Escape room operators deliver hints via intercom manually, missing teams that need help and disrupting immersion.

The Solution

SheetAPI converts your hint system into an API. Teams request hints via in-room buttons, game masters deliver via tablet, and completion is tracked.

1

Set Up Your Google Sheet

Create a spreadsheet with columns like: Session ID, Team Name, Room, Start Time, Hints Used, Completed, Finish Time

2

Connect to SheetAPI.pro

Sign up (takes 10 seconds), authorize Google, and paste your sheet URL. Done.

3

Start Using Your API

Get instant REST API endpoints to create, read, update, and delete your escape room live hint delivery system data.
