Solving the fast-paced challenges of murder mysteries, life-threating projects and stolen jewels of HintHunt’s Online Escape Games will require the wits of every team member.

Clue: 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 one of HintHunt’s two Online Escape Games – Detective Mystery and Framed!. 

PLAY DETECTIVE AND SAVE THE WORLD

In Detective Mystery you’ll need to understand that the black market is a rabbit hole of priceless objects and valuable goods.

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!

YOU’VE BEEN FRAMED!

In Framed! the police are eager to find the murderer who's terrorizing the town. Right now, you're their lead suspect.

With a limited amount of time to prove your innocence, you need to secure your freedom by finding three vital pieces of evidence: the murder weapon, the motive, and the murderer. Can you save yourself or fall guilty of a crime you didn't commit?
