HintHunt

HintHunt is a real life escape game, located in many countries around the world. The brand is known for being among the first companies to introduce this concept in Western Europe, in 2012 in London.

Historical

HintHunt is a project which was invented by two Hungarians, Atti and Csaba, in 2012. At the time, the concept was growing in Budapest, but was still unknown in Western Europe.

The very first facility was opened in North London (St. Pancras Station) in spring 2012. The activity became the number one attraction on the Tripadvisor ranking in May 2013, ahead of traditional activities in London.

The brand started to develop outside of the UK, with two new facilities that opened in 2013 in Paris and Cape Town, before two others opened in 2014 in Moscow and Dubai. In these countries the game reached the top of the local Tripadvisor ranking as well after a few months.

Description

HintHunt currently operates 2 different games: The JM office and the Zen Room 2 enigma of type real life escape games.

HintHunt differentiates itself by its attention to every detail, but also a large part of the game is dedicated to finding clues rather than solving puzzle.

Every games last 60 minutes. During this time, teams must manage to find their way out in the locked environment. A screen inside the room gives clues during the hour, helping stuck teams. Teams are premade and book online, as no bookings are made directly onsite.
