A game night with friends, on the big screen
A game night that lasts about an hour and a half: a mystery, some wild theories, and someone who'd had the answer right in front of them for ten minutes. An evening you will still be talking about.
An escape room with friends, no room to book
Classic escape rooms mean booking a slot, getting there and paying per person. Here, the living room does the job. You launch After Hours at the Museum on the big screen, everyone scans the QR code and the case begins, whenever suits you, snacks included.

A game night where nobody knows everything
Every player gets a role and documents the others can’t see. The best moment often comes when two players realize their clues are about the same thing. You have to describe, question, sometimes doubt what the other person says. It is a cooperative game, but not a quiet one.
You then search the rooms by flashlight from your phones, and some puzzles need several people acting at once: one turns a dial on the vault, another plays part of the piano.
A date night idea, too
Playing as a pair works just as well. With two of you, each player takes two roles, and the case has the right pace for a date night at home: a dark museum, a guard on the radio, and a mystery to solve side by side. Skip the restaurant, keep the plot. More ideas for two on our date night at home page.
Add a little competition
The clock is running and every hint you ask for costs time. At the end, your team can enter the leaderboard, and you can challenge another group of friends with a link that shows your time on the game page. For seasoned players, the Curator level removes all unprompted help.
What if you're not in the same city?
Remote mode turns the game into an online night in: everyone watches the videos on their own screen, keeps their clues on their phone, and you talk on your usual calling app. The videos stay in sync for the whole group.
What it costs
A single purchase of €9.99 (launch price until October 31, then €12.99), made by whoever starts the game; everyone else plays for free. The game stays in their account and can be replayed with other friends. The first room is free to try. See pricing.
Frequently asked questions
There are five or six of us. What do we do?
Four players join on their phones and get the roles. The others search along with them in front of the TV. You can also start a second game later for the rest of the group: the game you bought can be replayed without limits.
Does everybody have to pay?
No. Whoever starts the game buys it, €9.99 (launch price until October 31, then €12.99), and everyone else joins for free.
Can we compare our score with other groups?
Yes. At the end, you can add your team's time (hints included) to the public leaderboard, sorted by number of players. You can also send a challenge link to another group of friends.
Do we need to book a room for an escape room with friends?
No. You open the game on the big screen (a laptop plugged into the TV, or a phone mirrored to it), everyone scans the QR code, and the game starts. No slot to book, no trip to make.
