The Beginning


IT STARTED WITH SCHOOLS


Our roots have always been in education.


Both Paul and Eric envision a learning environment that supports multiple learning styles, where students are engaged, active, and working together.

WE LOVE CREATING THINGS


It wasn’t long before people started to notice, and the requests came in from all kinds of industries: “We want one.”


Using the escape room genre as a reference point, we’ve created all kinds of games for many different organizations.

Time To Pivot


COVID CHANGED EVERYTHING


Overnight, we witnessed the entirety of our school-based business evaporate. It was time to either give up on the dream or figure something out.


One week later we had a prototype of Season 1 Episode 1 of Escape Mail and a month later, it was flying off the shelf.

Meet The Co-Founders


PAUL HARVEY


Paul Co-founded Mobile Escape with the vision of creating a sustainable business that was intrinsically beneficial to the communities it served. Paul did not thrive in a traditional classroom - he was the kid that had a hard time sitting down and being quiet long enough to read two sentences without staring off into space or talking with his neighbor. That was why Paul helped start Mobile Escape with a focus on schools; he has a desire to see students like himself thrive in a unique learning environment and discover, not how smart they are, but how they are smart. Paul graduated from Ambrose University in Calgary, Alberta with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a minor in International Development. Paul applies his creative nature to the business by helping create each one of Mobile Escape’s original puzzles, as well as financial know-how and passion for sustainable development.

#AWAKENWONDER

We believe that inside of everyone is a genius. A burgeoning artist. A brilliant scientist.


A person with a divine wonder that no one else in the world could ever have.


This wonder has always loved to create, think, and solve problems. As children, we are wonderfully capable of seeing the world with a fresh perspective and suggesting strikingly simple solutions. Children are also great at having fun.


But as we age, many of us find ourselves dulled by monotony and inhibited by patterns of lifeless routine. We are confined by our perceptions and adopt biases that taint our ability to think at our highest capacity. And worse, our fears divide us, creating barriers that inhibit our ability to work together.


Mobile Escape exists to wake dulled senses: to see, hear, and feel again. We bring people together to think differently about the world around them and to simply have fun.

When I first opened this newspaper, I was a little overwhelmed with the information and confused about what to do with it that I almost looked up some hints.  But when I got that "ah-ha" moment where I understood what I was supposed to do I realized just how brilliant this episode really is. This envelope was so well written and conceptually thought out, I felt like it was just speaking my language. Seriously, these just keep getting better and better. Whatever the electronic version of a standing ovation is- that's what I'm sending to you guys!

Chapter 9 was by far the most challenging episode for me.... It's worth it, though, because the story is pretty awesome!  What a cliffhanger!  Please mail the next episode ASAP!  I'm on the edge of my seat!

We LOVED this experience! A perfect variety of puzzles for a fun afternoon - it's amazing how much content is put into a regular envelope :) These escapes are so well done. I'm blown away every time.

This was awesome! Such a great thing to do with the roommates while we are all stuck at home. Challenging yet very satisfying when we figured something out.
