Mystery Room: Death in Heels – Kuolema koroissa

When

2016-2018

Where

Mysteeri Jyväskylä

What

Death in Heels was an experimental mystery game, where we tried to introduce the concept of Mystery Rooms to the market. The goal was to detact escape rooms from the idea of escaping and instead encourage players to reveal the mystery (= the murderer). We provided the players with clues in the form of interrogations videos and combined this with normal escape room mechanics. The project was not successfull, as the market was only starting to learn about escape rooms and the concept was too similar to an escape room.
