Hidden Secrets: Escape PRELUDE is a NEW and UNIQUE type of game - something like a dynamic puzzle book, mobile Escape Room, Armchair Treasure Hunt! Immerse yourself in a mystery as you try to pinpoint the hidden treasure location.
NOTE: ESCAPE PRELUDE is a pre-story to a larger adventure, Hidden Secrets: Escape In Time - launching soon and awarding cash prizes!
Gameplay:
You find a timeworn journal containing just one curious page. Pages are scattered throughout your neighborhood for you to find:
* Go outside to seek the missing journal page pieces.
* Play interactive games to capture them - like Collect Gems, Run the Maze, Pick the Lock.
* Piece together the journal page pieces.
* Follow the mysterious story - a hand-illustrated and scripted journal.
* Solve the journal puzzle. Youll need a pen and paper to help solve the cryptogram, cipher, number, word, or logic style puzzles.
The journal pages contain clues to the location of the final treasure - look for numbers, letters, and/or images that appear strange or out-of-place. Only after you’ve solved the final (7th) journal page and unlocked the virtual world map may you make your best treasure location guess(es).
Fun for everyone!
