I had a blast participating in this experience! The hosts were really great. They kept us moving while also creating a lot of fun energy along the way. They made it quick and easy to jump in to this during the middle of a work day to have fun with colleagues. Would do this again! Thank you!

Senior UX Researcher

We had an absolutely amazing experience with this team! Everything was remarkable. Our host, Allyssa, was simply extraordinary — engaging, enthusiastic and funny. She made the entire experience so much more immersive and enjoyable. I genuinely didn’t expect it to be this interesting and entertaining, especially for an online format. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fun and unique way to connect with friends/ coworkers/ family. <3

Arina N.
Client Manager

The host team that ran the escape room were funny and engaging. I loved that they were all dressed up. The escape room games were interesting and challenging. My team isn't the best at participation and the hosts did a great job encouraging folks to join in and have fun. Thank you so much for a great team building event!! I will definitely recommend Escape Spy Island to others.

This was the most fun I have had in quite some time. It was amazing to have people from all over participating. I look forward to future events. Thank you so much for all you did for us and making it an amazing experience.

Our work social virtual escape room was so much fun! The puzzles were clever, the experience was engaging, and our host Anita was amazing and supportive. It was the perfect team bonding activity, and we’re already excited to do it again! Highly recommend!

Elin B.
Financial Crime Specialist

Runaway Games did a great job hosting the Jeoparty event and going above and beyond. Even with some last minute adjustments as our team had a few people no-show, they still brought the energy and put on a very interactive and engaging event to celebrate the holiday season!

Scott W.
ECP IT Analyst

The activity we had was incredibly creative and a lot of fun! It was the perfect way to step away from our day-to-day work and recharge. Everything ran smoothly. Thanks to the hosts, the instructions were clear and easy to follow, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was an absolute blast!

Ana G.
Technical Project Manager

Really great event to host for friends near and far! What a nice way to add Feud into our daily routines and the each and every host was simply amazing and funny! Thank you all for what you do!

Fantastic Team-Building Experience! Escape Alcatraz was a brilliant way to bring our team together. The puzzles were fun and challenging, and the whole experience was immersive and well-organized. It really encouraged teamwork and communication, and we had a great time from start to finish. Highly recommended for any group looking for a fun and effective bonding activity!

Still Have Questions?

What is Runaway Games?

We are part game studio, part team building company. We’re the company you call when your team wants to have fun together for an hour, and it needs to be done virtually. There it is, that’s our company in two sentences :)

What is the difference between a Hosted Game and an On-Demand Game?

Hosted Games are run by our Hosts aka REAL PEOPLE who will join your game virtually (ie. on Zoom, Google Meet, etc.)! If you’re playing a Game Show or one of our Mini-Game Challenges, they’ll be the Host & Co-Host of the game. If you’re playing one of our escape rooms, they’ll either be a slightly corrupt Warden, a Yeoman’s Warder, a Spy, an Elf…you get the idea. These Hosts, who are highly experienced team building extraordinaires and hype men/women, are part of the experience of each game we make and are there to guide your team and make sure they have an incredible experience in the time you’re with us.

Our On-Demand Games do not have a Host. These games will require you to run them yourself (of course, with comprehensive instructions provided on how to do so!) via the game code that we’ll provide to you upon checkout. But don’t worry, our Live Chat is monitored by our team 24x7 in case you have any questions or issues with your game! Our On-Demand Games are priced lower than their equivalent Hosted Game to give us something to offer everyone at different price points :D

Do you really accept reservations 24/7/365 in all timezones for your Hosted Games?

Actually, yes we do. We operate our business with one simple philosophy - we will be able to run games for clients at any time, any day, and in any timezone that they want, period. This means that no matter how many participants you have or how obscure your timezone is, we will always accept your reservation!

Because of that, we have over 100 Hosts on staff, and would you believe that we even employ a team whose sole job is to find new people that we think would make amazing Hosts and train them to facilitate as many of the different games that we have as possible!

Do your Hosts speak any languages other than English?

Yes! We can assign you Hosts that speak English, Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, Bahasa Melayu/Indonesia, French, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Tagalog or Ukrainian! If you would like a non-English speaking host, you can request this at the checkout page. However, please do note that all of our game content is currently only available in English and Spanish.

If there's an issue, how can I get in touch with you?

Please feel free to call us at +1 415 800 3157 or chat with us via the chat icon on the bottom right corner of this webpage. Those lines of communication will get you directly in touch with someone that can help! We will entertain cold callers, but beware that we may also try to pitch you a virtual team building activity when you call :D
