Already growing steadily in recent years, in recent months we have seen the phenomenon of online events multiplying to adapt to the new requirements dictated by Covid-19. In addition to companies, there have been numerous event agencies forced to move their business to the web world by experimenting with online events.
The challenge is, therefore, to create new ways of aggregation, safely and remotely.
In this, platforms such as MysterU can act as an intermediary to provide users with an activity that replaces, in a new and unique way, the experience of an offline escape room. One can have a single group playing, or multiple groups or individuals playing simultaneously, allowing participants to interact with each other and ask questions.
One of the advantages of online events is the breaking down of geographical barriers to participation. As MysterU is digital… it can be played without exception everywhere and by anyone!
If you reserve an online event through us, it is necessary to make sure that the value of the connections and of the community among the participants, makes it possible to bring in remote participants and interact with them directly in the virtual setting. It is also essential to allow them to share the experience after the event, perhaps on social platforms.
But how to make an online escape room experience better or more exciting than an offline one? The first and most important step is to balance the loss of a physical setting with an extra online element. This can be ensured in MysterU through the integration of different platforms, the ability to find clues on real sites, and the thinning of the boundary between reality and play.
If already in the offline version escape rooms need something unexpected and new, this will need to be even more reinforced in the digital world.
And MysterU seems to have fully grasped the challenge.
