All systems good to go!

Make sure you have the best experience playing our escape games by running our custom tailored Device Checker!

Why should I check my device?

Each browser has its quirks... and they update all the time.

At Deadbolt Games, we harness cutting-edge programming technologies to deliver seamless experiences, from glitch-free video chats to immersive 3D elements and interactive puzzles. Our commitment to excellence ensures that every player enjoys a diverse and surprising adventure.

To maintain this standard, we have recommended browsers and have created a Device Checker to verify compatibility with all our features.

Browser Recommendations

Tablets & Phones

Experience hassle-free gaming on tablets and phones – no downloads necessary. Our platform adapts to your screen size, granting access to all Deadbolt Games' menu features.

iPad/iPhone

For iOS we recommend using a current version of Safari and iOS.

Android Devices

For other mobile devices, opt for a current version of Google Chrome.

Desktop computers

A larger screen is the best choice if you have one, allowing you to keep the video chat open for ease of communication with your team while viewing the gameplay area simultaneously.

For all desktop players we recommend using the current version Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

Will the game work on other browsers?

YES! (But not all)

While our games are designed to function on most browsers, some older versions may not support all features properly. If you have any doubts, simply click the "Run Device Checker" button, and it will provide immediate clarity.

Why are there minimum technical requirements?

It's all about finding the sweet spot between delivering an engaging, interactive escape room experience with a dependable video chat system, while ensuring accessibility across a wide range of devices.

When creating Deadbolt Games, our mission was clear: make our platform accessible to as many devices as possible. That's why we opted for web-based gameplay instead of a native application. No downloads necessary! Whether you're on a PC, Mac, old computer, or new device, you can even play on your tablet or phone!

Unbound by physical constraints, virtual escape rooms open doors to limitless storytelling and puzzle possibilities through innovative programming technology. We aim for balance: creating games that perform well and are playable across numerous devices, without sacrificing the richness of the escape room experience. While catering to every device and browser may seem tempting, it quickly imposes unnecessary limitations on the variety of interactive puzzles and experiences we can offer. By supporting selected modern browsers, we can balance a reasonably high level of accessibility with innovative gameplay.
