Que disent les gens de ce jeu ?
Problematic for groups
The escape room is good for 1 group but when it comes to running 2 groups of 5 as advertised is possible, the codes only work for 1 group to complete the puzzles. The second group couldn’t get past the codes.
Réponse de Escape Room Geeks
We are sorry to hear about the trouble you experienced with running the escape room with two groups. To make it clear, when played in multiple groups, we recommend providing each group with its own copy of the game and a separate device running the app. This way, each group can play independently and check their own codes on their device without any overlap.
Circus Medrano Comes to Africa!
Greetings from beautiful Uganda, the Pearl of Africa! 🇺🇬😊
We wanted to let you all know how much our students enjoyed solving the mystery of Medrano Circus. First, some background…
We are house parents at The Amazima School, a secondary boarding school in Jinja. We oversee a dorm of 18 Ugandan teenage boys, ranging in age from 16-20. All of these guys come from hard places and have experienced some level of trauma. Our role is to provide a safe, loving environment while they are at school and to cultivate partnership with their families and guardians to ensure a quality education as well as spiritual growth.
One of their favorite Saturday night activities is the Escape Room Geeks games. When they returned to the house from dinner last weekend to find it decorated and set up, they broke into big smiles and did, “Yay!! Escape room!” They were delighted!
This is our third Escape Room Geeks game night at our house. And it did not disappoint. We decorated the dorm with brightly colored balloons and played circus music. We played the the opening story from the app, then divided them into three teams of 6 and sent them into their rooms with the first challenge. Each team had an adult mentor with a phone and the apo, as the students themselves do not have phones at school.
At certain points when they completed a challenge, we rewarded the teams with circus themed treats such as peanuts and sodas. We even recruited two small children from a couple that lives on campus to act as our kidnap victims so when they solved the final challenge, they actually had to find the door with the correct address and open it. When they did, out came the two children, excitedly thanking them for rescuing them. Afterwards, when the teams completed the game, we gave them funnel cakes as a treat. They had never had them before and they really enjoyed them. They said this was the best one yet, but also for them the easiest as they are becoming pros at solving escape rooms. 🙂
Next term, we plan to do another. Unfortunately, we are unable to send many photos, due to a strict school policy of not taking and/or publishing photos of the students’ faces. We are attaching a few from various escape rooms that do not show their faces.
Thank you all for providing such excellent games. We have never been disappointed. And here at the school, we emphasize critical thinking skills and creative problem solving, so they are perfect vehicles for our students to exercise in a practical way the skills they are developing at the school.
Looking forward to the next escape room night!
It was okay
Many many glitches we entered the right code but the app said it was incorrect. It should also not rely on capital letters and commas

Ce jeu est conçu autour du principe du travail en équipe et de la réflexion collective, ce qui le rend particulièrement amusant.
