Virtual Escape Rooms

FAQs

WHAT IS A VIRTUAL ESCAPE ROOM?

A virtual escape room is an online version of a physical escape room where participants are locked inside a room or series of rooms they are trying to escape. Participants solve a series of puzzles/challenges using clues to unlock different locks in order to either progress to the next stage or gain a part of a larger clue.

In a virtual escape room the entire experience is online. All of the puzzles and clues are embedded or linked inside of the virtual escape room and password protected pages serve as the locks. Participants can work together in groups on one device, they can work together on their own devices or they can work independently.

WHY DO YOUR ESCAPE ROOMS HAVE SUCH A WIDE AGE RANGE?

Kids as young as 8-10 can complete most of our escape rooms independently or in small groups. However, adults and older kids enjoy escape rooms just as much as the younger crowd does! You can provide your participants with as many hints and resources as they need while still providing a fun and challenging experience.

WHAT IF MY PARTICIPANTS HAVE NEVER DONE A VIRTUAL ESCAPE ROOM BEFORE?

You don’t need to have any experience with virtual escape rooms in order to be successful! However, if you want to prepare your participants you can complete this FREE Mission School Blackout Jr. escape room together in order to see how it works.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO FINISH?

The amount of time it will take depends a lot on how familiar your participants are with the content and virtual escape rooms in general but the recommended time frame is 40-60 minutes.

WHAT IF MY PARTICIPANTS GET STUCK?

The answer key will help you provide some hints for your struggling participants. However, productive struggle is a good thing! It is supposed to be challenging so be sure to encourage participants to try the tips you gave them in the introduction before giving hints.

HOW WILL I KNOW THAT MY PARTICIPANTS HAVE ESCAPED?

Each virtual escape room has a digital badge that will appear once the escape room has been completed. Participants can download their badge or simply show you that they have escaped.

There are printable signs that you can use to take photos of participants after they escaped.
