EscapeGroups is being designed for organizers who want one connected escape-room event without travel, headsets, downloads, or a facilitator contract. Participants join in a modern browser, work in small teams, and solve the same room while the organizer follows the event from a separate host view.
One connected room, not a folder of unrelated riddles
A real online escape-room format gives the group a shared premise, connected evidence, a sequence of locks, and a clear finish. The planned EscapeGroups experience will keep clues, progress, hints, and results inside one event rather than asking an organizer to stitch together documents, forms, and answer keys.

Small-team collaboration inside one larger event
A common start and comparable finish times

Compare the alternatives
Browser access removes venue and equipment bottlenecks
Physical escape rooms can be immersive, but capacity is tied to a location and a small number of rooms. VR adds hardware and support requirements. Printable games can be inexpensive, but the organizer usually owns printing, answer checking, and timing. A browser-based room is intended to preserve a connected experience while making access and multi-team logistics more predictable.
Remote, hybrid, and in-person groups can use the same event
Remote teams can communicate in Zoom or Microsoft Teams while every participant keeps the room open in a browser. In-person teams can gather around laptops or tablets. Hybrid groups work best when organizers assign balanced teams and give remote participants their own active clue view and voice channel.

Buyer clarity
Know the time, capacity, and planned cost before inviting anyone
Full rooms are planned for a 45–60 minute event. Launch tiers are planned at $29 for up to eight participants, $59 for up to 30, and $99 for up to 100. Those prices and capacities remain prelaunch plans until gameplay, load testing, and payment are live.
It is a connected escape-room experience delivered digitally. EscapeGroups is planned as a browser-based team event with a room, clues, progress, hints, and final standings—not a VR product or a static worksheet.
Is an online escape room the same as a virtual escape room?
People use the terms interchangeably. This page covers both and focuses on a browser-based format rather than a headset-based virtual-reality experience.
Will players need to download an app or use VR?
No download or headset is planned. Current desktop and laptop browsers are the primary target, with tablet support planned.
Can a work team use Zoom or Microsoft Teams?
Yes. Remote teams can keep their existing meeting open for voice communication while EscapeGroups provides the game layer.
How many people can join one event?
The planned launch tiers cover up to eight, 30, or 100 participants. Larger events are divided into smaller teams playing simultaneously.
Is the online escape room playable now?
No. EscapeGroups is in prelaunch. Early-access registration is open, but no playable room, payment, or launch date is promised yet.
