A downloadable escape room

Download NowName your own price

A virtual narrative escape room you can host or play with your friends, inspired by Escape This Podcast (listen to my podcast episode of this room here).

The setting: you find yourself fallen asleep inside an astronomical observatory and wake up the next morning locked in. Solve puzzles to find your way out. You better think fast if you're going to make it to work on time!

Typical time to complete: a little less than 2 hours.

Players: 1 game master (running the game like a tabletop RPG) plus 1 or more puzzle-solving players trying to escape (playing as a single character narratively).

Format: PDF of game master notes, including how to play, a prologue, an epilogue, embedded images, full set of object/action descriptions, and puzzle hints/solutions. Plus Zip file of just the images to show players.

Update (March 2023): polished up puzzle design and interactions to simplify some parts that needlessly padded playtime; changed some puzzles to be simpler based on playtests.
Update (May 2022): various minor fixes/updates based on more playtests.
