How does it work?

Our online escape rooms were created to bring teams together!

If you are looking for entertainment:

  • Where everyone will be involved (because our games will provide challenges),

  • Where players will have to share ideas, communicate, and assist each other,

  • Which will offer lots of fun and discussion topics,

You are in the right place!

This game is available for teams from 12 participants and larger: We'll start the event together. Your game master will welcome you, outline the rules and plot on a shared screen, and then we'll divide you into smaller groups (breakout rooms, 5-10 people in each). Each team will receive a link from us (no login required, just click to open), and each breakout room will tackle their part of the investigation. During this phase, we'll have meetings between breakout rooms, called Group Meetings. These meetings will provide a space for you to assist one another and share ideas! When the time is up, your game master will close the breakout rooms, and we'll reconvene as a whole group. At this point, we'll solve your final riddle: each breakout room will share what they've discovered, we'll combine those answers, and hopefully, you'll emerge as the winners! Because in our escape room games, even when divided into smaller teams, you all play TOGETHER as one big team!
