Portable Escape Games for All Types of Events

What if you could play an escape game anywhere? Cryptic Cargo offers the world’s first truly portable, self-guided escape room experience. Our concept combines a fully ready-to-play escape game with its props and a mobile app. Our award-winning concept makes the escape room experience easily accessible while being just as exciting as traditional escape rooms.

The games can be set up easily anywhere – whether it’s an office, meeting room, living room, cabin, restaurant, or even a blanket in the middle of the forest. Cryptic Cargo’s mobile app makes playing easy and immersive. Welcome to the future of escape games!

Cryptic Cargo is a Finnish pioneer in portable escape room games and has been operating in the industry since 2017.

Entertaining Group Activity for Parties and Team Building

Real-life escape games are puzzle games based on logical problem-solving, where players get to step into the role of the action hero, solving an exciting mystery. Escape games are not only a popular pastime but also excellent for group bonding and team building.

The activity offers challenges that require intelligence and teamwork, uniting participants. Our escape games are designed to take players to entirely new dimensions, as the thrilling tasks under time pressure stimulate the mind in an intense, story-driven game challenge.

An escape room in a suitcase

The Cryptic Cargo escape game suitcase is portable, and includes everything needed for a full-fledged escape room experience. In practice this means physical items, locks and containers like in any other escape room. The items are ready for you as you receive them, just open the bag and play! If you want to add extra immersion, you can also place the game items to your preferred game area before the game.

The games work perfectly as a team building activity, program for a pre-Christmas party, bachelor or bachelorette party or why not a birthday party!

 

The app

The Cryptic Cargo escape room app functions as a dashboard for anything and everything needed for a great escape game experience. It provides the players with a changing soundscape, a timer and interactive clues and tasks. With the app, the players get hints whenever they feel like they need them as well as instructions on how to play, and how to build the game up again if needed. With the app, it is possible to even change the settings of the game and choose to play the way you want!

The app is available in English and Finnish.

Our players say

An ingenious game

The game offers a challenge and makes the players hooked so that one doesn’t even feel the need for a physical room. Perfect for an evening with friends or colleagues! 

Maija, 35 years

Effing thrilling

I can’t even describe how enstein we felt when we solved some of the puzzles! The game had a great combination of different kinds of problems to solve. 

Mattias, 30 years

Great even for a first-timer

As a first-timer I felt it was really nice that there was so much to do during the game. The first puzzles went completely over my head, but I learned a lot
while playing and by the end I had managed to solve several by myself and feel accomplished.

Cryptic Cargo escape room games can be played on any surface, so they are ideal options for the disabled.

Cryptic Cargo has been played by everything from Escape Room first-timers to seasoned veterans, and has been universally liked by all.
