Once you have determined a date, a time, and the number of players: book your virtual escape room on our website. It's possible to add extra players after your booking and readjust your date and time if needed.
With the triple assistance of our intro video, game instructions, and built-in hint system, the escape games can be played without a host to guide you. However, if you would like to hire a live host for your event, please contact us (we have a partial host and full event host option).
You will receive an email with instructions and 2 personalized links: a captain link and a participant link.
You can send these links to your players before the event if youβd like to build the hype - they will be able to read the scenario and instructions but wonβt be able to start the game until your chosen escape time.
Round up your players and make sure everyone has their official virtual escape links.
Split your players into teams, and nominate a team captain per group. Your team captain(s) will use the captain link and share their screen with their teammates. This link displays the current elapsed escape time and has extra hints available in case the team gets stuck.
Teammates can use the participant link to help solve puzzles. The participant link can be opened in a browser alongside the video conferencing call, or on another device like a phone.
Teams come together into breakout rooms; the captain clicks the "start" button to begin the escape!
The game is played directly in your Web Browser, there is nothing to download.
Participants embark on an adventure much like our in-person escape rooms. Guided by the story line, players interact with visual elements of the web pages and try to solve puzzles one step at a time until they reach the final goal.
Each puzzle is locked with a password β a combination that could include numbers, letters, directions, or symbols.
After the final password is entered correctly, the timer stops and the escape is complete!
If you are playing with multiple teams, find out each team's final escape time. Players enjoy discussing which puzzles they solved quickly, and which ones were more challenging.
Plan 10-15 minutes to get everyone back in the main meeting room, announce the winners and wrap-up the event. Escape rooms are solved faster when played as a team, emphasizing the value of teamwork.
Here are some reviews our customers left us on Google and Facebook:
Choose your preferred video conferencing platform and follow our instructions. The game is played in the browser, with the team captain sharing their screen. Other teammates can explore clues on their own through our provided participant link.
No, our virtual escape rooms do not require a live host, but we do offer live hosting as an add-on service. We provide instructions on how to play on your own. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions on how it works. You can also contact us if you are interested in hiring a live host for your event - this is not necessary, but it's something that can add value to your event, especially if you have a large number of participants.

The game is all within your browser - there is no software to download. Note that you will never be asked to browse any other websites or social media pages to solve our puzzles (i.e. Facebook, Instagram, etc).
We recommend the Google Chrome browser to maximize the performance of your escape game. If you don't have Google Chrome, our platform has been tested on other major and newer browsers (Microsoft Edge, Safari, Mozilla Firefox) and these also allow playing this virtual escape. Still unsure? Feel free to test our demo links with your current browser.
Our game runs in your browser. Any video conferencing platform that allows screen sharing is supported: Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, WebEx, etc.
Our game system will not cut you off if you go over the target escape time. However, some event organizers may choose to set a maximum time for their event, and have all groups reconvene in the main meeting when that time expires. If you want to make sure that all players succeed within that time frame, you can encourage the use of hints (at the bottom of each page).
After your purchase, you will receive an email with two personalized access links for your virtual escape: a captain link and a participant link. Each team captain will open the captain link web page, share their screen, and click the "Start escape" button. The captain link includes the game clock and the hint system. The team captain can request hints if the players are stuck on a puzzle.
All other players can open their participant link web page to follow along. Participants are able to explore content and try out passwords, but do not have an in-game timer and can only request extra hints through their team captain.
The cost is $14.99 CAD per player for up to 20 players. For larger group sizes, please contact us for more options on pricing.
