Each room has its own story, cast, soundtrack and evidence files. Both run for about 30 minutes, plus a story intro.

Room 01 · Cyber forensics

Vanguard: Breach Protocol

It's your first day at a cyber-security firm. You read your emails, finish a report — and then a former employee tears the building open from the inside. The core is being stolen and the AI running the building has been locked out. She can break the encryption one layer at a time, if you feed her the right answers.

Staff badges The terminal is fussy about whose ID it trusts
Door logs Someone on the inside let him in
CCTV A van on the harbour road, if the footage can be trusted
City map Follow the trail down to the water
Newspaper A secret hiding in the headlines
Port manifest Something in a container isn't on the paperwork
The kill switch One last test, against the clock

Room 02 · Deep-sea survival

Crush Depth: Station Nereid

Your first rotation on a research station six kilometres under the Pacific. A quake floods the lab, the crew launch the escape pod without you, and the scrubbers die. Thirty minutes of air, one automated voice for company, and a way up that needs power, a radio and a very careful sum.

Breaker panel The lab is flooding and the power is failing
Radio Someone up top might still hear you
Sonar The escape pod is out there somewhere
Hull knocking You are not alone down here
Life support The air is running out faster than you thought
The Bell One last launch, against the clock

Buy it, redeem it, play it.

Buy

You get a licence key by email straight away. One key unlocks one room (or both, with the bundle).

Redeem

Enter the key on the play page and pick a leaderboard name. A key works on one device and can only be redeemed once.

Play

It runs in Chrome or Edge. Beat the room and your time goes on the leaderboard. If you run out of time, your next attempt is free.

Every attempt is different

Each attempt generates new numbers, a new culprit and new answers, so a retry never repeats the same case.

Hints, not hand-holding

Stuck teams can ask for a nudge. It costs them time, and it never just gives away the answer.

Race the world

Every room has its own leaderboard, ranked by time, with a penalty for wrong answers.

One price. No subscription.

Pay once, get a key, play until you beat the room. No subscription and no per-attempt fee.

Before you buy.

Can I play it on my phone or tablet?

Yes. The rooms work on phones, tablets, laptops and desktops. They are best on a laptop or desktop, because the documents and consoles are easier to read on a bigger screen, so a laptop is recommended if you have one. Buying on your phone and redeeming the emailed key later on a laptop works fine too.

What do I need to run it?

A phone, tablet, laptop or desktop with a modern browser (Chrome or Edge recommended) and sound turned on. Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebooks, Android and iPhone all work, but a laptop gives the best experience. One screen everyone can see is ideal — a TV or projector works well too.

How is it delivered, and what about refunds?

Your licence key is emailed instantly after payment. Access is delivered immediately, so the usual 14-day cooling-off period does not apply once you have redeemed a key. But if a room will not run on your device, email me within 14 days and I will refund you.

Do I need the internet to play?

Yes. The rooms run in your browser but are served online, which is what powers the leaderboard and keeps your key tied to one device. A normal home connection is plenty. The narration uses the voices built into your device.

Do I have to print anything?

No. Everything, including every document, is on screen.

How many people can play?

One to six around a single screen. Three or four is the sweet spot: enough eyes for the documents, few enough that everyone gets a turn.

How long does it take?

Each room is a 30-minute timer, plus roughly five to ten minutes of story and setup before the clock starts. Allow about 45 minutes in total.

Can we play it more than once?

Every attempt is a freshly generated case: different numbers, a different culprit, different answers. If time runs out, or you leave and come back, you get a new case for free. Once you beat a room it is complete and your time is on the leaderboard.

Can we play with friends on a video call?

Yes. One person opens the room and shares their screen, and everyone calls out answers while one person types them in. All narration also appears as text on screen, so nobody misses it.

What age is it for?

Best for about 12 and up. The puzzles involve careful reading, arithmetic and cross-referencing documents. Younger players have a great time as part of a team.

What if we get completely stuck?

There is a built-in hint button that nudges without giving the answer away, at the cost of time. If the clock beats you, the next attempt is free.

Can someone deaf or hard of hearing play?

Yes. All narration is also printed on screen as text. Crush Depth has one puzzle based on knocking sounds. If you cannot hear them, email me and I will help.
