Escape Room
Virtual Search for the Cure is an immersive virtual escape room game that features a mysterious dilemma that teams must tackle together.
Teams are put into the shoes of a biomedical researcher, confronted with a mysterious ailment infecting the people around them.
Your group will play in teams of 4 to 6 players, with a captain to lead each team. Each team will choose a time convenient for them to virtually gather to complete the episode. At the end of the play period, all the scores will be compiled, and a final scoreboard will be sent to all participants showing where their team placed and announcing the winning team.
