Geheimgang 188 GmbH and the Natural Science Society of Winterthur (NGW), which is based at Technopark Winterthur, are opening their new escape room, “The Hunt for Dr. Mo No”, in Winterthur. On 13 November, Zurich Government Councillor Martin Neukom will welcome guests and deliver a speech at the opening ceremony at the Vitus site. The immersive experience focuses on biodiversity and the challenges of preserving it.
Geheimgang 188 will officially inaugurate its second location at the Vitus site in Winterthur on 13 November, unveiling its new escape room, “The Hunt for Dr. Mo No”. According to a press release issued by the company, the immersive game places the biodiversity crisis at the heart of its storyline.
Martin Neukom, a member of the Zurich Cantonal Government and Head of the Department of Building, is also responsible for promoting biodiversity in the canton. He will officially open the escape room and deliver a speech at the ceremony. “His participation will bring additional visibility to this important cause at our opening,” says Michael Oettli, President of the Natural Science Society of Winterthur (NGW), which developed the new location in collaboration with Geheimgang 188.
In the game, Swiss actor Stefan Gubser takes on the role of Dr. Mo No, guiding participants through the story via specially produced video sequences. A mysterious invention developed by Dr. Mo No threatens biodiversity, and players must work together to stop him.
“Bringing ‘The Hunt for Dr. Mo No’ into the real world means encouraging people to stand up for the diversity of nature even after their adventurous 60-minute escape room experience. This additional dimension gives our work a deeper purpose,” explains Cédric Wyss, Co-Managing Director of Geheimgang 188.
