The Blackwood Hotel has been closed since 1987, the year a bride vanished on her wedding night. Your livestream was supposed to end at the lobby doors. Instead, they locked at midnight. Solve what the hotel left behind, or join its register.

Vacancy: Room 313 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 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. If you’d rather play in person, the same team behind this game 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 Cold Case: The Gallery Theft.
Vacancy: Room 313 is a medium-difficulty online escape game that runs about 25 minutes, similar in length to Cold Case — a good fit for a lunch break or a short team session.
Everything happens on screen instead of with physical props — documents, photos, and clues your team works through together, written with the same puzzle logic behind our in-person rooms.
Distributed teams often book Vacancy: Room 313 as a way to get colleagues actively collaborating rather than passively sitting on a normal video call — the shared deadline changes the dynamic completely.
Guests who’ve played both our physical rooms and this online game consistently tell us the story and puzzle quality feel the same — a real game, not a simplified version of one.
A laptop with a webcam, a stable internet connection, and a video call app your team already uses is all it takes — no specific platform required on our end.
Vacancy: Room 313 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, Vacancy: Room 313 is a low-commitment way to try our puzzle style online before booking one of our physical escape rooms.
Like all our online games, Vacancy: Room 313 is priced per team rather than per player, which keeps the cost predictable regardless of how many people join the call.
