This has been a whirlwind week of launching the business and hosting our first few games. As we mentioned elsewhere, Paruzal was supposed to be launched this summer. We made the decision to launch ahead of schedule due to social distancing needs and wanting to give people a new way to pass the time. This would not have been possible without the help of our friends and family, advising us on everything from gameplay to business management, website design, and everything in between. The following folks have been especially helpful in getting us to where we are today:
Natalie and Susan A.; Adam L. and Kathryn R.; Michael S. and Nadia A.; Brian and Jessica R.; Marisa and Stephanie T.; Megan and Scott B.; George M., Fern Gully, and Turtle.
Over the last few years, we have been inspired by our love of traditional, brick and mortar escape rooms, puzzle hunts and games, and countless conversations with owners, designers, and enthusiasts about what makes for a good game. We were also inspired to try a new format by other developers’ alternative format escape rooms, including:
The Owl Field, 3D Audio Story Telling.
Exit VR’s Huxley (Berlin)
Mike Selinker’s The Maze of Games
Post Curious’ Tale of Ord
Escape Tales’ Awakening
The room, Berlin (this is not an alternative format ER but is by far our favorite brick and mortar ER, and the only one we’ve played multiple times, so we thought it deserved special mention).
Thank you, all. We greatly appreciate your contributions to the community.
