'Escape Team' is the name of a interactive escape game that can be printed and played with a pen, paper and one's smartphone. In the style of escape room challenges, players are tasked with solving a series of puzzles within a set time limit.
There are various missions that can be printed out online, each of which adopts a different theme like 'Elevator,' 'Terminal' or 'Rollercoaster.' In these missions, players are tasked with stopping bombs, rescuing hacked elevators and preventing airplanes from crashing.
As gameplay requires cutting, folding and drawing, it is required that the missions be printed out on single-sided sheets of paper. The final piece that's required before starting the game is the Escape Team app, which can be downloaded on either an Apple or an Android device.
