Escape Hunt has today released booking slots for customers to play a remote version of their 5 star escape room Doctor Who: Worlds Collide.
Now booking, this remote experience invites friends, family and colleagues to come together via Zoom and play Escape Hunt’s physical escape room from their own homes. You and your team will direct a real-life expert games master, move them around the room, find hidden clues, solve puzzles, and see if you can escape before time runs out!
In Doctor Who: Worlds Collide, The Doctor needs you: a tear in space and time has been detected, and the Cybermen are about to break through! Step into the future. Enter the offices of ChronosCorp HQ, where eccentric billionaire Alastair Montague’s efforts to develop commercial time travel have caused a tear in the fabric of space and time. The Cybermen are ready to take advantage and attack Earth. You, the Doctor’s friends, must investigate the incident. The remains of Montague, his prototype time engine and the extensive collection of time-related artefacts acquired over the course of his experiments, are all that you have to work with. The fate of the universe is in your hands. Take too long and the human race will be “upgraded”.
Richard Harpham, CEO Escape Hunt PLC, says:
“We’re delighted to be expanding our range of at home experiences with remote play games. It’s fantastic that now, using technology, we can give people the opportunity to play our much-loved physical escape rooms in their own homes.”
The play at home experience allows players from the same or separate households to take part together and solve the puzzles.
It's a 1 hour experience replicating the in-room play experience suitable for 1 to 6 players aged 8+. Prices are charged per game play and are set for all group sizes. Doctor Who: Worlds Collide costs £60 per gameplay.
