Virtual escape room questions
What is a virtual escape room?
A hosted game on your video call where small teams solve linked puzzles to escape a story, like a tropical island or a winter resort. Nothing to install, and no venue to travel to.
Which virtual escape room is best for team building?
For big groups, Beach Vacate-tion; for the holidays, Elf Escape Challenge; for puzzle lovers, The Psychiatrist.
How much does a virtual escape room cost?
The Psychiatrist works out to about $26 a person for a group of 25 ($650 flat for the group). The themed rooms are about $34 or $35 a person ($850 or $875 package for up to 25). You see the full price before you book, and a 50% deposit holds the date.
How many people can play, and how do large groups work?
Bigger groups get more teams, each in its own breakout room, and we may add a tech assistant alongside the host. For company-wide events we run parallel activity tracks.
