Event Overview

A deadly blizzard. A snowed-in hut. And just 60 minutes to escape. During a polar expedition, your team is forced to take shelter deep in the mountains. With exits blocked and no signal, it’s a race against time to crack clues, power the generator and signal for help before the storm traps you for good.

Joining from their laptops, participants team up in virtual breakout rooms while a live host guides the experience. With the help of a custom app on their phones, teams solve interactive puzzles and uncover hidden clues in this high-stakes virtual escape room.

How It Works

  • Before the virtual corporate event, participants receive joining instructions and download our custom game app onto their smartphones.
  • On the event day, they join the live virtual team building activity via their laptops or computers, where a professional host sets the scene: your team is mid-expedition to the South Pole when a violent blizzard hits, forcing you to seek shelter in a remote mountain hut.
  • As the storm intensifies, it becomes clear — you’re completely snowed in and communication is limited. With the temperature dropping and time running out, you must rely on what little you find inside: a broken radio, scattered supplies and a series of cryptic clues left behind.
  • Working together in breakout rooms, teams solve immersive puzzles designed to simulate real-world survival logic, from restoring power to decoding GPS coordinates needed to signal mountain rescue.
  • Each challenge unlocks the next stage of the mission, as the clock counts down. The faster your team works, the closer you’ll get to escaping the hut and calling for help before the storm seals your fate.
  • A real-time leaderboard adds to the suspense, with a final reveal and virtual celebration to wrap up this frostbitten escape.
