THE SETTING

An ordinary farmhouse turned crucible

The scenario starts as a simple countryside walk and quickly shifts into an immersive escape challenge inside an old farmhouse: the building and its atmosphere are the central stage for the hour‑long trial.

THE CHALLENGE

A strict 60‑minute time limit

From the moment the game begins you and your team have one hour to find and solve the clues that will let you exit the farmhouse—pressure, pacing and collaboration are the core demands of the experience.

THE STORY

A maritime‑tinged mystery

The farmhouse’s backstory ties to Captain Magnus, a seafarer whose tales of mythical creatures and a hidden treasure form the narrative thread you unravel during the game.

As the clock counts down, the atmosphere tightens—fragments of Captain Magnus’s life and the farmhouse’s secrets converge into puzzles that require teamwork to solve within sixty minutes.
