Become a creator
Create the escape game of your city
A square, a puzzle, a code: write a trail through your neighbourhood or an adventure to play at home. The editor builds the clues, tells you what is missing and lets you test before publishing.
The creation studio
Your city becomes a game. You write the rules.
No need to be a game designer: the editor builds the clues, tells you what is missing before you publish and lets you play your game in the browser.
-
Set the playing field
Draw the play area on the map, or choose a game to play at home.
-
Write the stages
By hand, or from a first draft the AI writes from your brief.
-
Build the clues
Layers, dials, ciphers, sounds: the editor composes them for you from your code.
-
Test, then publish
Play your game in the browser, then open it to everyone or keep it private with a password.
- Free to create
- Rehearsal before publishing
- Public or private game
- Stage-by-stage statistics
What the player reads
Digits move too, otherwise “4071” would stay readable. You hide the shift in another clue: an engraved date, a stopped clock.
8 types of clue
- Image A photo, a document, a map.
- Text A letter, a note to read.
- Sound A voice, a sound to identify.
- Layers to overlay Two images to overlay.
- Image to reveal An image to light up with a finger.
- Encrypted message A text to decipher.
- Image with hotspots An image to explore with a finger.
- Dial to turn Two discs to turn.
And each stage is solved with…
- Numeric code
- Alphanumeric code
- QR Code
- Directional lock
- Symbol lock
- Geolocation

Choose how you publish
Two formats to match your needs and your audience
Public games
Share your creations with the whole community and build your reputation as a creator.
Ideal for:
- Showcasing your talent
- Getting constructive feedback
- Building a community
Private games
Create exclusive experiences for specific groups with controlled access. Set a price for your game: players buy it, and you track your sales from your dashboard.
Ideal for:
- Private or corporate events
- Exclusive premium content
- Testing with a small group
Sell your game and get paid
You set the price, players pay you directly, and the money lands in your bank account.
Your payment account
Connect your Stripe account in a few minutes from your dashboard. It is the account that receives the payments: we never hold your money, and you track your payouts from your own Stripe space.
Paid game
Set a price on your game from its information sheet. Players pay by card before playing, access opens automatically once the payment goes through, and the sale is credited to your account.
Access codes for groups
Generate batches of codes for a company, a class or a client, and export them as CSV. Each code unlocks access without going through online payment.
What you earn on every sale
The platform takes 25% of the listed price: hosting, the mobile app, moderation and promoting your game. Card fees are withheld by Stripe from the payment.
- Price paid by the player 10,00 €
- Escape Game City commission (25%) − 2,50 €
- Stripe card fees − 0,40 €
- What you receive 7,10 €
A verified payment account is required to publish a paid game: without it, we would have no way to pass your sales on to you. Free games require no setup at all.
