Abstract

This article delves into the development of ERPL, a Domain-Specific Language tailored for virtual escape rooms. It explores the mechanics, technology, and architecture used in creating immersive and engaging virtual escape room experiences. Case studies demonstrate the practical application of ERPL in designing virtual escape rooms, showcasing its flexibility and effectiveness in meeting the demands of escape room creators. In conclusion, we summarize the results obtained and discuss potential future directions for the development of ERPL.
