What this video covers
This FrightProps overview demonstrates how to set up and program the Gantom Torch: Escape, a handheld LED device designed for escape room use. Small emitters placed around the room secretly allow operators to control the torch's color, intensity, and vibration in players' hands via the Color Piano software interface. A key feature is UV light output, which can be triggered at specific times or locations to reveal hidden clues. The system creates a compelling illusion of player agency while keeping full control with the operator.
