Create an online escape room

Draw your puzzle tree

An In-Evasion escape room is built like a tree. Each step holds what players see (text, pictures, sounds, videos, links) and one or more codes that open it. You link the steps together: solving one unlocks the next.

Keep it simple and straight, or build branches. A crossroads offers several paths, and only one stays open once chosen. A dead end traps players who rush. Easter eggs, codes hidden outside the tree, reward the curious ones.

Hints, credits and difficulty

For each step, prepare hints in levels, from a gentle nudge to a near-solution. Teams earn credits as they progress and spend them on hints. You set the price of each one, and choose whether they arrive on their own or a game master approves every request.

Need a coded message? In-Evasion’s tools encode a text in Caesar, Vigenère, Morse, A1Z26 or pigpen in seconds, ready to paste into a step.

Test, publish, open the game

Before publishing, play your game in test mode: you go through the tree as a player would, without leaving a trace in the statistics. The Studio also flags problems: a step nobody can reach, a missing code, a forgotten translation.

Once published, the game opens with one click or at a scheduled time. Players arrive with a six-letter code, a link or a QR code. Choose whether it shows in the public catalogue or only people with the link can join.

Run it live, like a real game master

During the game, the GM console shows every team, its progress and its board live. You answer hint requests, moderate the chat and can invite other game masters with tailored permissions.

When it closes, the full solution is revealed with each team’s time and the leaderboard. Players rate your game and leave a review, and the statistics show where they got stuck: plenty to improve the next version.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Everything happens in the Studio, with the mouse: you write your texts, add your files and link the steps. Not a single line of code.

Does creating an escape room cost anything?

No. Today, creating, hosting and playing are free, with no credit card.

Can I add my own pictures and sounds?

Yes. You can upload pictures, sounds and videos, up to 10 MB per game. Pictures are optimised automatically.

Can my game be played in several languages?

Yes. You can translate the title, the texts, the hints and even the codes into the site’s seven languages. Each player picks their own.
