The objective of this Final Year Project (FYP) is to design and develop an escape game where players need to figure out the dependencies and complete the games in the correct sequences to escape the virtual room. The virtual game is designed to simulate the physical room in the Active Living for the Elderly (LILY) Laboratory in School of Computer Science and Engineering in Nanyang Technological University. The Virtual Escape Room Game implemented in this project could be played as an independently complete game, or as a part of the escape room game in the laboratory. The target players of the game include visiting scholars, professors and students to SCSE NTU, as well as elderly of the local community. As the mission of LILY where the game will be played, the design of computing technologies focuses on helping the elderly enjoy an active and independent lifestyle.

The game “Virtual Escape Room” is created using Unity 3D, a cross-platform game engine. The purpose of this report is to showcase the design and implementation the Virtual Escape Room game, as well as the author’s experience and learning outcome throughout the entire journey in doing the Final Year Project (FYP) in Nanyang Technological University School of Computer Science and Engineering.
