A magician themed escape room!
Description
We have worked closely with Escape, the largest escape room provider in the UK on several projects and our latest game was this magician based game.
The room centres around being part of the famed magicians show but when his grand finalé appears to have a more sinister twist the teams must race to solve the magical challenges ahead.
Boundless Workshop developed the core puzzle elements for this game, including a special twist that makes for a tense last five minutes!

Thales Interactive cyber security plinths
Description
Thales and the NDEC in South Wales approached Boundless Workshop looking for a fun and interactive way to encourage young people to consider a career in cyber security. Whagt we came up with was a totally unique set of four interactive plinths, each of which focussed on a different element or skill.
The four plinths were:
- Signal Boost – A 3D map of the Welsh valleys where teams need to locate a lost team member by positioning the satellites
- Office Security – Teams take on the role of scanning the companies networks for suspicious activity. When the system flags an issue to the teams they have to use all the available resources to decide if they should escalate or allow the threat.
- Energetic Exercise – Teams need to work together and follow the rules of the electricity grid to successfully deliver all of the power requirements of the three towns on the board.
- Network Training – The Welsh train network has been hacked and the teams need to take back control of the signal points before working together to navigate the trains safely back to the stations using the different switches and buttons.

Boundless Workshop have been fantastic from start to finish; managing the whole process for us from concept and design, to delivery and set-up. They have built some amazing games that are better than we imagined possible, and their experience allowed them to make practical suggestions to us, which meant all of our requirements were fulfilled. We will be using Boundless again in the future no doubt.
