IoT Puzzle Table

    This is an interactive prop on display in the lobby of Escape New Haven. Patrons can interact with the table over wifi using their smartphones, and they can complete three mini games hosted on a small web server inside the table. Each mini game causes the table to execute a lighting and sound effect, culminating in the opening of a secret compartment.
