Anyone who has never experienced an online escape room should change that as soon as possible. Corona has brought a lot of negative things with it, but it has also helped to create an incredible amount of new things in a very short space of time and to break new ground. The lockdowns have given a particularly strong push to the digitalization of our community life and so the extremely popular escape room games have also continued their triumphal march through virtual space.
If you’d like to have an exciting virtual online escape room experience from the comfort of your own sofa, then you’ll want to know which ones are the best.
The best online escape rooms
We have summarized our personal online escape room experiences for you in this blog and present our top 3 online escape room games here. You can find out how much the games cost, how many people can play, how long the games last and much more.
Of course, our hard-working team has also recognized the signs of the times and used the pandemic to develop an electronic version of our elaborate escape room adventures with OPOLUM O. That’s why we’re starting right away:
OPOLUM Online – the missing scientist
OPOLUM O. tells the story leading up to the current performance at OPOLUM. The game is therefore interesting both for those who have already solved the puzzle live and for those who will soon be playing the exciting game in the original setting of OPOLUM – Hamburg’slargest escape room– for the first time.
The story is set in the age of booming industrialization in the 19th century. The newspapers report that intensive research is being carried out into the possibility of giving shipping wings. Airships? Will they soon exist? A scientist seems to be on the verge of putting the idea into practice, but suddenly he disappears – who or what is behind it? Together with Inspector Winters, you search the scientist’s apartment for clues and make a shocking discovery …
The game is extremely varied with great sound effects, video sequences and lots of entertaining, exciting and sometimes funny puzzles and is set in the original OPOLUM locations.
The puzzle fun costs only € 4,- per person with 5 participants. There is no limit to the number of participants, but it is not designed for more than 5 players, as this can reduce the gaming experience. This online experience can be played with a Google Chrome browser on the desktop (not on mobile).
And here we go!
Nexus Exit – Crazy through the future
The head professor has disappeared without a trace from the Nexus Cooperation’s time travel laboratory. But it’s not just her – important machines that must never fall into unauthorized hands have also disappeared. It is feared that the unscrupulous Exitus Evil Cooperation is behind this. If you succeed in rescuing the professor, you will also save the entire human race. Are you up to the task and the pressure? Don’t worry, you will receive the best possible support from artificial intelligence Alpha 1.0 on this crazy mission!
This game is a special kind of humorous journey through time, which is ideal for 2 to 6 players and requires good teamwork. There is no limit to the number of players. Particularly original and varied: you don’t just sit in front of the screen the whole time, you have to solve some puzzles in your immediate surroundings! Of course, this adventure is also packed with all the technical refinements such as sound effects and video sequences etc.
The game is divided into 2 x 60 minutes and you can take a break of any length after the first half. With 6 participants, this quirky fun costs € 6.70 per person.
So if you want it to be tricky and fun, you can get your tickets in our online store.
And if you’re ever in Gelnhausen in Germany, you can also pay Nexus Exit a live visit.
Crime Runners – Back to the Congressman
Some time has passed since the catastrophe surrounding Project X. Reconstruction is almost over and the world has recovered well. The dark days of self-isolation are finally over and people are back on the streets. Restaurants and parks are open and children are finally allowed to go to the playgrounds again.
It almost looks as if nothing has happened, but scars remain. We, the few honest criminals, are the poorest victims of the prevailing economic crisis, because we don’t know where else there is money to be found. So it’s back to Plan A: unfortunately, we didn’t manage to get our hands on the money reserves of corrupt politician Simon Dickson in our first attempt, so we have to go back to where it all began and complete our mission back then!
The game costs € 19.90 and can also be played by one person alone, but is suitable for up to 4 players. The game lasts between 60 and 90 minutes. If you decide to play, you will receive a € 10 discount code for the exciting live experience!
You can find tickets for the Crime Runners escape game in our online store.
