If you've ever wanted to try an escape room, but would much rather do so from the comfort (and, let's be honest, free will) of your home, you're in luck. Like the world's most iconic museums and stunning parks, you can now adventure around an escape room with just a laptop and internet connection. Warm up with some coffee and a basic puzzle app on your phone. Then, get ready for some quality fun. The best virtual escape rooms have entered the chat, and they're more than ready to challenge your crew.

Let's talk about how they typically work, so you know what to expect. These virtual escape rooms are similar to what you'd experience IRL. They bring you through a set of puzzles that you have to solve in order to advance, and a storyline that's supposed to be cracked within a certain period of time. Some of them are free and can be accessed at any time, while others require you to pay to participate, and ask that a minimum of three or so players are involved. In addition, some come with a magical theme or a subscription box that'll really upgrade your gameplay.

To start, simply toss on some comfy clothes, gather up your friends, and book one of these nine virtual escape rooms.

Lucky for us, there’s actually a virtual escape room, Bank Heist, that allows you to do just that.

Side note: Why did I make this game?

To add a side note, I would like to explain why I made a virtual escape room playable for free

Since March 2020, we’re in quite an exceptional situation. Large outdoor events are not possible anymore. Consequently, event companies (like most of the Loquizs users) had to reinvent themselves.

And this is the magic of crisis: While many companies are frozen, a few decided to change their whole model. Then this minority ends up taking a major advantage of the situation.

So here is why I made this game:

This free virtual escape room game is the result of my observation from the successful event companies.

Indeed, the virtual team building games are one of the two outstanding niches for the event companies (if you’re curious about the other niche, you can write to me).

The corporation asking for team building are now demanding in virtual/hybrid games (for example, the one using Zoom). Indeed, they are fully compliant with any Covid19 restrictions or any lockdown. Moreover, they bring them an economy of transport. They wouldn’t need to pay for plane tickets when they have local teams in several countries.

To create the game, I started with the initial idea of bringing a virtual escape room, that would require cooperation; anything that a team-building event would enjoy.

Then I added a frightening plot, a wide mechanism using the Creator Pro, and some graphics to raise the immersion. So here is a virtual escape room that you can play for free.

I hope that you will have fun with the dark manor. 😄

If you’ve come that far, I have a small present for you.
