Not every event needs an off-the-shelf solution; sometimes the best event is one built specifically for a certain location, theme, audience, or brand.
Cryptic Cargo designs custom game concepts and event experiences for companies, event organizers, and special occasions where you want to offer participants something truly different.
Custom solutions can include, for example:
The goal isn't just to provide entertainment, but to create an experience that makes your event truly memorable.
Customized concepts are particularly well-suited for events where you want to stand out from standard programming, build a uniquely strong shared experience, and utilize the venue creatively. A tailored solution activates participants exactly as desired and creates talking points long after the event.
Our solutions can be built for a wide variety of environments and event styles.
Games can serve as:
Each project is designed according to the event's goals, participants, and environment.
Customization can include, for example:
In some projects, we build a completely new concept from scratch. In others, we adapt existing games and mechanics to suit the event.
The Isosaari Gold Rush was built as an adventurous outdoor escape game where participants moved around the Isosaari area, solving tasks based on the island's history and searching for clues in their surroundings.
The implementation combined:
In the Gold Rush, the venue wasn't just a backdrop for the game—it was a central part of the experience itself.
The "Claws of Fear" event game, created for Korkeasaari Zoo’s Kissojen Yö 2023, was designed to fit the event's theme and elevate the visitor experience. Event attendees were able to participate in the game at no extra cost.
We built an engaging and accessible experience that suited a wide range of visitors and enhanced the overall atmosphere of the event.
In this custom concept, participants took on the role of felines surviving in a dangerous environment by solving tasks built into the room. The project was designed as part of the event space and as a continuous experience, allowing multiple groups to participate simultaneously throughout the event.
The 15-minute bomb-defusal-themed escape game stations created for Sexhibition 2025 were built on the mezzanine at the Cable Factory as fast-paced, accessible experiences that worked perfectly in a high-traffic event environment. The game brought an exciting activity to the event that stood out from the rest of the programming and was free for attendees.
In a trade show or event environment, the following were particularly important:
Escape game stations encouraged visitors to stop, participate, and experience something new at the event.
Gamification, and escape games in particular, activate participants in a completely different way than passive programming.
When people get to solve, explore, discuss, compete, and collaborate, an event becomes much more engaging and memorable. Games are also an excellent way to support learning.
Custom solutions allow us to build an experience that truly reflects your event or brand.
