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.
Operate every active game from one screen with objectives, hints, timers, room state, quick actions, reset validation, cameras, and a complete activity history.
Create games, objectives, automations, scenes, variables, media cues, displays, and staff actions inside ARC instead of stitching together unrelated tools.
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.
ARC's game engine, automation builder, device model, displays, audio, ARC Assist, reset system, and monitoring are designed to work together as one platform. ARC's own Node-RED nodes and other integrations remain available when they are the right tools for a room.
These are real ARC screens for running games, building rooms, connecting hardware, and understanding the entire escape room business.
See every active room, its current state, and the information staff need to run the next game.

Bring over a useful starting point.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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
ARC's game engine runs on a computer at your escape room business, and every core feature is included under one location license.
Read the complete FAQARC provides its own Node-RED nodes for teams that already use Node-RED. Those nodes connect ARC to existing flows, while ARC's game engine, automation builder, devices, displays, audio, hinting, diagnostics, and staff controls run independently.
Yes. ARC's game engine runs on a computer at your escape room business and communicates with your rooms directly over your local network. Internet is used for licensing, updates, and optional online services—not to run your games.
ARC is licensed per location. One location subscription covers unlimited rooms and unlimited devices at that business location.
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.
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 your first 14 days free.
