It is October 31st, the eve of Movember, and ‘T’ is working late instead of hosting his famous annual Halloween party, but this leaves him without his shaver when he needs it the most. Movember starts tomorrow, and the Wexell Corporation competitive mo-growers take it VERY seriously. So seriously in fact, that if he hasn’t shaved by midnight, they will count it as him CHEATING AT MOVEMBER. You’ll have to break into the security at the Wexell Corporation, but only if you can help his colleague, Joey, get into his house and locate his surprisingly well hidden ‘special razor’. Why does he need this specific razor? Why is Joey going along with this mad-capped adventure, and can you help a rapper come up with an on-brand rap before it’s all over? All these questions and more can only be discovered by playing ‘The Movember Virtual Moscape Room’. It’s about to get hairy!

We decided to do this with a small group of mates. It was great fun. Very worthwhile. Some of the puzzles were really really tricky. But very original- using multiple platforms. You needed Facebook and google maps. It was awesome. Highly recommended.

Very enjoyable & challenging.

Great way to get the message across to people who otherwise wouldn't listen.

Silly and playful fun.  Note that, again, at least one person will need an active Facebook account to be able to complete the game.  Shorter than the other games, but worth the money as it goes to charity.  Laughed out loud at the ending credits.

Deadlocked’s first two online games are much loved by enthusiasts, so the release of their third was much anticipated. And this one is released in support of the charity Movember, with a third of the price going to the charity.

You might wonder (I certainly wondered) how an escape game might be based around the concept of growing a moustache for men’s health - perhaps track down an unusually hirsute criminal? In fact it’s a tongue-in-cheek adventure based around getting a razor to its owner, wh...

With a catchy theme song, immersive narrative, wacky humour, and clever puzzles, not to mention achievements to unlock and a nifty completion certificate, there’s nothing not to love about The Movember Virtual Escape Room

This game could be played as a solo player or as a team. Either way you'll have tons of fun solving puzzles while supporting a good cause and learning about how you can help with global issues. We are thankful for Deadlocked Escape Room & Movember for creating this game and including us in the creation for such a great cause. We hope everyone could support and spread the message to check on your Mo-Bros and Mo-Sisters and see how they are doing during this difficult time and perhaps reconnect and invite them to play a game with you!

We need to help find T’s special razor before Movember starts so Wexell don’t class him as cheating!

Deadlocked’s Moscape room is great fun. Being a charity collaboration, it’s more accessible than their first two games and so is an easier entry point into Deadlocked’s puzzle-verse. So if you fancy yourself a more serious puzzler, I recommend playing the extended edition (just add EX at the end of your game code when you first play).

The game lets you become hacker and detective all in one, and its heart and humour carry you through to a satisfying conclusion.

The thing I love most about Deadlocked’s rooms is that you’re never just a player trying to get to the end goal. They craft characters that you can’t help but bond with, and the journey becomes almost as important as the destination. Like I said when playing The Cyphstess, you’re left with a warmth that goes beyond the satisfaction of winning.

Overall, Deadlock Online has created the perfect moscape online game and for a great charity. We managed to complete this in just over 2 hours 30 minutes however, we did have some technical issues which added to our time (no excuses we promise). As you can see, we took no hints and some achievements were completed but we missed out on some too, which is another little feature which we absolutely love. We were totally immersed in another adventure by the genius team at Deadlocked and always love playing their real life escape rooms to their online virtual escapes at home.
