Play online, outdoor and Amazing Race escape games

Crack codes and solve riddles to escape with your team

Fight to inherit your fortune in a mansion, online. Sprint through the V&A Waterfront collecting vital clues, or use augmented reality and GPS technology to decipher the codes of a powerful tech lab in a location of your choice.

HintHunt’s Amazing Race, outdoor and online escape-room experiences are exhilarating, be it at home, in the park or playing around town.

BRING THE ESCAPE ROOM CHALLENGE HOME 

As the world has changed, with teams working from home offices and family and friends scattered around the world, HintHunt’s Online Escape Room Game has grown.

The advantage of the online escape game is that you can play from anywhere, and still feel connected to your friends and colleagues as you put your heads together to find clues over a collaborative video call.

Solving the fast-paced challenges of HintHunt’s Online Escape Game will require the wits of every team member.

Tip: The difficulty level of each escape room increases if you underestimate the ability of your teammates. Everyone, from the hotshot CEO to the bright-eyed intern, has a vital role to play in figuring out the clues in HintHunt’s Online Escape Game, Cold Case. 

INHERIT YOUR FORTUNE 

In Cold Case, you’ll have to explore a mansion for clues in order to inherit your fortune.  

You’ll have access to important evidence for you and your team (1 - 5 people) to piece the puzzle together and solve the case. Head’s up: you’re on the clock. Take too long, and your window of opportunity closes. Go!

SUPERIMPOSE YOURSELF IN AN AUGMENTED REALITY 

There are other escape gaming options if you want to play face-to-face. Take the challenges outside for HintHunt’s Amazing Race. You and a team of up to 40 people need to sprint around the V&A Waterfront finding crucial clues along scenic routes (first clue: The beautiful sites are a distraction! Focus on the task at hand to win).  

Or in HintHunt’s Outdoor Escape Games – Magic Portal and Operation Mindfall – you can use augmented reality and GPS technology to find clues and solve riddles. These exciting outdoor experiences are tricky and great to do with the kids no matter where you are.

There are more options in the Mobile Experiences – Rogue and Operation Mindfall – which can include up to 100 people and use an indoor or outdoor location of your choice. 

Many teams pick the original live escape games, played at the Watershed in the V&A Waterfront, inside decadently-themed escape rooms. They are exhilarating experiences: Think Mission Impossible meets 30 Seconds. 

You need one smartphone and data per team of 2 - 4 players. Image: HintHunt Africa
