Football themed escape room in Microsoft Excel
Hope it's not bad form to post this, but think it could be right up the street of some (emphasis only on some!) people here.
I created this game a while back and in the last series of Only Connect I kept thinking “they’d probably enjoy my escape room game” whenever someone would mention they were a football fan (occasionally there would even be a clue very similar to something I had already used in the game). So rather than hoping to stumble across football fans who also like Only Connect, I thought it might be easier to try the reverse :)
As the first line suggests, the game is set up as an Escape Room, but the puzzles are a mix of football knowledge and lateral thinking. It could be a good thing to try with a group of friends one evening. Playing time is typically 2 – 3 hours, and the puzzles can be quite hard (but you can use hints).
For a better idea of how it works, you can see the guys from a football trivia podcast playing it live here (will obviously contain spoilers): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eic8fQjDCXc&t=325s
This is an example screen:
I do also have some general knowledge ones in the works for anyone who loves the sound of it apart from the football bit…
