A wacky online island to get lost in, solve puzzles together and stop a rogue A.I. from uploading his malicious code onto the web. Created in Amsterdam by escape room designers Sherlocked and the team behind Mibo, the magical new videochat platform.

Super cool! I’ve been a big fan of the in-person escape rooms of Sherlocked so Im excited to see how this translates to an online experience. What were some of the differences you had to deal with in order to move the escape room online?

@samuelbeek The obvious advantages are that you can dream up things like portals and pirate ships :) On the other hand you have to make up for the loss of sensory diversity that you get in a live room. Mibo gives a massive leg up there, because the feeling of 'presence' and especially *social* presence is so strong in their 3D video environment. If we'd have made it in any other platform, I think it would have been a much more challenging conversion.

We built this game together with our fellow Amsterdammers, the team behind the spatial video chat platform Mibo (much more to come from them very soon!). We're currently in strict lockdown over here, just like many parts of the world. Our aim with this game is to provide people with a way to have fun together, even when physically apart. In Amsterdam, where we're based, the government is seriously considering a curfew or 'nightclock'. If that happens, we'll be even more confined to our homes and online experiences like these become even more important. We made the game as fun, colourful and as accessible as we could, with the aim of giving a joyous experience to as many people as possible (we even tested it with some of the grandparents in our families. They required some guidance in the beginning, but it was striking how quickly they got the hang of it!) We hope you enjoy it! Our hope is to make many more :)
