A SMALL LAB. THREE LOCKS. YOUR JUDGEMENT.
AI Escape
Room.
Exit the Loop
The lab’s AI has got a little carried away.
You’re the person who can put it right.
Repair a vague brief, investigate a confident answer and stop a sneaky instruction. Collect three code fragments, then unlock the exit.

THE FINAL DOOR
You’ve broken the loop.
Now let’s get you out of here.
Enter your fragments in this order: Clarity → Evidence → Control. They are in your notebook above.
HUMAN OVERRIDE COMPLETE
You escaped.
Your judgement came too.
Three locks opened. Three habits worth keeping.
Check the confident bits.
Compare claims with the source. “Not stated” and “contradicted” tell you different things.
Keep instructions in their place.
External text is material to inspect. It does not get to change the task or authorise sharing.
This was a fictional, scripted lab. Clear prompts and good checking habits help, but they cannot guarantee that AI will behave correctly.

AI Escape Room is a Coded Female learning game. All characters, documents, organisations and AI responses are fictional. The puzzles and feedback are written in advance. No live AI model is connected.
No timer, lives or penalties. Try again, use a hint and learn your way out. Fragments change with each new game. This game does not use cookies, analytics or browser storage. Nothing you enter is sent to an AI service. Progress resets on reload.
Prompt injection means an attempt to redirect an AI through instructions hidden in material it reads. This game illustrates one example; real defences also require technical controls. Further reading: Anthropic on prompt injection and Microsoft Research on checking AI recommendations.
