About The Customer
Free Rooms is an online gaming platform that offers virtual single and multi-player escape rooms. The platform was founded by Corina Perjan, who discovered online escape rooms during the COVID-19 lockdown. The games are designed to be interactive and engaging, requiring logic and a high level of engagement to solve. The platform is perfect for people who are currently at a distance from each other, as the multiplayer escape rooms require two separate devices and offer an in-built video chat feature. The games are supported by most devices, with an optimal experience on laptops. Users do not need to download or install anything to start the interactive game.
The Challenge
Free Rooms, an online gaming platform, was founded by Corina Perjan during the COVID-19 lockdown. The platform offers virtual single and multi-player escape rooms with an immersive experience. The challenge was to create an interactive and engaging gaming platform that could be accessed remotely, without the need for any downloads or installations. The platform needed to support multiple devices, with an optimal experience on laptops. Additionally, the multiplayer escape rooms required an in-built video chat feature to enhance the gaming experience. However, Corina did not have any programming knowledge, which posed a significant challenge in building a fully functional website.
The Solution
Corina chose Bubble, a no-code platform, to build the Free Rooms website. Bubble's point-and-click web editor and cloud hosting platform enabled her to create a fully customizable web application without having to write any code. The platform's functionality was perfect for building an interactive game with unique stories and a minimum of five riddles to solve. The multiplayer escape rooms were designed to be played on two separate devices, with an in-built video chat feature for enhanced interactivity. The games were made compatible with most devices, with an optimal experience on laptops. Corina was able to leverage the Bubble community for creativity and support, pushing the limits of the platform to build an engaging and immersive gaming experience.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
