Is Online Escape Room Fun?

Is Online Escape Room Fun?

All arcades and game attraction places are closed due to Movement Control Order (MCO) and even escape room like Breakout have to temporarily shut down to curb the covid-19 pandemic. You have tried dalgona coffee, being a home chef, online classes but online mobile games are just not your thing. What about playing a life-like rescue mission via ZOOM? Yes, you might have ZOOM fatigue and assume online escape room is not as fun as the physical game, but this online game does not stop there. Breakout brought Escape Room online which requires players to be played virtually with a theme called ‘Finding Chris’, a rescue missio.

So, let’s us convince you.

 Gather 2 – 5 players

You can call up your friends and family from the Board Game Club on Saturday’s night. Gather up not more than 5 players or if you have more than 5 players, you will have to split into a different group. But, hey make it a game competition and compete with your friends and find out who is smarter?

All you need is 2 devices and a stable internet connection.

Well how can you call it a virtual game if you don’t have your device with you? To have a smooth and great online experience, we recommend you to prepare your laptop or desktop (preferred) and your mobile phone or tablet/ipad. Make sure your internet connection is good and stable. If you’re using wifi, make sure it is stable because you don’t want to lose connectivity when you’re in the middle of saving ‘someone’.

Pay attention to briefing and the storyline

In any escape room games, it is always important for you to know what to expect and prepare beforehand. Make sure you listen to the briefing carefully and immerse yourself into the game storyline that will be told. Just a heads up, you are on a role of a group of HACKERS for a search and rescue mission to FIND CHRIS. So imagine yourself rescuing someone (an actor) who is being abducted.

Interact with Actor and solve puzzles are part of your mission.

You have come to the most interesting part of the game! Yes, you will be interacting with the LIVE actor through a shared screen mimicking a real time CCTV camera. He’s being kidnapped for real! Well not that real like in the latest movie installment of Escape Room 2. It’s a mimic of a real-life scenario.The actor is part of the whole scenario, interacting with the actor, meaning you can literally communicate and work together with him/her to accomplish the mission.

How to WIN this escape room mission?

We post the weekly leaderboard on our Breakout’s Social Media. The higher score you get, the chance to be at the top of the leaderboard is higher. To win the game and get ranked on our leaderboard, make sure you and the team:

  1. solve all the game’s puzzles correctly and only ask for a hint when needed. 
  2. Communicate among yourself and with the actor.
  3. Think outside the box. Use google, social media and other external resources to help you.
  4. Delegate the task and not everyone doing the same thing. 

Now you get the idea of playing our online escape room. Does it sounds fun to you? So wait no more, imaging now you are part of the hackers in those mystery movies on Netflix!
