We loved online escape rooms so much during the pandemic, that of course we made some ourselves (A familiar story in the escape room world).

We still play every few weeks and would love to see more lists and reviews to find them. Prefer the non-hosted ones – mostly because of time zone differences (we are in Denmark or Thailand a lot) but also because we are shy people :).

In my work, I play online escape rooms with my geo-distributed teams. Big success and it tells us so much about our team dynamic and what we can work on to improve collaboration.

An interesting industry tidbit: I’ve found that, in a post(ish)-COVID world, the most frequent players of online hosted experiences by far are corporate groups. A lot of teams that work remotely or bigger companies that span geographic locations do online events as team-building.

Our online escape room is still live and we somewhat surprisingly still sell 1-3 per week to people around the world. David reviewed it years ago. https://www.traptct.com/room/online-puzzle-hunt/

Loved this read, Matthew! Thanks for it! 🙂

It’s fortuitous that this was posted today, as I was just chatting with one of my Morty Meetup cohorts about how I would love for REA to revisit their online escape room recs list. For team building/networking and for people who live in escape room deserts, knowing what online rooms are available and which are worth it is still of interest. I know REA always has a lot on its plate, but I’d like to kindly request a refresh of the aforementioned page. 🙂
