The Vitalogist is designed as a team game. It’s ideal for 3 to 5 players, to keep everyone involved in solving puzzles and progressing through the story.

Playing with just 2 people is absolutely possible — just plan a little more time to complete the experience. The puzzles are designed to encourage teamwork and fresh perspectives.

Getting stuck is all part of the escape room experience — even The Vitalogist’s path to self-discovery can be confusing. If your team hits a wall, don’t worry.

Here’s how to keep going:

Here’s what to do:

• Take a breather and try a different puzzle. A fresh angle often helps.

• Swap clues with someone else — new eyes, new ideas.

• Still stuck? Scan the QR code or enter the URL from the instruction letter to access our hint page. It’ll nudge you in the right direction without spoiling the fun.

No escape room experience is required, but it helps! The Vitalogist is our most challenging escape game. Perfect for players who enjoy complex puzzles and layered storytelling.

If you’re new to escape rooms, the game is still completely playable, thanks to the included instructions and online hint system. However, we usually recommend starting with The Stalker or The Drifter if you’re looking for a smoother introduction.
