This is one of our online escape games — played entirely over a video call, with your team sharing one screen and working through case files, photos, and witness statements together. No app to install and nothing to buy beyond the game itself.
A priceless painting vanished from a locked gallery case during a 90-second blackout, and three people were in the room when the lights went out. Your team plays the investigators — read the case file, cross-check alibis, and spot the one detail that gives the thief away.
Cold Case works well for remote teams, friend groups spread across different cities, or anyone who wants to try an escape game without visiting Funchal in person. It runs for a small team, similarly to our physical rooms, and is priced per team rather than per player.
Book a time slot, get your team on a video call, and follow the link we send you — that’s the entire setup. If you’d rather play in person, this same puzzle-writing team also built our physical rooms, Prison, Nuthouse, and Hannibal, in Funchal, Madeira.
Book online for your team, or see our FAQ page for general booking details. This is one of two online escape games we currently offer, alongside Vacancy: Room 313.
Cold Case: The Gallery Theft is a medium-difficulty online escape game that runs about 25 minutes — shorter than our physical rooms, making it easy to fit into a lunch break or a quick team activity.
Instead of physical locks and props, everything happens on screen — case files, photos, and documents your team examines together, guided by the same style of puzzle logic that runs through our in-person rooms.
Companies with distributed teams often book Cold Case as a way to get colleagues collaborating on something other than a normal call — the shared deadline does a lot of the work that a standard virtual meeting can’t.
Guests who’ve played both our physical rooms and this online game tell us the writing and puzzle logic feel consistent — it doesn’t feel like a watered-down version of the real thing.
A laptop with a webcam, a stable internet connection, and a video call app your team already uses is all it takes to play — we don’t require any specific platform.
Cold Case works best for small teams, similar to the group size of our physical rooms, though larger groups can split into multiple teams and compare results afterwards.
If you’re planning a trip to Madeira and want a preview of what Cryptic Room is about, Cold Case is a low-commitment way to try our puzzle style before booking a physical room.
Book Cold Case: The Gallery Theft today and see if your team can name the thief before time runs out.
Like all our online games, Cold Case is priced per team rather than per player, which keeps the cost predictable regardless of how many people join the call.
Whether it is a lunch break or a planned team event, Cold Case fits into a schedule easily.
Like every good escape room, this online game is built around a story, a deadline, and puzzles worth solving.
