The latest version of Escape Rooms – through a brand new online streaming service – gives you the opportunity to enjoy the live escape room experience without leaving home. The Live Video Escape Room brings you the ultimate experience of escaping without boundaries! Join in, test yourself from home and play some highly engaging games! Only your game master will be in the playing area, who will be your eyes and ears during your mission. Just like an online chat room, you can join your friends for the exit game you have booked, where you will see and hear each other, but mainly the room, via GoPro cams we attached to our game masters. Give them instructions and guide them towards the right solutions.

Stuck at home? Want something cool and different to do with your friends? Why not try playing an Escape Room? Yes, an Escape Room without leaving your house! More and more Escape Room creators are adapting their rooms or creating entirely new experiences to be played online via a live video link.

Live Video Escape Rooms are a new way to play Escape Rooms with your friends from the comfort and safety of your own home, or an outdoor escape room, like the outdoor escape room played in the streets of Split. Guide a host via live video to explore, solve puzzles and uncover mysteries. Gather a team as your friends join via video link from their homes.

There are various types of live video escape room and the genre is constantly evolving as it grows. Some are an extension of the traditional escape room with a host and a handheld camera acting as your avatar, moving through the room on your behalf, following your instructions in order to solve puzzles. Others are similar to role playing experiences and your host guides you through a story (often with visual aids) in order to solve puzzles. Puzzle boxes are a blend of these two approaches: you guide your host through opening and exploring a box full of puzzles, usually with a story or mystery that connects the puzzles..

How does it work?

For all game types you’ll usually book the game in advance and be sent an invite link—use this to join the video chat. Check the email you were sent for advice but it’s often recommended to join the video stream 10-15 minutes before the scheduled time. You may even want to click the link as soon as you get it to check if you need to download any software to view it. The most common software used for video streaming is Zoom but some will use Google Hangouts, WhatsApp Video or even Facebook Video. Most are best used from a computer or laptop but will work from a phone if you don’t have anything else.
