Abstract
This study explores an authoring system for game logic and locomotion for virtual-reality escape rooms (VRER). This paper presents a preliminary interface that allows novice game developers to create virtual rooms connected through teleporters and a lock-and-key system that allows for linking these rooms together, providing users the ability to prototype their own VRER games.
