Escape game FAQ

A QR code escape game, explained.

How does an escape game with QR codes work?

Players scan a QR code at each stage of the route. The code opens the next clue, riddle, instruction or story in a mobile browser, so the group can continue without downloading an app.

Can each QR code open a different clue?

Yes. Each QR code can lead to its own Waytale story, challenge or instruction. You can connect the stops in the order players should follow.

Can the escape game be multilingual?

Yes. Players can choose an available language for each step, which makes the same game easier to offer to local and international audiences.

Can I use an existing venue or exhibition?

Yes. QR codes can be placed in an escape room, museum, hotel, city route, park, exhibition or any venue where players move from one clue to the next.
