SUITABLE FOR
-
Where it all began. COGS is highly optimised to create the best escape rooms in the business.
Build & edit your own games yourself without needing a tech background. Or, if your tech person uses COGS, you don’t need to rely on them to make changes.
Create any puzzle you can think of within the app. Make dynamic difficulty levels, different story paths, pulse games - it’s all here.
Your game masters will fall in love with it’s easy to read interface. Guaranteed.
You can even convert a game as COGS can take over all the timer & hint screen functions and integrate with your current electronic props.
-
COGS runs some of the biggest interactive shows out there. It allows you to do things that simply were not possible before without completely bespoke solutions or using esoteric show control systems.
Actions can be triggered by cast, crew or audience behaviour, making each show reactive to each performance.
It can communicate with lighting and sound desks as well as all kinds of other software.
From one person fringe shows to giant productions it’s the same system under the hood.
Clockwork Dog Services can make COGS go even further so you can really let your imagination run wild.
-
Centralise your haunted house tech and bring lighting, effects, sound, video, sensor triggers, motors & servos all under one application.
Your operators can control and see exactly what is happening using our customisable dashboard. No need to rely only on cameras.
And yes, it can work with motion sensors!
Create customisable experiences for different audience members with specific needs (or scare levels!). e.g. no strobe for epileptics.
It’s now possible to make dual use spaces which are horror mazes for October and escape rooms the rest of the year. Just load a different project.
-
Instead of programming custom hardware for each short term event, create a COGS project & pair with our re-usable hardware to perform whatever you need.
Get ideas working quickly and cost effectively. A button that plays a video? Easy peasy. A sensor that sets off a lighting sequence. Please…
Record the number of impressions you get so you can impress your clients.
Easy for brand ambassadors to turn on and run. Any issues? Just remote in.
-
Add an extra dimension to live gaming. LARPING, lifesized board games, treasure hunts & other non traditional formats.
COGS can connect to all sorts of software or be triggered by events from the internet.
