About Us
Welcome to Enigmist Escape Games, where thrilling mysteries and brain-teasing adventures await you—anytime, anywhere.
I started Enigmist because of a simple idea: why should escape games be tied to a location or time? As a lifelong fan of games and puzzles, I fell in love with escape rooms when they started becoming popular. I’ve explored physical escape rooms, dived into board game versions, and enjoyed solving riddles with friends. But there was always one thing missing—accessibility.
I wanted a game that didn’t require a trip to a physical location, a purchase at a store, or waiting for a package to arrive. Something you could dive into the moment your curiosity sparked, whether you’re home alone or hanging with friends from across the globe. That’s why Enigmist was born: to create escape games that anyone can play, anywhere, instantly.
Enigmist (Enigma + Mist)
The name "Enigmist" is derived from the words "enigma" and "mist". Enigma symbolizing mystery, puzzles, and the art of decoding the unknown. It reflects our passion for crafting experiences that captivate and challenge, encouraging players to step out of their daily routine and dive into the thrill of problem-solving.
"Mist," on the other hand, evokes a sense of fog and mystery—a state where nothing is quite as it seems, and where the player must navigate uncertainty to uncover answers. Mist can also symbolize curiosity: the desire to see through the obscurity and uncover the truth.
The term "enigma" has its roots in history, most famously linked to the Enigma machine—a device used during World War II for encryption and code-breaking. It represented a battle of intellects and the power of human ingenuity to overcome even the most complex mysteries. This legacy of solving the unsolvable is at the heart of our games, where every clue, puzzle, and solution brings you closer to unraveling the truth.

The Person Behind the Mysteries
With a background in pedagogy and years of experience in gamifying learning experiences, I’ve always loved turning challenges into fun. When I’m not creating games, you’ll probably find me solving riddles, playing chess, or diving into a classic mystery novel. Even as a kid, I was obsessed with puzzles like Einstein’s riddle—so you could say this has always been in my DNA.
At Enigmist, my mission is simple: to make incredible escape games that are easy to access, challenging to solve, and impossible to forget.
