Remote escape games for companies

Engaging activities for remote events, team days, and hybrid teams

Physical distance or remote work doesn't mean you have to miss out on shared experiences.

If you are looking for something to do for a remote event, team day, or virtual recreation day, a remote escape game offers an engaging alternative to passive screen-based programming. The game gives the team a shared mission where participants solve puzzles, find clues, and collaborate in real time — even if everyone is joining from different locations.

Our primary remote escape game is currently our hacker-themed game, IllegAI, which is designed to run smoothly even when played entirely remotely.

In addition, some of our physical games can be delivered to different locations simultaneously, allowing teams working in different offices to participate in a shared event side-by-side.

Remote activities are perfect for events such as remote team days, international teams, hybrid events, kick-offs, virtual recreation days, and multi-office events.

How does a remote team day activity work?

In the IllegAI remote escape game, participants join a shared game from their own computer or other device.

Teams solve challenges together by discussing and collaborating in real time. During the game, participants combine information, search for clues, and try to stop an ongoing data breach before time runs out.

During the game, participants:

  • constantly talk to each other
  • share observations
  • look for solutions together
  • make decisions under time pressure

The most important thing is not technical skill, but collaboration, communication, and collective problem-solving.

Escape game materials that can be delivered to multiple locations for a hybrid event

A shared event across multiple locations

Not all remote implementations mean a completely digital game.

For some events, our physical games can be sent to multiple locations simultaneously, allowing teams in different cities, for example, to participate in a shared event at the same time.

This works particularly well for companies with multiple offices, hybrid teams, simultaneous team events in different cities, and international organizations.

This way, even a more physical escape game experience can be delivered to a distributed team without everyone having to travel to the same location.

Why does an engaging activity like an escape game work for a remote team day?

In remote work, shared moments can easily become few and far between.

In many virtual events, participants easily end up passively watching the program through a screen. In a virtual escape game, however, people are actively involved the entire time.

When teams try to solve tasks together:

  • conversation flows naturally
  • collaboration increases
  • people get to know each other better
  • the atmosphere quickly becomes more relaxed

Many are surprised by how quickly the game draws the whole team in, even remotely.

In hybrid organizations especially, a virtual team game works well when you want to create a shared experience for people who don't normally work in the same place.

Easy to join from anywhere

The remote sessions are designed to be as easy as possible to join.

In most cases, all you need to participate is:

  • a computer or mobile device
  • internet connection
  • a video conferencing platform such as Teams or Zoom

IllegAI runs in your browser, so no separate downloads or complex installations are required.

This makes the experience seamless for international teams, hybrid organizations, participants working from different locations, and busy organizations that want an easy-to-arrange event.

Remote team day programs for small and large groups

The sessions can be tailored for very different types of groups.

A remote escape game is perfect for small expert teams, company-wide events, international organizations, training day programs, virtual kick-offs, and remote team building days.

Participants are usually divided into smaller teams so that everyone can take an active part. We can help with the breakout groups, or you can organize them yourselves in whatever way works best for your organization.

Multiple teams can play simultaneously, which also makes it possible to accommodate larger groups.

More relaxed collaboration, even remotely

Remote escape games work particularly well in situations where you want to bring people together without an overly formal atmosphere.

When a shared task takes center stage, conversation quickly becomes more natural, and people start collaborating much more easily than in a standard online meeting.

That is why an engaging remote activity is a great way to help new employees get to know each other, bring international teams together, facilitate hybrid organization events, and build team spirit in a relaxed way.
