Escape the Zoom

Dear Detectives, It seems that there's an evil man named Zoom, who has been kidnapping people and locking them into rooms. Our agency has even identified some hostages!

You must work with your team to:

• Track down clues
• Decode messages and solve puzzles
• Figure out how to help the client

Escape the Zoom…. We've set up a secured video-chat link for you to meet the hostage and to gather information. Teamwork, communication and creative problem solving are required. Find clues in your host’s environment that lead to online puzzles. For larger groups, players are split into teams of 5-10 players (with one actor/facilitator per team) to compete for the best times. Teams will still start and end the experience together with one of our hosts on-boarding and off-boarding the experience for them.

What to Expect:

Escape the Zoom is an actor-driven virtual escape room designed for corporate team building and team bonding

Your group will have to:

• Solve puzzles and clues
• Interact with live actors
• Sleuth around online
• Think critically
• Communicate and collaborate
• Practice divergent thinking
• Build consensus 

Options to Customize:

We have a few options that would allow us to customize the game for your team and make your experience uniquely funny. Any of the options below are available to customize after your event date and time are confirmed. We have a puzzle that uses ID cards. If you can send me a photo of your company’s ID card or a jpeg of your logo we can have this puzzle show your company logo. We have a bonus puzzle that we can customize based on your team members and distinctive things about them.

For instance, if someone is known to love basketball, driving fancy cars, raising heirloom tomatoes, etc. Can you think of four or five people on your team and any distinctive interests/hobbies that they enjoy? We have a puzzle with some Google Streetview photos and can customize this so it has photos of the area near your company’s HQ or somewhere where your team has had a retreat. Can you send me the address of a location that most of your team members would know? What are some key phrases that your team uses frequently? It could be your company’s values or just something specific to your team. We can try to incorporate those into the game or have the facilitators work them into the facilitated discussion.
