Step-by-Step Guide to Setting up Kiosk Mode with Chrome on an Android Tablet for Your Escape Room with EscapeBot.net
Escape rooms are an exciting and immersive experience for players. However, it can be challenging for escape room owners to ensure that players don’t accidentally or intentionally access anything that could compromise the game’s integrity.
That’s where kiosk mode comes in. Kiosk mode is a feature that allows you to lock a PC, Tablet or Phone into a specific application, preventing users from accessing any other functions or applications. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to set up a kiosk mode with Google Chrome on Android, so that your players can only interact with the chatbot.
Follow this step-by-step guide using the “Fully Kiosk Browser & App Lockdown” app:
- Download and install the “Fully Kiosk Browser & App Lockdown” app from the Google Play Store.
- Launch the app and follow the prompts to grant necessary permissions and set up the kiosk mode. You will need to create a password to access the app settings later.
- Add Chrome as an allowed app in Fully Kiosk Browser. You can do this by tapping on “Allowed Applications” and selecting Chrome from the list of installed apps.
- Customize the kiosk mode settings in Fully Kiosk Browser. You can choose to disable navigation buttons to prevent users from leaving the kiosk mode.
