- How does an online escape room work with these templates?
- Each template is a chain of locks. Players open a link, read the first riddle, type the code, and the next lock appears, until the last one reveals the treasure: a message, a photo, a video, a file or the next clue of a real-world hunt. Nothing to install, and no account for the players.
- Can I use them for a real treasure hunt, outdoors or in a building?
- Yes. Put a QR code at each station that opens the lock for that station, or use the GPS trail template, whose locks only open when a player's phone is actually standing where you said. The reveal of each lock can be the hint for where the next one is hidden.
- How long does it take to make my own escape room from a template?
- About twenty minutes. Copy the template, rewrite the riddles and codes to your place and your players, swap the reward, and publish. The structure, the hints and the wrong-answer messages are already there.
