Question 1

What's this all about then, How does it work?

Answer

Ok, it goes something like this.... 1. You connect to our game master using Zoom. https://zoom.us 2. The rest of your team also connects to the call. 3. When everyone is ready the game starts, the game master will give you the backstory and they will then enter the room. 4. From here the GM will describe everything they see in the room, you can then ask them to look at specific things and direct them to do things in the room. You will work with your game master to solve the puzzles and escape the room. 5. During the game a map will be displayed on your screen so you can see what is in the room. If you find any puzzles they may also be displayed on screen for you to inspect/solve. 6. The GM will try all codes you ask them to and tell you if they worked or not.
