    CHELMSFORD, ENGLAND, July 03, 2020 /24-7PressRelease/ -- British Escape Room business 'Know Escape' are celebrating as their 2500th team complete a live online escape room with company.

On March 21st all Know Escape venues were closed due to Covid-19 and the company quickly adapted to launch Online Escape Rooms on March 24th. The online offer enables players to take part in an Escape Room game from the safety of their own home.

"The response has been phenomenal," states William Hazon, co-owner of the company. "People have connected to our games from all over the world to play. Our games are one hour long, they have a real live games master hosting each session and we've had some fantastic feedback!, We've managed to keep just over thirty of our team at work and out of furlough, entertaining customers old and new from across the globe."

Teams book a time slot and and are provided with access to an online game and a host, each game takes about one hour and is hosted via web conference software included in the price.

"When we launched the service we knew we had to have one of our team members hosting each game experience along with the all important one hour countdown clock," adds Oli Gillett the new head of online games at the company. "We've never been so busy, hosting remote birthday parties, lots of stag and hen do's and hundreds and hundreds of corporate teams who want to do something fun together that is not related to their work task."

Know Escape Online games start at £55 including VAT for unlimited players and always include a live game host.
