Show HN: Escape Team
- siva7 5y agoI really like the landing page!
- hemmert 5y agoThank you! I built it with Kirby: https://getkirby.com/ https://getkirby.com/ – super easy, really great to customize! (And multi-language!)
- jepler 5y agoNot to be confused with https://tmbg.bandcamp.com/album/the-escape-team https://tmbg.bandcamp.com/album/the-escape-team
- nehushtan 5y agoconfused me, haha! http://tmbw.net/wiki/The_Escape_Team http://tmbw.net/wiki/The_Escape_Team
- sabhiram 5y agoHug of death!
- hemmert 5y agoNo way, that server has been stable since I rented it 10 years ago. ;)
- hemmert 5y agoI finally found the time to update my wife‘s and my moonlight project: Escape Team. Have fun defusing those bombs :-) (a.k.a. ”How to survive mandatory family get togethers over the holiday season“)
- getcrunk 5y agoYea the site is slow. BUT WOW! Super cool concept. And looks very fun. I can't wait to try this out with friends at our next game night.
- hemmert 5y agoLooking forward to hear your opinion! Have fun :) I do get the feeling that my good old Webserver from 2009 might be retiring soon…
- Mizza 5y agoLove it! Great initiative, these games are fun. We played a lot of 'Space Team' on the phone, cool to see collaborative puzzle games evolve. It super, super bugs me that black has two light square bishops in the chess puzzle :) (and the labels are the wrong way round)
- Malcx 5y ago> It super, super bugs me that black has two light square bishops in the chess puzzle Clearly one of them is a promoted pawn.
- hemmert 5y agoAnd here my chess expertise shows its boundaries ;) I‘ll see if I can fix those bishops and labels :)
- hemmert 5y agoSpace Team was indeed the inspiration for the name, as well as the mechanic of „Keep talking and nobody explodes“, having physical paper on the table.
- hemmert 5y agoI also made a little mission editor for it: https://www.escape-team.com/create https://www.escape-team.com/create People are using it to create custom escape rooms, at home, at work and especially in education. Finally, a chemistry class about defusing a bomb. :-)
- hemmert 5y agoIt also supports MP3 audio narration in user-created missions, but only via linking to your own Dropbox, which would host the MP3. (I‘m super paranoid about hosting user-created content and copyright stuff.)
- jokethrowaway 5y agoLovely project - but I hate the printing paper bit. Not only it's creating rubbish, I don't even own a printer, so I would need to go to the local library to print a new mission.
- RobKohr 5y agoI take the alternate view. Tangible stuff is great and I like having something to toss on the kitchen table for the family to work through. And a little rubbish is not a problem. Paper does sequester CO2 afterall.
- kdamken 5y agoThis is cool. Just a tip, your mobile site’s overflow is messed up, so you can scroll way off site to the right.
- hemmert 5y agoAhhh, stupid me. I made a last minute change with the newsletter field, and that had a fixed width. Should be better now. :-)
- ElCapitanMarkla 5y agoAwesome :D we played through these a couple of years ago and I’ve been checking in every so often for an update.
- hemmert 5y agoI have missions 6-9 on my desk, the audio is recorded, and finally, our daughter gives us some time to launch the update in the next weeks ;)
- ElCapitanMarkla 5y agoOh great to hear, shout out if you want us to test anything
- hemmert 5y agoHere's also a starter kit for custom missions: https://www.escape-team.com/free-escape-room-diy-kit https://www.escape-team.com/free-escape-room-diy-kit
- DavideP86 5y agoLove it!
