Beneath the Dark Dark Wood
You and your team of Special Agents arrive by submarine at Black Knight Island and are given top secret instructions, soon you’ll be in the dark dark wood, in the search for the hideout as you start your mission.
This is an online escape room game, you can can play alone or with friends/family/colleagues from different parts of the world, together.
You’ll see the mouse pointers of all players as you work separate, and together to explore 360 degree virtual rooms; if one of your team find something interesting, all the team will be alerted.
Simply book the game (one price for up to six player connections), arrange a time to play with friends/family/colleagues, and start a separate group call using your preferred calling service so you can hear each other.
You have 48 hours from when you start the game to complete this challenge. Most teams escape in under two and a half hours, some sooner, and just like a physical escape room… not all teams complete it!
There is a built in clue system (which you need to find), you get three clues (and can see your progress in the game so you can decide if you want to use a clue or not).
This game is fun, interactive and ideal for social gatherings, team building, and distributed teams.

Reviews
"We've played a good amount of Telescape games by now, so we're familiar with the usage of hotspots on certain areas for locks and interactive props. Due to the fact that "Beneath the Dark Dark Wood" had a lot of areas to explore and the puzzles were non linear, we really had to associate which puzzles went with what locks as there were many numbered digit locks, safe locks and other variations of combo locks. The puzzles were fairly difficult as some decryption were quite long. There was one design that we haven't seen used in Telescape before where two players had to simultaneously do something in order to make something work. This really felt like an action that we would do in a real life escape room."
