The gap
Escape games need puzzle chains that cannot soft-lock, hints that follow the player's progress and controls that work without a mouse.
Game templates
Lockmantle Game Template
The complete source of Lockmantle, a three-room point-and-click escape game with inventory combining, close-up puzzles and escalating hints; the smoke test proves a bot escapes all three rooms.

What it solves
What it is
This template gives you a step list per room that drives both the hints and a bot that proves every room can be finished, plus a finished, touch-ready game around it.
How you use it
Unzip, serve the folder and open index.html, then edit game.js; npm test plays it again in headless Chrome.
Source code of a real, playable game to reskin and learn from, with a smoke test whose bot plays it.
Who it is for
Use it when
- Building your own escape room or point-and-click puzzle game for itch.io, web portals or your site.
- Learning how a complete point-and-click escape room is built in plain JavaScript and Canvas 2D.
- Building a branded mini-game for a client.
Built for
- Web and indie game developers who know some JavaScript.
- Developers who want a finished, tested game to build on instead of a blank canvas.
What you get
Rooms
Add a room by writing its hotspots, views and steps; the router, inventory and hint system pick it up without changes.
Hints
The hint button finds the first unsolved step whose requirements are met, so hints always match what the player can do next.
No build step
Plain JavaScript and Canvas 2D; open index.html through any static server and edit game.js.
A smoke test
A headless Chrome test loads the game, checks the console, presses keys and taps, and lets the built-in bot play a run to its result screen.
