The Introduction
The player experience begins with an introduction to our virtual escape room. In this
introduction, players learn that they need to work together to solve clues and complete tasks in
order to escape the Emermont Forest and get back to their car safely. Moreover, they are
informed that they will not need to Google anything as everything they need to escape can be
found in their backpack or in the clues/tasks/hints. Finally, they are provided with links to four
different backpacks. Each backpack contains all of the items needed to escape, but they all
consist of different additional items to encourage players to work together and determine what
backpack items will be needed to complete the tasks. The introduction ends by reminding players
that the experience is meant to be played in groups of 4-8 people and that it should only take
about 30 minutes to complete.
Section 1
Following the introduction, players are launched right into the start of the game. The game
begins by stressing to players that they will need to get moving quickly if they want to make it
out of the forest before it is too dark.
