Owner

How it fits. BakedWorld has rooms, doors and floor plans; a puzzle room is an authored set of props, clues and state on top of one of them. The server owns the puzzle state and the clock, like an event; the client draws the clues and handles interaction. No physics engine is needed for locks, levers and keypads.

Scope.

One authored room with a chain of clues and a final lock.
A team of players, a countdown and a fail and retry flow.
Interaction-based mechanisms: levers, keys, codes, hidden notes.
A hint system that costs time.
A leaderboard of fastest teams.

The campus has basements, corridors and rooms that nobody visits. An escape room turns one into a social puzzle: a team locks itself in, finds clues, and solves a chain of mechanisms before the clock runs out. It is the one feature that gives the interiors a reason to be explored as a group. **How it fits.** `BakedWorld` has rooms, doors and floor plans; a puzzle room is an authored set of props, clues and state on top of one of them.
