Walking in Helsinki, you can spot a lot of old symbols. Some of them form a secret code, opening a long forgotten, amazing message.

Your team is approached by a researcher, who needs the help of code-cracking experts to reveal the secret message. The symbol hunt takes you on a walk through the Southern parts of Helsinki and would be quite pleasant, if it wasn’t for the increasing danger that is looming along the route. Who is it that really wants the code, and for what? During the hunt, the mission gets more complex…

To aid you on the mission, you will get a file with some important items and an iPad to guide you on your way.

The game can also be played competing with other teams. Which team is the first to crack the Helsinki Code?

The age recommendation for this game is 12+. Note, that at least one of the players must be over 16 years old.

 

Booking instructions:
Outdoor games are booked per team instead of by the number of players, and each team can consist of 2-6 players. If you want to book one game, add one slot to your cart. The calendar’s “1 player” indicates one game, and there is no option to select the number of players for outdoor games.
For example, if you have 6 players but want to compete in two teams, select 2 games. In this case, make the booking by selecting the same time slot twice and adding it to your cart.
For bookings involving more than two teams, please contact us via email at contact@escaperoom.fi.
