For curious learners

Sustainable AI Escape Rooms

Three short rooms. Every puzzle is a real statistic, cited. Designed to teach what most AI users have never been shown.

Pick a room. Solve three small puzzles. Leave with one specific habit you will change.

Room 1 · Macro scale

The Server Vault

Trapped in a data center after hours. Three locks teach where AI energy actually goes: chips, compute, and the quiet cost of idle infrastructure.

You will learn: idle infrastructure is 29% of model lifecycle carbon.

Why an escape room

Most AI users have never been shown the real numbers. The lectures slide off, the data is dry, and good intentions stall without specifics. Puzzles stick. You cannot leave the room until the data is in your head, and the takeaway is something you can act on tomorrow.

Every number in every room is cited. Where studies disagree, ranges are shown. Wrong answers explain, they do not punish. Skip buttons exist on every step. Learning is the goal, not scoring.

The whole site uses no servers, no AI calls per play, no analytics, no cookies. Static, under 100 KB per room, free forever.
