How It Works

 

Before the Event

Once you’ve booked, we’ll provide everything needed to get your group ready for game day, including participant joining instructions and app download links. Teams can download the app before the event, ensuring everyone is ready to play when the activity begins.

 

The Start (15 mins)

Remote Hosted: Your host will welcome the group, explain the rules, create random teams and move participants into breakout rooms.

Self Managed: You’ll receive full access to the game platform and a pre-recorded briefing video. Your team will be responsible for setting up the video call, playing the briefing and creating breakout rooms.

Either way, participants are ready to start competing within minutes.

 

During the Challenge (60 mins)

After the briefing, teams are sent into breakout rooms for 60-minutes of app-powered gameplay. Working together over video call, they’ll solve puzzles, crack codes and uncover clues hidden throughout the experience as they work their way through the storyline. The goal is simple: complete the mission and call for help before time runs out.

 

The Wrap-Up (15 mins)

Teams return to the main meeting room for the results reveal.

Remote Hosted: Your host will announce the winners and showcase the leaderboard.

Self-Managed: The live leaderboard remains available throughout the game, allowing you to review results and celebrate the winners with your group.

WHY TEAMS LOVE IT

Crack the Clues

Your team’s survival depends on your wits. Explore the Arctic landscape through our app, uncover hidden objects, and decipher cryptic codes that could mean the difference between life and frostbite.

To get the generator running, you’ll need to crack the lock and call for help — but only if you can piece the clues together in time.
