Scriptum - An Escape Game Applied 100% Augmented Reality

You are getting bored with the traditional game on mobile? Why not try out this newly released game Scriptum (7th Nov) - an escape game applied 100% Augmented Reality (AR)?

First, let's take a look at the trailer:

Augmented Reality (AR)

Despite catching a lot of public attention and rapidly growing in popularity for bringing elements of the virtual world into our real world, Augmented Reality (AR) is still in its infancy. It is considered an extremely potential technology in our daily life, thus enhancing the things we see, hear, and feel, however, also hard to apply.

"It’s crucial to know that technology that works in ideal test conditions will also work in the field, on-site, without internet, or at 3am! Unfortuantely, AR does not pass this test."

Because AR-applied devices, games or applications need to meet the special conditions of light or even require additional hardware and relevant stuff that run out of batteries.

Escape room

Escape room or escape the room, also known as escape game, is a physical adventure game in which players address a series of puzzles and riddles by using given clues and strategy to find out the way to escape. Of course, there is a firm time limit to complete the objectives. Moreover, all the game settings are normally fictional locations, affecting the given puzzles and riddles.

Can Scriptum standout?

Augmented Reality is applied 100% on Scriptum gameplay. In Scriptum, players have to solve a few different puzzles to escape. At entering the game, the players are required to scan the floor, then generating the room where they have to escape. Then, puzzles and riddles will appear alongside with hints. At this moment those puzzles seem to be so simple that most of the players can clear them out before the expiration of 15-minute limit.

In general, the concept is simple as well as already stated but it is still incredibly interesting and well-crafted. Furthermore, the game is totally free without any disturbing ads.

Scriptum is available for download for free on the App Store.
