QUEST PUZZLE MOBILE APP (Escape Welt)
Client Background
Escape Welt is one of the market leaders in quests and the largest manufacturer of wooden
puzzle toys from Leipzig.
The circumstances of the pandemic forced us to find a solution and move the quest rooms home.
Along with this was born the idea of creating a mobile game based on the prototype of the quest and wooden toys. Quest Puzzle is a casual puzzle game, with unique details and different game modes.
