This theses covers the planning and implementation of an augmented reality escape room. Because of the Covid-19 crisis, community centres, stores, cafes and other common spaces are closed, forcing many to find entertainment at home. The goal of this thesis is to develop a fully functional AR escape room that the user can transport in their pocket, on their mobile device, published on one of the biggest social platforms with AR functionalities - Snapchat. The users will thus be able to transform their living room into a fully interactive AR escape room, filled with mystery and 3D puzzles, from the comfort of their own home. To develop the experience we'll use Lens Studio, a free program used for developing and publishing AR experiences on Snapchat, made by Snap Inc. The assets will be created in the free, open-source, 3D modelling software Blender. The theses will therefore offer an insight into the creative and technical process of development, as well as a brief overview and history of augmented reality.
