Turn a place, event or product into an adventure
Epic Scape creates story-driven puzzle games that bring a new perspective to familiar places and objects. Players follow a story, explore details and solve puzzles using their own phones.
We work with you to design and build your game. Players scan a QR code to start playing in their browser. No app download or registration required.
What can a game be built around?
A place
Museum collections, a library building, the details of a church or statues in a park can all become part of a puzzle. The game encourages visitors to look closer and discover the place through a story.
An event
A game gives people something to enjoy together at a festival or other event. The story can connect different locations, introduce activities or offer a short adventure while visitors wait.
An object or product
A physical object can also be the starting point for an adventure. Its illustrations, shapes and details can hide clues that players need to move the story forward.
A phone game that gets players looking around
Epic Scape is played on a phone, but the screen does not hold every answer. Players also need to observe the place around them or the object in their hands.
The story gives them a reason to explore. The puzzles help them notice more.
You know your subject. We build the game.
You bring your expertise, ideas and goals. We take care of the story, puzzles and technical implementation.
A building, a collection, an event theme or a single product can be the starting point. Together, we find the right foundation for your game.
Our work with partners
Rikhardinkatu Library has renewed its contract three times.
More than 1,400 players played our games in 2025, with an average player rating of nearly 4 out of 5.
We had been planning an escape game for Rikhardinkatu Library ourselves for a long time, so the opportunity to try Epic Scape came at just the right moment. It was easy to design the game together to suit the library setting. Playing is straightforward and offers just the right level of challenge, which surely explains why it has attracted such a diverse and enthusiastic group of players. Höijer’s historic building is ideal for this kind of game, but customisation would certainly make it work in any space. The game offers both an enjoyable experience and a new way to explore the library.
Epic Scape brought new energy to our museum. Players were enthusiastic, and the game was easy to implement without additional resources. I warmly recommend it to other museums.
A game for visitors. Insights for you.
See how visitors play and progress
The reporting dashboard shows how much your game is played, how players progress and how long they spend playing. You can also see which puzzles require hints. Data updates in real time. Export reports as PDF or CSV files for your own reporting.
Add your own puzzles
Every trail includes an admin panel where your staff can add puzzles for school holidays, reading challenges or themed events. The panel also includes guidance on writing puzzles. A finished trail can stay in use for a long time. For new visitors, the story and puzzles are always new.
Pricing
You pay a one-time fee for designing and building the trail, followed by a monthly fee for the months it is active.
One custom game trail
Design and production: €1,900
Monthly fee: €149/month
We write the story and design the puzzles specifically for your location.
Two custom game trails
Design and production: €1,900 + €1,500
Combined monthly fee: €299/month
We plan both trails together, which reduces the production cost of the second trail.
What does the monthly fee include?
The monthly fee includes the game platform, maintenance, visitor data and reports, an admin panel for adding your own puzzles, and support.
Keep your trail open when you need it
- The minimum active period is one month. Keep your trail open all year or just for part of the year.
- For example, you can close an outdoor trail for winter and reopen it in spring. There is no monthly fee while the trail is paused, and your trail stays saved. Reopening does not incur another production fee.
- Additional languages and commissioned puzzles are agreed separately as part of production.
Example total costs
- One trail for a one-month event: €2,049
- One trail for a three-month season: €2,347
- One trail for six months: €2,794
