Ex Libris
Calling all literary heroes! The world of literature has broken free and has merged with reality… and sucked you in.
Last year, we designed A Temporal Tangle for The Enigma Room. Now, we’ve brought it online for you to play at home, at whatever time suits you!
The Future Directions Bureau sent their top agent (code name Fox) on a crucial mission in the 21st century to preserve the timeline. However, Agent Fox has now disappeared from the time stream. Enemy action is suspected – it’s up to you to trace his whereabouts and save the future.
In a world-first, we’ve combined 360-degree photospheres with the latest web technology and multimedia to let you experience the room as it is in real life – as close to being there as you can get from behind your screen. All you need is your browser!
Each purchased code can be shared by up to four players, so you can play together with your teammates!
A Temporal Tangle Online did an incredible job in transposing the original game into the virtual space. It feels like you are playing a escape room – the puzzles, the decorated set, even the cameras and the locks are there.

Time Out Sydney
Next Level are a great outfit who really care about providing immersive and well-designed experiences. There are very few rooms in Sydney (or Australia) that will have you laughing out loud – both The Artefact and Ex Libris at Next Level will have you laughing, I guarantee it.

Scott Monin (Escape Rooms in Sydney blog)
As it is becoming a signature of Next Level, The Artefact mixes tons of puzzles with humor and, especially in this room, heaps of lateral thinking. What impressed me the most was how the game designers managed to create good puzzles out of mundane items and common actions of daily life. [Read full review]

The Puzzle Design in Ex Libris is of the highest quality... So, do I recommend this room? Do I even need to answer? YES!

CUSTOM GAMES
Want an adventure that's just for you?
We design and build custom escape rooms, activities, and more! We’ve created pop-up escape rooms for movies, week-long activities for schools, and more.
I can’t thank you enough for your professionalism and the incredible work you put behind the rooms. The fan experience was incredible and the team at Roadshow and Warner/DC were blown away by your work. It really added some unique and special for our fans.
This was uncharted territory for all of us and I think you and your team should be incredibly proud for doing something that’s never been done before on this kind of scale. We would work with you again any day and would be happy to recommend you to any of our partners in need of similar activations.
