Escape room template
One room, three clues, one lock, and you have to walk to all of it. The Room (Fireproof Games, 2012) is the box you turn in your hands. Escape Simulator (Pine Studio, 2021) is the room you can reset. A code printed in a popup skipped the search. The AI puzzle maker is the family. The AI logic puzzle maker is the deduction if the clue is a grid rather than an object.

What makes an escape room
Escape room: you search a locked room for clues to get out.
The games that set the standard are The Room (Fireproof Games, 2012), We Were Here (Total Mayhem Games, 2017) and Escape Simulator (Pine Studio, 2021).
What the template starts with
The escape room template starts with one room, three clues and one lock. That is the smallest version of the loop that defines the genre: search, find a clue, open the next lock.
What to change first
Hide each clue in a place you can look, not in a paragraph. Open the lock only when all three have been touched. A hint button that reads the code aloud ends the template.
2D or 3D
The escape room template starts in 3D.
