Online players can choose to put their detective skills to the test in Sherlock The Grand Debut, or support M15 to track down a thief in Rogue Agent. With each game played, a donation will be made to the hospice charity.
“Understandably fundraising has taken a hit through the pandemic and we are constantly looking at fun, new ways to engage the local business community,” said hospice Corporate Fundraising Manager Natalia Keene.
“Fundraising is difficult when you aren’t in the office or able to participate in events, so we’ve adapted to this new digital environment and embraced the rise of virtual events. We’re delighted to be working in partnership with award-winning Escape Live and we’re so grateful for their support raising much-needed funds for our vital hospice services.”
Kim Thorpe, Partnerships Manager at Escape Live, said: “I am so pleased that here at Escape Live we are able to help John Taylor Hospice with their fundraising. The digital world has been a lifeline to so many during these unprecedented times and being able to offer a solution is so rewarding for all of us. We are looking forward to this partnership and continue to be on hand to offer any support when needed.”
Natalia added: “So, if you’re looking for your next socially distanced team-building activity, social or breakout session, the virtual escape rooms are perfect. Gather your A-Team to help solve the clues and complete the mission or challenge a rival team in the company to be crowned the champions and earn bragging rights! However you choose to play, you will be supporting the hospice and making a difference.”
