Universal puzzle controller is a high-quality electronic device designed for Escape Rooms. Its 5 different modes and a huge variety of sensors that are available on our site allow you to create any puzzle you can imagine. Depending on puzzle complexity, you can choose from different amounts of input jack sockets (1, 2, 6, 12). Unleash your imagination - with the Universal puzzle controller everything is possible.

After you set the Universal puzzle controller, it will remember the puzzle even after a reboot. Don't worry 🙂

We provide everything you need to use the Universal puzzle controller

• power supply,
• US/UK adapter chosen for your country standard,
• screwdriver to easily modify the wiring,
• Universal puzzle controller manual with comprehensive guides,
• a USB stick with ready-to-use preset MP3 files.

Sound-based puzzles, special sound effects after interacting with props or terrifying noise to scare players in your horror-themed Escape Room – the Universal puzzle controller with soundcard makes any of those possible. There is also an option to control the length of the output effect by modifying the "winning sound" mp3 file. Designing puzzles has never been easier!

Light sensors are hidden under crystals in the skull's eye sockets. They are connected to our Multi-Color sensor extensions which change color every time the Light sensor is triggered, that is, when the laser is pointed at the right spot. When the colors are set right, a secret message in the bottle is given to players.

In Magical Songs puzzle idea, there are 5 different LED Button sensors that has to be pressed in the right sequence. One of the outcomes is turning on LED lights, and another activates the pump.

Indiana Jones is scared of snakes – are you? Feel like an adventurer and discover the secret of Serpent's Path to find the legendary treasure of Viper King!

Place wooden tokens with animals (and RFID stickers underneath) in the correct spots. To do so, you'll need to place your hand under the spots (Hands and body sensor) and listen to the corresponding sounds. Then, match the animals to the sounds and the puzzle is solved.

The output cable is permanently attached to every puzzle controller and it has the green screw terminal at the end. If you buy our output set, all you need to do is to connect them together through those terminals.

However, if you are more advanced, we provide a separate green screw terminal so you can make your own output set (e.g. with an electromagnet). To do this, you have to connect your output set's wires into the right color-coded places:

• brown – NC (normally closed),
• green – COM (common),
• white – NO (normally open).

Game Mode 1 – STATE

In the STATE Game Mode, you need to trigger all the sensors at the same time to activate the output set.

Setting up the STATE Game Mode:

1. Trigger the sensors which solve the puzzle.
2. Hold the teaching button until the status diode blinks 1 time.
3. Release the teaching button.
4. Every time the selected sensors remain triggered at the same time, the output set will be activated.

Example:
Put 4 RFID tags on the RFID sensors to turn on the UV Lights output set. It will be turned off if at least one sensor is deactivated.

Game Mode 2 – SEQUENCE

In the SEQUENCE Game Mode, you need to trigger sensors in the right order to activate the output set.

Setting up the SEQUENCE Game Mode:

1. Press and hold the teaching button until the status diode blinks 2 times.
2. Release the teaching button.
3. Trigger sensors in the correct order (you can use each sensor more than once).
4. Press the teaching button.
5. Every time you repeat the sequence, you will activate the output set. The output set will remain activated until you reset the Universal, or until the sequence is broken.

Example:
Press 6 buttons in the correct order to release the electromagnet.

Pro Tip: With sequences where the same sensors have to be triggered multiple times, it's better to NOT program the first step in the sequence. That way, if players make a mistake and start from the beginning, triggering the first step will reset the previous attempt and then the rest will solve the puzzle.

The Universal puzzle controller with sound is an upgraded version of the basic Universal, which allows you to play MP3 files. Every plugged sensor can play different sound and after solving a puzzle, the device can play the winning sound.

Replace MP3 files on the USB flash drive with your own correctly named MP3 files (see picture below). Files 0001.mp3-0012.mp3 are responsible for sensors and files 9997.mp3-9999.mp3 are responsible for the winning sounds:

• 9997.mp3 – before activating the output set,
• 9998.mp3 – when the output set is activated (the duration of the activation is set by the duration of this MP3 file),
• 9999.mp3 – after activating the output set.

You can use free software like Audacity to cut or extend your MP3 files. You don't have to use all the MP3 files – just delete the ones you don't need.
