About the Game:
A broken simulation. A scrambled message. And your team — locked inside a collapsing digital vault.
Decode to Survive is SHOWMAKER’s signature virtual escape room — a high-octane, puzzle-packed thriller where teams must race against the clock to crack riddles, decode symbols, and escape before the system shuts down.
You won’t just need sharp minds — you’ll need sharper teamwork. From fast-paced brain teasers to visual codebreakers, every moment tests how well your team communicates, adapts, and trusts under digital pressure. The ultimate “Aha!” game, brought alive by dynamic live hosts and real-time leaderboard suspense.
If your remote teams are craving connection and challenge, this one’s a no-brainer. (Actually, scratch that — you’ll need every brain firing.)
