Intuitive user interface
Houdini MC is not another “Timer with clues” software. It is a sophisticated suite that will save your business money and increase the productivity and effectiveness of your game-masters. Timed-Events, the ability to trigger in-room props, and the capability to perform actions when an in-room prop is triggered are only a few of the available features.
Houdini Master Control software supports well-formatted text (HTML), image, audio, and video clues. The user interface requires minimal training and support. Easy to install and easy to use.
Moreover, Houdini MC allows you to remotely monitor and interact with your rooms using any mobile phone or tablet. Remotely start and end the game using any mobile device!! No extra equipment is needed – No programming skills – No extra charge!!!
Centralized Room Editor
“Room Editor” allows game masters and owners to easily organize escape room parameters in a centralized manner. Incorporate in one file the room details (such as available time, number of clues, number of puzzles, and brief description) together with the required sound files. Use one PC to design all the rooms and transmit the files to your game masters.
Moreover, the room editor supports the organization of the clues in different languages.
Additionally, the one-click backup utility simplifies protecting your important work. Save everything in one file: Room Parameters, Theme, Sounds, Scheduled Events, Scoreboard, Automation Settings, and More!!!
Fully Customizable
The in-room screen is fully customizable through the settings menu. Change colors, font family, background images and videos, icons, and the number and the type of the displayed blocks. Always keep in mind that the customization procedure requires minimal training and support. Use your imagination and make your in-room screen part of the atmosphere.
Game Master also has the ability to create a fully customizable leaderboard for each room, accessible from any device connected to the same network. Use this feature to display game statistics in your lobby.
Enhance the atmosphere of your room by visualizing the remaining available time using alternative ways such as percentage representations, analog clocks, and animation effects!

We are a new escape Game in France and we were using PowerPoint until we discovered Houdini MC. Really happy about the product! The fact that we pay once and not per month is cool and the "after-sales" service is just astonishing! I had someone from the Houdini Crew help me out on a PC while I was in a session and it worked out just great! Nothing to say apart from HOUDINI MC IS THE BEST!

The Houdini MC software allows the participants in our escape rooms to have an immersive experience, controlling the game with sounds and hints when needed. When I asked opinions at the end of the game, everybody enjoys a lot. The thematic templates also really help to set the mood inside the room. Really really nice features for all game masters to control the games.

Houdini MC has been working great for us. The customization possibilities are huge, there's a lot of useful options and the user interface is very pleasant. We value a high quality experience for our customers in our escape rooms and in that regard Houdini MC is a real addition to our rooms. After trying it on our second room, we retroactively implemented it in our first and there was no question whether we wanted to use it for our third room: of course! We're also very satisfied with the customer service, we've had contact with the supplier on multiple occasions and each time we've been helped immensely.
