No. You can start whenever you like. Just enter the unique code at the starting point when you’re ready!
As the puzzles are interactive, you’ll need to drag and combine items on your screen, for example. Don’t worry, it’s all explained during the tour. It would be a bonus, though, if at least one team member was comfortable using a phone.
The puzzles are designed for real escapers, so they do require some thinking 😉
But you’ll never get stuck: for every puzzle, you can use a hint or view the answer and simply keep playing.
The tour is most suitable for ages 16 and up. For every riddle, you can use hints and answers, so you can always move on to the next point.
Certainly! If you’re playing with multiple teams, we recommend starting a few minutes apart. You can pay via invoice here.
