# Welcome to Escape Director

Escape Director is a web app for escape room operations. Use it to build rooms, run live sessions, and review what happened afterward from one system.

## What Escape Director Does

Escape Director is built for teams that want one operational workflow instead of scattered notes, media folders, and one-off tools.

You can use it to:

* Create and configure rooms
* Add puzzles, clues, and media
* Control the player-facing Live View
* Run sessions from a dedicated dashboard
* Save room statistics, notes, and action logs

## Who It Is For

* **Owners** who want more consistent operations across staff and rooms
* **Game masters** who need fast controls during live play
* **Teams** that use hints, timers, and media during gameplay
* **Operators** who want better post-game review
