What events are unfolding in this city? What measures can be implemented? The city calls for only the most adept detectives to unravel and solve, by any means required, the final case of the esteemed detective.

Video above is property of Maximum Escape Barcelona 🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE We love the unique twist the creator brought to this escape game. The set design was very immersive, beginning with the dark alleyways of London and gradually transforming into a chilling scene, which I'll leave for you to discover. We thoroughly enjoyed engaging with props that closely resembled real-life situations, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience. The jump scares were expertly executed, enhancing the experience for players. They were spaced out perfectly, allowing us to absorb the story while still feeling the intensity. The live actor brilliantly enhanced the storyline, adding an element of suspense as we never knew when we'd encounter him, heightening our anxiety and anticipation. The game provided a clear introduction to the storyline, outlining our objectives, and concluded with a satisfying sense of accomplishment. 🧩 MISSED THE MARK We focused on a clue for awhile that we were able to interact with, unaware that it wasn't yet time to activate it. We often hoped for more puzzles, as the game had plenty of room for additional interactions. 🏹 TAKE A SHOT? Typically, Sherlock Holmes is portrayed confronting Moriarty as his arch-nemesis, so it is refreshing to experience a different perspective in this game. As American players, we are accustomed to games loaded with puzzles. However, this game offers a more immersive experience that emphasizes storyline and character interaction over complex puzzles. We genuinely appreciated the originality and innovation demonstrated by the game's creators. If you are a fan of Sherlock Holmes, you will certainly want to engage your intellect, as he would say, "The game is afoot!" ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO Parking on the street Maximum Escape has many locations with different games.

Photo above is property of Code Candy Blue Company: Code Candy Blue Game: The Cryptographer Country: USA 🇺🇸 Language: English Type of Game: Digital Escape Game 💻 Genre: Detective, Mystery Date Played: October 16, 2021 Difficulty (based on 4-5 players): 7/10 Size of Team: 2-6 Players (Min. of 2 Players Required) Time: Unlimited (Suggested time 2 -3 hours) Price: $24.80/ Team (up to 6 logins) 🆃🅷🅴 🆂🆃🅾🆁🆈 You receive a cryptic message from an agent who went missing months ago. Clues guide you along a twisted path through the city of New Hyperion in search of the missing agent. Is it a plea for help, or a trap - or both? Only you and your team of agents can put a stop to a plan to control Earth's defense satellite system, IF you survive that long. Video above is property of Code Candy Blue 🆃🅷🅴 🅶🅰🅼🅴 🅿🅻🅰🆈 The Cryptographer is a website based investigation where you will examine clues and answer questions to progress through the game. You will receive a link and login details to the webpage where you will carry out your investigation. Everyone will need to create a login on their main website and the person purchase the game is the main host where others will enter their codes in as "guests". You and your team will all log into the same page, but your sites are not synced with each other. Everyone in the team will have to do all actions and type in all codes, so make sure that everyone follows along. Once logged in you are greeted by the home office communicator and given your first task. As with many tasks to come you use a special map to check your results and receive a final answer. Once you find the correct answer, you will input the answer on the site and be able to move along to your next mission with a new location, objective and task. Make to check your inventory panel on the left side as many information you need for the puzzle is not only in the clues provided but also within the documents. You might even need to refer back to previous information at times in order to solve the current puzzle. Along the way you have the option to take hints. For each mission you can choose to read multiple layered hints as well as the answer. You will not receive any penalties for reading the hints, so it will be completely up to you how to use them. Photos above are property of Code Candy Blue 🆃🅷🅴 🅿🆄🆉🆉🅻🅴🆂 The puzzles start off being quite simple looking through photos and deducing answers, but as the game progresses so does the level of interaction. From setting correct frequencies on a transmitter to clicking around as fast as possible to mark things before the time runs out, there’s a lot to actually do in this game. There are a few math puzzles that are more analytical and will challenge your logic. For example by choosing a correct path of addition and subtraction that will result in the defined number as well as a fair share of ciphers, anagrams, word scrambles, and artistic liberties of the use of the Fibonacci sequence. My favorite puzzle was a take on painting by numbers. It was a nice break and a chance for the team to reassemble. But don’t be fooled, it is not as easy as it looks. At one point you are faced with deciphering codes that are changing every 30 seconds. And unless you’ve managed to sync every click with the rest of your team down to the second you are on your own on this one! Photos above are property of Code Candy Blue 🅲🅻🅾🆂🅸🅽🅶 🆃🅷🅾🆄🅶🅷🆃🆂 The cryptographer is a game with a good mix of easy and more complex puzzles and tasks, and even though it only takes place on this one website it feels pretty interactive. I found that there were a few red herrings along the way, as well as some (what I would consider) outside knowledge needed, but not bad enough to keep our team too far off track. For a couple of the puzzles we spent way more time than needed, simply because we had missed a key part of it. But I actually enjoyed those two puzzles a lot anyway because exploring the devices inputs and outputs was fun on it’s own. I also think those missions were better suited for team play than others, which is something I appreciate in a game, especially when it’s not synced across devices. We actually divided into 2 teams for this game which was kind of fun to do it in competition style. Team A had 5 people and team B had 4. It was fun to gather back together after the game to discuss about the experience. All in all I really enjoyed The Cryptographer, even though I would have needed more help with the speed deciphering at the end. This game gave the option to let you try the puzzles on your own but play it through a team setting. 😉 (If you do decide to try this experience, give us a shoutout or tag us on social media so we know you heard it from "ESCAPETHEROOMers"!)

