EscapeGames360 is a series of games taking place in real historical locations such as castles and cathedrals.
The places are fully scanned and then augmented with additional 3D graphics, combining all the details of the actual place with extra characters, puzzles and 3D elements that create the most compelling adventures.
It is played on the web and is available on computers, smartphones and on VR headsets.
Let's rediscover our cultural heritage from a new angle.
The first episode "The treasure of the Cathedral" will be released in April 2021 and is free. Check out our video trailer and follow us on social media to get the latest news!
We scan a historical place such as a castle by taking 360° spherical photos with a special camera on a tripod, positioned every 1 to 2 meters. A virtual environment is created from this scan. Then, additional 3D-graphics such as virtual characters, puzzles and animated machines are added to augment the environment and create a story-based game or any kind of web interactive experiences.
The game will work on standard browsers and standard devices such as laptops, tablets and iOS and Android smartphones. It will also work on selected Virtual Reality headsets such as the Oculus Quest. It uses webVR/webXR so it is launched from the browser, not a store.

Yes, that's the plan. Players will be able to solve the escape-game in teams organised in virtual rooms with the ability to chat (text) and see each other wander. Players can also use Zoom or Skype for voice.
