 PM, featuring the Escape Room 
Challenge – “Escape from Laboratory,” with a high level of 
enthusiasm.
 It was a team-based event where participants solve puzzles, 
decipher codes, and find hidden clues within 8 minutes to 
“escape” from a simulated laboratory environment.
 Miss Vaishnavi and Miss Siddhi hosted the event, giving 
information about the IEEE-VIT conducted event The Escape 
Room Challenge and game rules.
 Each team entered the simulated laboratory, filled with hidden 
clues, codes, and puzzles that needed to be solved in sequence to 
escape.
 The goal was to test critical thinking, problem-solving, and 
teamwork, with participants needing to collaborate efficiently 
under time pressure.
 As the game began, teams were briefed on the rules and 
objective: deciphering a series of codes and solving complex 
puzzles to “unlock” the room and escape within the set time limit.
 Each puzzle required logical thinking and keen observation to 
find clues hidden in the props and DIY items, such as cardboard 
cutouts, code sheets, and intricate lock mechanisms.
 Volunteers monitored the teams’ progress, assisting only when 
necessary to avoid giving away answers but ensuring the game 
moved smoothly.
 The team that completed the puzzle series in the shortest time 
was declared the winner.
 After each round, the escape room was reset for the next team to 
attempt the challenge, ensuring fairness and consistency for all 
participants.
 The event concluded with a prize distribution ceremony for the 
winning teams, followed by a group photo with participants, 
volunteers, and organizers.
 The organizing team shared heartfelt thanks to all participants for 
their active involvement and enthusiasm throughout the event. 
Special appreciation was extended to the volunteers for their 
dedication and seamless coordination, ensuring the event ran 
smoothly.
