This is creative. Logistically how does this work if you have 10 people on Zoom shouting commands, @crina_oana_bordas?
Nic Byron
@crina_oana_bordas @rrhoover haha my first thought exactly 🥴

@rrhoover Hi Ryan! Based on our experience from building our previous remote escape game Lola in Spaceº, we find that teams of 5-8 works best. After that it can get messy. For Moonshot, we divide large teams into smaller units of 5-8 players to compete in a real-life space race. 🏆It also has many touch points for each team to interact with, without bottle-necking the game master: such as the virtual assistant, real-world puzzle content and props on the Lunar station that the players can control. Most of our customers have teams larger than 10 players so it was important for us to find a way to have larger teams play together in a meaningful way. 😊

@rrhoover @nicbyron yep you are sopt on! How to scale virtual meeting size while maximizing immersion was our design challenge for Moonshotº 🔥

Did you guys know you are ripping off Reason Studios logo? Not only the name but the identical logo... Seriously do a little googling and you will find it.
Crina Oana Bordas
@devon_devo_thanks Devos thanks for the feedback. Looks like the company you mentioned used to have 3 cubes in its logo and now has one cube. Will talk to our design firm to avoid cubes in the future! 👍

@crina_oana_bordas Hi Crina, can I book the room for 10 people at checkout but pay to add more players later before our scheduled date? Thank you!
Crina Oana Bordas
@shanander absolutely that is actually what we recommend also! See you guys soon 😀

Hey! We do escape rooms in Minecraft. Remotefun.co So far kinds birthday parties and corporate team building events have loved the experience.
Crina Oana Bordas
@joemellin Minecraft is fun!
Shreyas Nivas
This is super cool 😎. Is there a v2 where you want Eva to be able to speak using dynamic TTS? We'd like to help you with that 🤘
Crina Oana Bordas
@shreyas_nivas Thats cool, will check out Replica for our next game! 🏆

Super interesting, can’t quite tell from the video but is there a live “host” like in an meatspace escape room, or is that automated. Structured social activities for groups feels key especially now.
Crina Oana Bordas
@nabeel Hi Nabeel, we do have a live host to progress the narrative, guide players and help with hints :) Agree that structured social activities are key!

Looks awesome! I would definitely try it with friends. Pointer: it was not clear if you are offering a platform for people to build virtual escape rooms, or you already built the escape rooms and you are inviting people to play. I got the feeling that it is the former, so I haven't registered, I would just like to play it ones there is a game setup.
Crina Oana Bordas
@pinter69 Hi Peter! Thanks for the feedback. That's a very good point. We have already built the escape room and we're trying to showcase how it works :)
David Tabachnikov
Almost booked it for our team, until I've seen the price... Almost $1000 for 1 hour is definitely overkill.
Barbra Gago
I love this! And nice solution about breaking larger groups into smaller teams. Can’t wait to try it.
Crina Oana Bordas
@barbragago thanks Barbars, would love to host the Miro team, shoot us a note and we'll take good care of you. See you soon in Space!👩‍🚀
Nelson Nava
Wanted to ask what is it? And finally I understood that it's a quiz game (like I visit in rooms) but in online! Great idea
Crina Oana Bordas
@navanel yeah it was a bit complicated to explain so we had to make a video 😂
Ashleel Londa
This is the article I was looking for .Thankyou for such wonderful information. Good Job

Sisun Lee

Jerry Shan
What's the difference between this and a multiplayer computer game with camera feature embedded?
Crina Oana Bordas
@shantianyun Hi jerry, the main difference with a computer game is that Moonshot is live hosted game with interaction with real person and physical (and digital) props. ☕️
Edgar Estrada
This looks cool! I do several escape rooms with my friends. I should definitely try one out. Also Good luck.
Crina Oana Bordas
@edgar_estrada1 Thank you!! We love trying out new escape rooms too :)

Crina Oana Bordas

Crina Oana Bordas
@ad000 Hi Andrew, the game takes place at set times. Take a look at our calendar in PST (San Francisco time). Shoot us a note if you can't find anything and we'll try our best to make it work. 😊 https://www.tryreason.com/moonshot

I have been to Reason before the pandemic for their physical games. This looks like a nice pivot for Covid.
Crina Oana Bordas
@bradywalden small business hustle :) Glad you like it!
Michael Vickers
Are you guys open to partnerships?
Crina Oana Bordas

Fred Voser
Is this a temporary Covid project or something that'll continue after things go back to normal?
Crina Oana Bordas
@fredvoser we are always building new experiences. It's exciting to see where Moonshot will take us next as the medium continues to evolve! 🦄
Nick Yerhart
Is this available in Asian Timezone?
