How Do Virtual Escape Rooms Work?

The Game Informer crew took a (digital) field trip to a virtual escape room to figure out exactly how solving puzzles and completing challenges works over a video call. Join us as we take on the mantle of art thieves and try to steal back a priceless painting before time runs out! theescapegame....

This is really rad! And a great adaptation to the times, keeping these people employed and providing entertainment for people who are stuck inside. I think this would be great for families, especially those who aren't totally game savvy. I also totally appreciate the field agent's "ah!" every time they solved something. Super wholesome. Haha. Great piece of content!

Thats a really cool adaption for the corona situation!

I appreciate the need to diversify during the pandemic, but I would not find this fun. If it would have to be virtual, I would prefer the video game style of escape. Thank you for this video, though, so I know what I would be getting in to. The one plus I can see is that you could play rooms in other countries that you might not otherwise get the opportunity to play.

Seems like they helped you out just a little to have it done in time. Cool room!

[@wastelanda7x]

Feels like you could just be playing a video game

I saw that painting in a escape room video game

[@MisforMicah]

Oh cool, this is the Escape Game in Nashville (could be another city if they have duplicate rooms). I’ve done the exact same one before and it’s super fun!

[@r1cky2]

Ive always wanted to do an escape room but it seems scary

[@gman2015z]

I feel like working at Wal-Mart for 2 years prepared me for escape rooms, virtual or in person.

[@Xiox321]

That's cool and all, but all of the escape rooms in my area are actually open for regular business, they just take an extra half hour cleaning the rooms after each use.

[@Michelle-te4nc]

Delightful!

[@adminomhfoz1908]

[@daviddunmer3889]

[@xeroblastx]

This one is hard!

[@jadenkelly5370]

Yo can yall reveal the history of the Spiderman miles Morales 2020 suit

[@OS-yf3ko]

Wow the camera person needs a stabilizer 😅 cool idea though

[@Prasutagucaster]

Your own room becomes the prison. Socialise and grow as a person….true reality.

[@Aro-zc2hu]

I hope there’s more Footage of miles Morales

[@hustle_simmons]

I was kind of hoping for an escape room video game.

[@theobserver3946]

DBZ tenkaichi 3 is the goat

[@gamercj1088]

[@Zdog-nd2cp]

[@CuteWeeb]

[@3mkb]

Hi (:

[@lukasie8720]

Idea is OK but quality ... And some form fun really shit.....

[@Sir.Craze-]

Seams a bit cheap. I mean, what was the price actually? Also. The field agent could have used a more gruff voice... Oh wait... That's definitely agentest.

[@CampbellYoungblood]

Yeah the concept is really cool and the execution is on the right track but could definitely be improved.
