In October 2023, I led a team of three to create a fully immersive virtual escape room for CodeCoogs—designed, built, and launched in just four days. With over 70 participants, the experience challenged players to solve complex computational puzzles woven into a gripping narrative. I built the platform using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Node.js, with MongoDB Atlas powering a live leaderboard that fueled real-time competition. Every element, from the storyline to the visuals, was crafted to spark curiosity and test problem-solving under pressure. During the live event, players raced against the clock, fully immersed in a world we brought to life in under a week. It wasn’t just about building a game—it was about designing an experience that brought people together through challenge, creativity, and code.
