Abstract

Hepscape is a High Energy Physics themed escape room imagined in 2021 by a team from INFN. The virtual tour is a 360-degree experience with projections, sounds, lights and many unexpected surprises. During the game, visitors are tasked with riddle and each right answer opens a lock with the instructions for the next puzzle.

The entirety of HEPscape! material can be carried in four large suitcases (available at INFN Sections of Padova, Perugia and Rome).

Duration : approximately 40 minutes
Capacity : maximum 25 people
