This virtual escape game is an immersive experience made with real-life images of the ghost town Pyramiden, containing an original storyline with numerous mysteries to solve with your teammates.
Plug in your camera, turn on your mic and meet your teammates at Pyramiden.
You will need to explore the town, translate Cyrillic, hack remotes, handle keys, run away from polar bears, work together as a team and above all… find the way out before it is too late.
The script
Explore Pyramiden, and immerse yourself in the forgotten Soviet utopia just a stone’s throw away from the North Pole.
Our travel agency C’était mieux avant offers you tourist experiences through space and time! Don’t wait anymore! Try our new destination: Pyramiden, 1970.
Located in the heart of the Svalbard archipelago off the coast of Norway, Pyramiden is a Soviet paradise that was soon deserted after the fall of the regime. But during the 1970s, in the middle of the Soviet golden age, all Russians dreamed of settling in this contemporary utopia. You too can enjoy its idyllic living conditions and breathtaking scenery with our patented time travel technology.
Fasten your seat belt, and get ready for takeoff. Be careful, however: the agency declines all responsibility in cases of spatio-temporal defects.

What to expect
Escape games are collaborative efforts. In either a physical or digital space, the goals remain the same: l: groups must find their way out in a limited amount of time. But for that, they will have to solve puzzles, open lockers, wander in many places…
Puzzle games
The virtual escape game allows colleagues to play together from home with just a computer, an internet connection, headphones and a webcam. They then become immersed in an exciting new world following a story where they are the main characters.
In an IRL escape game, space is limited. Here in Pyramiden, the space seems endless, allowing individuals to explore a vast scenery that is full of surprises.
