At EcoDecor, we know communication systems can make or break an escape room experience. They're not just functional tools - they're opportunities for storytelling and immersion.
Let's explore how to transform ordinary hint systems into extraordinary narrative

devices.
Great communication systems:
1. Maintain immersion without breaking character
2. Make hint delivery part of the experience (please forget about using Walkie-Talkie)
Our Communication Solutions:
1. Magical Creature Communicators
Our popular «Owl Intercom System» (https://www.er-ecodecor.com/product-page/owl-intercom-two-way-communication) (available in one-way and two-way versions) shows how communication can become part of your room's magic.
Imagine:
A wise old owl offering clues in a wizard's library
A mechanical raven delivering messages in a steampunk adventure
A glowing fairy granting hints when "fed" special tokens
Please note, that we can make some custom options: any creature (parrot, raven, dragon, any other animal and creature), voice modulation, interactive elements (lighting and additional motion effects).
Examples of voice modulations you can see on following videos:

2. Various types of phones
Our retro phone collection blends nostalgia with functionality:
- Classic Rotary Phone (disk phone) (https://www.er-ecodecor.com/product-page/old-school-phone-with-intercom-coin) - perfect for detective stories and some «classic» themes
- Coin-operated Payphone (https://www.er-ecodecor.com/product-page/payphone-intercom-coin) - great for urban adventures
- Marine Field Phone (https://www.er-ecodecor.com/product-page/disk-phone-marine-version-intercom) - ideal for military/naval/ bunker themes
For phones we can also add voice modulation effect.
3. Beyond Products: Custom Communication Concepts
For escape rooms needing something truly unique, we design:
- Different objects: Talking mirrors, whispering paintings, or animated statues
- Environmental Systems: Directional audio whispers, puzzle-activated messages
The Power of Voice Modulation
Our optional voice modification can:
- Create ghostly whispers or demonic growls
- Simulate radio static or intercom distortion
- Maintain consistent character voices throughout your game
All our systems can be customized or created from scratch to match your vision. Whether you want to modify our existing products or develop something completely new, we'll help you find the perfect communication solution.
All the best,
EcoDecor team
