But when we saw the posts on social media announcing the arrival of The Insiders, Gord and I decided that we would tackle this particular mission on our own, from the safety of our sofa. With our extended team, we have played all of Deadlocked’s Reading rooms: The Phoenix Research, The Testing Chamber, and most recently, The Time Machine. Not only do James and Charlie have experience developing a number of live escape games, but James is also the author of the Escape Room Puzzles Book series, making a play from home game the next logical step for the team. It’s no surprise that something like this was in the works at Deadlocked. But with a few tweaks, the game was able to be launched early in a different form. The game had been in the works for some time to become an escape room in a box, linked, as all their rooms are, to the Wexell Corporation. When the UK ground to a halt in mid-March, and even days before the Government made their shelter in place advice a mandate rather than a suggestion, Deadlocked were one of the first UK companies to launch their own version of a play at home game: The Insiders.

Go solo or gather your closest confidants to take down THE INSIDERS before they go world-wide.

There’s a mole in the company, working against us with some very sensitive information and we need YOU to find out who’s been sneaking around where they shouldn’t. The Wexell Corporation has a problem right now.
