Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll use Python to build a simple text-based escape room game to help enhance the experience of a real-world escape game. This project involves following all the steps in a software development process, from reviewing your client’s given requirements, to designing, building, and testing your code. You’ll gain experience operating within a set of requirements and refactoring your code to optimize class definitions, tighten up functions, and make sure it’s Pythonic!

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
