Paniq Virtual Escape Rooms
Another hosted virtual escape room operator, run over video by a live game master. Useful as a second quote when the room or time slot you wanted is already booked.
About This Game
Paniq runs physical escape rooms in several cities and offers a virtual version played remotely with a live game master over a video call. The format matches the other hosted option on this list: your group never installs anything, the host is your hands inside the room, and you pay per booking rather than per player.
Its practical value on a shortlist is availability. Hosted escape rooms sell out at the times remote teams actually want — Thursday and Friday afternoons — so having a second operator to quote against the first is worth more than any feature comparison. Room themes, group-size tiers and prices are set by the operator and change, so treat the booking page as the source of truth. OPG does not host, resell or take bookings for this.
How to Play
Check availability
Open Paniq's virtual escape rooms page and look for a slot that fits your group's timezone spread.
Book and confirm the tier
Booking is per group. Confirm the group-size tier and price at checkout rather than assuming.
Join the call
Everyone joins on the day — no installs, no accounts, just the meeting link.
Solve through your host
A live game master explores the room on your instructions and gives hints when you stall.
Tips & Strategy
- Get a quote here and from The Escape Game — hosted room pricing is not standardised.
- Ask about the maximum group size before you invite the whole team.
- Book earlier than you think: end-of-week afternoon slots go first.
- Confirm the host language if your team is spread across regions.
