Virtual Escape Room - Save the earth and earth will save you!

escape room

What: We will be designing a virtual escape room where participants can come in as an individual or the group. They will have to solve different environmental riddles to escape the room. We will portray the room as earth. If participants make any mistake (potentially does something that's against saving the biodiversity), the room (earth) will turn darker which signifies pollution and plastics. We will be broadcasting the games live for a wider audience to engage and watch.
