First AR Puzzle Live – Maria 01 Track Gets Reality-Bending Upgrade

Epic Scape has launched its first augmented reality puzzle as part of the refreshed Maria 01 Startup Campus track. The game remains free and runs directly in the browser — no downloads required, just like every Epic Scape experience.

The new AR puzzle adds a fresh layer to the adventure. Players use their phone's camera to find the correct target in the campus courtyard. Once found, the camera reveals an in-game challenge that requires insight and careful observation to solve.

And here's the twist: there's nothing to share or submit. Everything happens directly on the player's device. This makes the experience both secure and privacy-respecting, while still being clever and fun.

""This is a big moment for us. AR has been in the plans for a long time, and now players get to experience for the first time how the real and digital worlds merge within Epic Scape,"" says Jyri Puhakka, game developer.

The refreshed Maria 01 x Epic Scape track is now open to all visitors and playable for free at m01.epicscape.game.
