Truth Seeker’s Remote Adventure
That doll still scares me!
After seeing the Schitt’s Creek escape room episode, I realized I was missing something else during quarantine. I’ve done science fiction to fantasy escape rooms in the past, so when my friend Maggie of Your Money Geek invited me to participate in the Amazon Prime Video’s Truth Seeker’s Remote Adventure I jumped at the chance.
In celebration of the October 30th launch of Truth Seekers on Amazon Prime Video, fans of Nick Frost and Simon Pegg should get ready to embark on a paranormal investigation from the comfort of their homes. From October 23rd through November 18th, Prime Video will be hosting The Truth Seekers Remote Adventure. This 45-minute virtual escape room game will be available to fans around the world to participate in remotely for free in collaboration with The Escape Game. After being confined to our living situations for the better part of this year, Prime Video is excited to give Truth Seekers fans a change of scenery with a thrilling, world-class escape room experience that can be enjoyed from their couches and in their pajamas.
The Truth Seekers Remote Adventure puts players at the center of a thrilling paranormal investigation. Players are enlisted by Elton (Samson Kayo) and Gus (Nick Frost) to help him and the rest of the Truth Seekers restore 6G signal at a museum in Weymouth and recover the artifact causing the disruption. Upon entering The Truth Seekers Remote Adventure, players will be greeted by two team members from The Escape Game: The Host and The Game Guide. The Host will be on the video call with the players and interacts with them throughout the experience, aiding in the flow of the game and giving hints when necessary. The Game Guide is in the game on-location and will be outfitted with a camera and headlamp rigged up to a helmet. They are each team’s eyes, ears, hands, and feet, and will take commands from the players to facilitate solving challenges. A bit more on the mechanics of this can be found in this video example.
Upon embarking on the game, players will enter into a museum filled with paranormal artifacts and other Easter eggs from the show. They’ll discover a hidden door in Dr. Peter Toynbee’s office leading into a heavily protected Praecepta Mortourum. Players will interact with The Truth Seekers as they journey through the museum and experience paranormal events. The game culminates in a fast-paced search for the code to escape danger after players disturb the spirits in the museum by taking the Praecepta Mortuorum off the pedestal. Each team will participate in hopes of reaching safety and officially joining the Truth Seekers team.
Our team got through the mystery within 37 minutes, we are proud to say. I was able to enjoy this interactive experience on my couch during my lunch break. It was a great escape (pun intended) during my monotonous week.
I highly suggest getting a group of friends together to solve the mystery! They have time slots available to the public from Oct. 23 – Nov. 18, so those interested in signing up to embark on this journey can find an opening that accommodates them and their team of investigators at TruthSeekersExperience.com. Let see if you can beat our time!
And be sure to watch Truth Seekers on Amazon Prime, it looks like the kind of spooky we all need right now.