Country: USA 🇺🇸 Language: English Type of Game: Digital Escape Game 💻 Genre: Thriller Date Played: June 16, 2021 Difficulty (based on 6 players): 8/10 Size of Team: 2-6 Players (Min. of 2 Players Required) Time: Unlimited (Suggested time 2 -3 hours) Price: $24.80/ Team (up to 6 logins 🆃🅷🅴 🆂🆃🅾🆁🆈 You woke up with a major headache. All you see in a dead body next to you. You have no recollection of who you are. Slowly you begin to uncover your identity through clues that were left behind. There is no time to waste as you just realized that you need to infiltrate a terrorist organization in order to stop them from stealing a nuclear warhead! Video above is property of Code Candy Blue 🆃🅷🅴 🅶🅰🅼🅴 🅿🅻🅰🆈 We assembled a team of 6 over Zoom and each logged in with our own game code. The game is not synced so each of us will have to solve our own puzzles in order to proceed. I found that selecting one player to share his/her screen was very helpful to keep the team moving at the same pace. It's quite nice to have your own game code since you can control your own game and not be forced to move forward with the team. The purchaser will have 6 month to revisit the game before it expires. At the beginning of each puzzle page, you'll have a short narrative giving you some context to the story. We really liked that there's an audio option as well for player's not too fond of reading but more importantly the reading voice really sounded like a professional voice actor pulling us deeper into the mystery. The game contained mostly hi-res images as puzzle clues but occasionally we're able to "drag and drop" and interact with certain puzzles. As you "collected" the clues, they'll be put into your inventory bag. these are mainly documents so it'll open up as pop-up windows. Make sure to close them after use or else you might have too many windows by the end of the game. There were also nudging hints if you get stuck. I would highly recommend using them to keep the game flow. Photos above are property of Code Candy Blue 🆃🅷🅴 🅿🆄🆉🆉🅻🅴🆂 The puzzles really made us feel like we're a spy. We had to search for high secrecy locations, infiltrate enemy headquarters, find ways to identify and retrieve intel, and more! If you feel like you're flying through the beginning of the game, wait till you get to the latter part. The game warms you up with puzzles like "search and find", questionnaires and easy decryptions. Some puzzles were multi-step ones that I was glad that I was not alone. We spend a good amount of time on a Math problem and a deduction puzzle. If you're a beginner, look into their "Training Day" game first before trying this game. This game definitely will satisfy the enthusiasts that are looking for a challenge. 🅲🅻🅾🆂🅸🅽🅶 🆃🅷🅾🆄🅶🅷🆃🆂 Since we've played a good amount of digital escape games, it was quite nice to face a challenging one for once. We took about 2 hours to complete the game. I'm not going to lie, there were a few instances we almost pushed the "hint" button and lost some of players due to the complexity of a few of the puzzles. This is definitely a team game and you'll need to push each other through theses obstacles. Although the process caused some frustration, the satisfying "YES!" moment when we solved the puzzle as a team was a moment to remember forever.
