DETAILS

Pull-to-unlock sensor can be used for puling chains, ropes or any other types of string connected to it. After players pull it with moderate strength, the sensor is triggered. What’s more, it is quite sturdy, being able to hold heavy weight. We tested it for over 100 kg (220 lbs).

The sensor can be used in a variety of different puzzles. One idea includes multiple ropes (each connected to a separate Pull-to-unlock) hanging from the ceiling. Make players pull the ropes in a specific sequence they have to find beforehand to open a door.

Another, more original idea requires a prop of a horse players can sit on. Connect the sensors to the horse’s stirrups and place them on both sides of the horse. After a player puts his or her feet in the stirrups and pushes on them, western-themed music starts playing and the puzzle begins.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do sensors work?

Sensors detect what players do. When a player performs a specific action, the sensor identifies that action and becomes triggered. When all the sensors connected to a puzzle controller are triggered correctly (in a specific way and/or order), the puzzle is solved and the output sets activate.

How many sensors can one puzzle have?

Our hardware lets you attach up to 14 sensors to one puzzle controller (one puzzle). You can use many sensors of the same kind, or make each of them of a different kind – it all depends on your puzzle idea.

I don't know which sensors I need for my puzzle idea.

No problem. Contact our customer support, describe your idea, and we will help you pick the right products.

What is the length of the cable that connects a sensor to a puzzle controller?

Each sensor is connected to the Universal puzzle controller via an Ethernet cable. We provide 1 m (3.28 ft) cable but you can easily get longer ones 🙂

Can your sensors be wireless?

From our experience, the wireless technology is not reliable enough to be used in Escape Room puzzles. With cables, you can be sure that triggering a sensor will be detected by the puzzle controller and won't ruin the experience.

I noticed that most of the sensors do not have a cord to be plugged into an outlet. Do they not require power?

Most of our sensors don’t require power unless you want an additional power supply for high current – it is needed in extensions. Ethernet cable is included with every sensor – it has to be connected to the Universal puzzle controller to work. Then, connect the Universal to a power supply.
