Unite global teams with immersive, exceptionally crafted puzzle experiences — designed for authentic connection, wherever you work.
Available Worldwide
Unify your global workforce with a shared experience
Journey To Jidara starts with an on-desk puzzle box and finishes on your private leaderboard or at a physical treasure chest.
A journey in two parts
The experience begins with a premium puzzle box delivered to your office or remote team members.
Teams can solve the initial puzzles at their own pace, then come together for the final challenge - either online or at a physical location of your choice (office, holiday party, etc.).
Designed for team building and collaboration
Jidara's puzzles are crafted to encourage communication, problem-solving, and creative thinking. Teams must work together to uncover clues and solve mysteries, creating lasting bonds and shared memories.

Wanted more events
Google needed a screen-free way to connect 1,200 teammates across four global offices. We shipped premium puzzle boxes to every desk and installed immersive escape-room sets in their lobbies — teams used their box answers to unlock the finale. Morale surged, with a 9.1/10 rating and unanimous demand for more.

This was one employee's first escape room. He loved it so much, escape rooms have since become a treasured tradition between him and his son!
Philo's CEO Andrew McCollum wanted something unforgettable for a 150-person company onsite — with zero burden on his team. We installed Journey to Jidara in their SF headquarters for two weeks. Here's how it played out.
