About the game
Calling Card is an escape game that mixes puzzles, narrative, and technology to immerse you. A box full of mysteries and enigmas. With the materials, codes, and clues hidden inside, you must use your ingenuity and match the objects to solve the case. In this new adventure, you will have to put all your deductive and investigative skills to the test because what seemed like an average case has become a twisted game. Your role will be to stop and unmask the terrible plans of a distinguished psychopath master of manipulation and specialist in the deepest and darkest instincts that guide the actions of the human being. Who is behind all this? Puzzles in which you will have to consult and review the different clues and inconsistencies between the suspects, investigate old cases, compare different publications or objects and find the necessary evidence to solve the crimes committed... or prevent them from being committed. If we manage to reach certain stretch goals, we can add more complex, sophisticated puzzles, which could include magnets, embarking on missions in the real world, receiving phone calls, and higher quality components to get a more realistic and stunning experience, among other amazing surprises.
