Updates include CGI animation for talking pictures and mirrors, LED lighting effects for atmosphere, and new control software that can be run from any tablet or phone. Of course, the core appeal of Houdini’s Challenge remains its first-rate game play and beautifully immersive atmosphere, and we have stayed true to the original game by not using technology for the sake of technology. The game play for Houdini’s Challenge was originally very “gen 1,” but it has been updated over the years with all the newest Paradox “whiz bang” technology that our customers have come to expect. The original game flow intellectual property was licensed, but was given the full Paradox treatment to the extent that the result bears little resemblance to the original licensed concept.

Houdini’s Challenge began life as one of the earliest Paradox games during the company’s formative months and years, and it quickly proved so popular that the original room is still in operation today. It has stood the test of time over the years with both our industry clients and our brick-and-mortar customers because there is simply no substitute for good, solid storytelling and an engaging premise for an escape game.

This Paradox favorite is one of our most popular games, and with good reason.
