What are Escape Games?

Ever heard of Escape Rooms? They're places where you're locked in for an hour or more, and you have to solve a series of puzzles to get out.

Escape games are the online equivalent of escape rooms. You evolve in a particular universe:

  • the Middle Ages
  • prehistory
  • the future
  • a parallel world
  • a legendary kingdom (like Lord of the Rings)
  • And so on. Your imagination is the limit 😉

You can use AI to create illustrations like these for your escape game

The game tells you a story, with characters. Often, they are in difficulty and we offer to help them.

To help them, you have to pass a number of tests:

  • decrypt a secret message
  • breaking a numeric code
  • complete a crossword
  • solve a problem
  • carry out a number of online searches
  • defeat an enemy or shoot down an alien ship
  • etc.
