PROJECT BRIEF: AI-Powered Escape Room Game in Unreal Engine 5

Hi,

I’m looking to build a realistic, immersive escape room mobile game using Unreal Engine 5. The game should feature pre-made themed rooms and an AI-powered room creator for premium users.

⸻

GOAL:

A first-person or third-person escape room game for mobile where users can:
• Explore immersive, realistic escape rooms with unique puzzles and environments
• Either play alone or with friends via room codes
• Unlock pre-made rooms or generate new ones using AI (for VIP or token users)

⸻

Core Features:
1. Pre-Made Themed Rooms
• Multiple handcrafted rooms, each with a unique theme (e.g. haunted house, prison break, lab escape)
• Each room contains puzzles, interactive elements, and atmospheric effects
• Rooms are unlocked through progression or tokens
2. AI-Powered Escape Room Generator (VIP Feature)
• Players can enter a prompt like “abandoned alien ship” or “haunted museum”
• AI (e.g., ChatGPT or DeepSeek) generates a custom escape room layout, narrative, and puzzles
• Player then enters this AI-generated room solo or with friends
3. Escape Room Gameplay Mechanics
• Time-limited game rounds
• Interactive items (keys, drawers, safes, notes)
• Puzzle solving: object combination, number pads, hidden clues
• Inventory system for items
4. Multiplayer
• Create or join a room with a code
• Everyone in the session shares progress, sees the same clues
• Optional voice chat or ping interaction
5. Progression System
• Free users can access a limited set of rooms
• VIP users or token buyers can access the AI room builder
• In-app purchases: extra rooms, themes, customizations
6. Mobile Optimization
• iOS and Android support
• Smooth performance on mid-range phones

⸻

Tech Requirements:
• Built in Unreal Engine 5
• AI Integration using ChatGPT, OpenAI, or DeepSeek API
• Optional: Voice generation with ElevenLabs API
• Multiplayer system (peer-to-peer or server-hosted)
• Backend for player accounts, tokens/VIP tracking (Firebase or similar)
• In-app purchase integration for tokens or VIP access

⸻

Budget:

Please quote in two phases:
• Phase 1: Core Game with Pre-made Rooms
• 2–3 themed escape rooms
• Single-player and multiplayer options
• Basic UI, token system, and AI hint system (optional)
• Phase 2: AI-Powered Room Generator
• Prompt-based AI room creation
• Player can enter a phrase like “abandoned spaceship”
• Game generates story, environment setup, puzzles, and game flow using AI

If you’re open to working long-term, I’d prefer to build this in stages, starting with the MVP (minimum viable product) and adding features later.

⸻

Deliverables:
• Full Unreal Engine 5 project files
• Android & iOS builds ready to test
• Documentation for how to manage/update rooms and AI integrations

⸻

Please reply with:
• Your Unreal Engine experience
• Any projects you’ve built similar to this (puzzle, horror, multiplayer, or AI-based games)
• If you’re comfortable integrating AI tools like ChatGPT
• Estimated timeline and pricing for each phase

Thanks!
