More than a control page

ARC gives your team one place to run every game, send hints, control props and room effects, and see what needs attention before the next group arrives. The same system is where you build the automations, objectives, audio, and displays behind each room.

Run games with confidence

Operate every active game from one screen with objectives, hints, timers, room state, quick actions, reset validation, cameras, and a complete activity history.

  • Multi-room live control
  • ARC Assist auto-hinting
  • Game Systems Monitor
  • Room resets and audit logs

Build the whole experience

Create games, objectives, automations, scenes, variables, media cues, displays, and staff actions inside ARC instead of stitching together unrelated tools.

  • Native When / If / Do automations
  • Scenes, variables, and Test Run
  • Audio, video, TTS, and displays
  • Game export and import tools

Connect your hardware

Control off-the-shelf devices and custom props directly. If your team already uses Node-RED, ARC provides its own nodes for connecting existing flows.

  • BLE, Z-Wave, Zigbee, Hue, and Kasa
  • MQTT, Modbus, DMX, and OSC
  • Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi
  • ARC Node-RED nodes
Built as one platform

One complete system, designed for escape rooms.

ARC brings automations, devices, displays, audio, ARC Assist, resets, and monitoring into one system. Use ARC's Node-RED nodes and other integrations when they fit a room.

Switching platforms?

Run ARC next to your current system

Coming from Escape Room Master, Mythric Mystery Master, or another platform? ARC Portal includes migration tools for M3 and Escape Room Master, and much of your existing hardware may already work through ARC's supported connections. Use the free trial to import a starter package, finish the room-specific details, and test alongside your current system.

ARC beyond the main computer

ARC goes beyond the main computer.

The ARC computer runs games and room systems. Purpose-built ARC software carries the right part of ARC to room displays, control-room PCs, Raspberry Pis, and office computers.

Windows display PCs

Keep room displays full screen and running

Install ARC Display Client on a Windows PC connected to a countdown or room screen. It opens the assigned display full screen, starts with Windows, and brings it back if the window closes or the computer restarts.

Raspberry Pi

Turn a Pi into more than a display

Run a Chromium room display, GPIO inputs and outputs, a Shelly BLU gateway, and a room microphone from one Pi connection. Enable only the roles you need.

Control-room PCs

Keep staff focused on ARC

ARC Control Station opens ARC in a dedicated full-screen or windowed workspace. Add owner-approved tabs such as booking or email, and have it start automatically with the control-room PC.

Office and front desk

Keep the rest of the team in the loop

ARC Chat runs from the Windows tray on office, front-desk, or POS computers. Staff can open business chat and receive message notifications without opening ARC.

Each client connects to the ARC Server over your local network. Install only the pieces your business needs.

Before you install

The questions that matter

ARC runs every room from a Windows or macOS computer at your business. Every feature is included in one location license.

Read the complete FAQ
How does ARC work with Node-RED?

No. Node-RED is optional. ARC provides its own nodes for existing Node-RED flows, while ARC handles automations, devices, displays, audio, hints, diagnostics, and staff controls itself.

Does ARC keep running without internet?

Yes. ARC runs on a Windows or macOS computer at your business and talks to each room over the local network. Internet is used for licensing, updates, and optional online services—not to run games.

How many rooms does one license cover?

ARC is licensed per location. One location subscription covers unlimited rooms and unlimited devices at that business location.

Can ARC control the hardware I already own?

ARC supports common escape-room and building protocols including Shelly BLU, Z-Wave, Zigbee, Hue, MQTT, Modbus, DMX, and OSC, plus custom Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi hardware.

Can I move from another escape-room platform?

Yes. ARC Portal includes migration tools for M3 and Escape Room Master that create an ARC starter package from supported exports. They bring over useful starting content—not a perfect clone—so hardware mappings, room-specific logic, styling, and unsupported media still need review. You can migrate and test alongside your current system during the free trial.

What is included in the trial?

The 30-day trial gives you full access to ARC with no feature tiers and no credit card required. Optional services that are still in preview may change as they develop.
