Origin and concept
An escape game is an immersive recreational activity built around a well-thought-out scenario. The aim? Escape from a location by solving a series of enigmas and collecting clues within a given timeframe. In this life-size game, participants are usually locked in a themed room with enchanting decor.
For the past fifteen years, escape rooms have been invading cities, offering games where you have to lock yourself in a room to get out. More and more escape games are being offered as team-building activities, but the concept has a number of limitations, such as the fact that you can’t often play with more than 6 people, or that you have to play in several rooms, which isn’t optimal for a shared experience between employees. What’s more, the duration is often limited to one hour, and as the rooms are expensive, their decor does not change frequently. It’s also impossible to move an escape room to a seminar venue!
After analyzing all these constraints, we opted for an innovative solution , compatible with indoor and outdoor play, with no limits on players, teams, location or duration: welcome to the world of iQuest!
Principle of the Team Building escape game
Collaboration is the key to success. Everyone is mobilized to take action in a variety of ways: digging, brainstorming, observing, manipulating augmented reality and, above all, sharing ideas! No great victory without great team spirit!
In this sensory and participative experience, everyone contributes to the building of the community as a whole. This entertaining and unusual teamwork experience is an excellent way of fostering social cohesion between work colleagues.
If being cooped up in a dark room isn’t your cup of British tea, no problem: our iQuests can take your employees outdoors to the location of your choice (a public garden, a district of Paris, a park…) or indoors (your premises, your seminar room, a museum…).
The origins of this life-size form of entertainment lie in video games. In other words, escape rooms as we know them today are a physical version of escape video games. The first of these, Crimson Room, was designed in 2003 by Toshimitsu Takagi of Japan. In 2007, Takao Kato drew inspiration from his compatriot to invent the first real-life escape game. He opened Live Rooms Escape, a concept that spread throughout Asia, before reaching Europe and the United States. In France, the concept arrived in Paris in 2013 and spread like wildfire across the country. It was a resounding success. The game appeals to a wide range of audiences, including corporate customers.
Our escape games in Team Building format
We base our digital Escape Game creations on these fundamental principles:
The paper tests, logic games, folding, transparency, the work around paper is not behind you, far from it, moreover it is a coherent medium with teamwork, it is not only the holder of the tablet who participates.
Digital challenges, where chests, machines and other closed doors are transformed into virtual objects using Augmented Reality (e.g.: a code to find, a bomb to defuse, a machine to repair, a transformer to restart…): the objects come to life in front of the players and can be manipulated on the touch-sensitive supports provided.
Digital investigative tools enable teams to challenge each other anywhere (the tablet’s GPS takes teams to the scene of the event).
Places are also part of the game, holding clues or solutions in the secrecy of their stones or their art. From the most unusual to the most magical, they transpose the game and the players to the most beautiful places in Paris and the Ile de France!

Black Out, save the 2024 Games
An organized crime gang has carried out a cyber attack to cause a general power failure. The hackers’ objective? To plunge the city into a total blackout and general panic. No transport, no shops, no networks, no broadcasts of major sporting events – the last straw! To avoid catastrophe, there’s only one solution: counter the hacking. Your team will have to act with the utmost confidentiality, using your high-tech tablet to thwart the obstacles in your path.
Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to prevent the world from descending into chaos, thanks to augmented reality 4.0. To thwart the hackers, you’ll need to work with your team (3 to 6 players).
By solving puzzles on your iPad, you bring the city’s hacked electrical nodes back under your control, but that’s not all. You’ll also have to find and switch on the emergency generator remotely, in just 1 hour 30 minutes! Whether you’re working indoors or out, you can count on the support and expertise of our agents to accompany you on this perilous mission.
Operation Mindfall Outdoor: the 007 escape game
The criminal organization SPIDER TECH has hacked into the international communications system. To foil this hack within the allotted time, the secret global intelligence agency W.I.S.E. is calling on its best people: you and your colleagues. And to accomplish your mission with flying colors, you’ve got a gadget that’s up to the task: a geo-tagged tablet.
The touch-sensitive tablet is an essential digital guide for taking part in this adventure. This connected, GPS-enabled tool enables your team (4 to 6 teammates) to complete stages, puzzles and mini-games, as well as collect clues and open virtual chests in augmented reality.
Operation Mindfall Outdoor is sure to provide a unique experience thanks to:
Our interactive 3D augmented reality challenges.
Our ability to involve up to 3,000 employees simultaneously.
Our 100% customizable format (duration, location, distance to be covered, level of difficulty of the enigmas, etc.)
Like you, the CBR Team Building team knows how to challenge itself to offer you this investigation in different locations. We’ll meet you near your seminar venue, in the city center (e.g. Cannes, Bordeaux, Lyon, Nice, Paris, Poitiers, etc.) or even indoors. But that’s another story…
Operation Mindfall Indoor
SPIDER TECH has released a dangerous virus into the drinking water network. To counter this infamous attack, the international agency W.I.S.E. is calling on the cream of its crop of agents. Along with other colleagues, you’ll be mobilized to save the world from contamination. Using your tablet and the clues distilled by agent Laura Hunt, you avoid the traps set by the enemy and work out an antidote… Before it’s too late, of course!
Operation Mindfall Indoor is an innovative Team Building game for 3 major reasons:
An unprecedented number of participants. This multiplayer escape game can accommodate up to 3,000 participants simultaneously and indoors (meeting room, company premises, etc.)
Simple, efficient organization: 1 table, 1 team, 1 hour. Your employees, divided into several groups of 3 to 6 people, save the world by exploring the streets of London… while still having a meal!
A unique and highly topical format. This activity combining investigation and augmented reality immediately draws players into the adventure. Our work has been rewarded! This original creation won the Heavent Festival Awards innovation prize at the trade show for innovation and event creation professionals.
Green Alert: the interactive treasure hunt to save the climate
In teams of 3 to 6 participants equipped with a GPS-enabled tablet, you connect the various points along the route. At each stage, a climate-related challenge awaits you: a mini-game, a riddle, a safe to unlock, a mechanism to foil, an observation question. All with a sprinkling of enchantment, thanks to Augmented Reality, which transforms your climatic challenges into 3 dimensions before your amazed eyes!
This animation allows you to understand and retain 5 essential facts about climate change, and with your colleagues to advance the climate cause while strolling through the city center or anywhere else!
This interactive, immersive game is also a great opportunity to (re)discover heritage sites in the Paris region and beyond (e.g. Sceaux, Lyon, Deauville, etc.). The length of the game can also be adjusted to suit your preferences and the defined play area.
Mission iTuk, electric Tuk Tuk adventure
Thwarting traps, dialing codes and opening safes using paper and digital media – that’s what this escape game is all about, to achieve your goal of saving the world in record time with the help of your teammates, aboard your electric Tuk Tuk.
The Tuk Tuk driver leads the team around Paris (2 circuits available: Left Bank and Right Bank) to solve the challenges.
