ChainEscape
Play a real escape room together with friends - without needing to be online at the same time.
ChainEscape is an asynchronous multiplayer escape room designed for the web. It combines clever browser-based meta-puzzles with social mini-games that you can share with your friends.
How it Works
- Solve Solo Puzzles: You start as the primary player, navigating through web-native meta-puzzles that twist how you use your browser (think zooming, scrolling, and resizing).
- Hit a "Friend Gate": Eventually, you'll reach a locked gate that you cannot pass alone.
- Share the Link: Generate a unique link and send it to a friend via WhatsApp, Discord, or any messaging app.
- They Help You Escape: Your friend opens the link on their device, completes a quick, isolated mini-game (like drawing a clue or solving a photo riddle), and submits it.
- Chain Reaction: The moment they succeed, your room automatically unlocks, allowing you to continue the escape!
Features
- True Asynchronous Co-op: No scheduling, no voice calls, no real-time syncing required.
- Web-Native Magic: Puzzles that use the browser interface in surprising ways.
- Frictionless Sharing: Friends don't need an account or an app to help you - just a browser.
- The End Recap: Finish the room to get a shareable recap gallery of all the funny drawings and photos your friends submitted to help you escape.
