BLACKOUT

Why operators buy it

Built to earn,
not to tinker with.

EX-Core gives you a platform. BLACKOUT gives you a product you can put on your price list this week.

Day 1

Ready out of the box

Story, puzzles, props and print are designed, built and play-tested. No design sprint, no workshop, no shopping list.

1 read

Any staff member can host

A step-by-step operator manual and a one-page game-master sheet. Hints are built in, so teams help themselves.

6–8 h

Back-to-back sessions

A 60-minute game, a two-minute reset and a full day of battery. No technician on site.

1 person

Goes where the client is

Three padlocked cases one person can carry. No socket, no venue Wi-Fi — just a table.

Every player, every phone

The mission doesn't stop at the cases.
It carries on in their pockets.

Three times during the game the EX-Core screen shows a QR code. Players scan it and a minigame opens in the browser — no app, no account. Everyone can play on their own phone at the same time while the rest of the team works the hardware, so nobody stands around waiting.

01 Scan

A QR code appears on the EX-Core screen.

02 Play

The minigame opens in any phone browser. Everyone joins on their own phone.

03 Extract

Win it to pull out the code the cases are waiting for.
