In the past nine months, between learning to keep our masks on for long hours and turning our living rooms into workspaces, we have all harboured the same question in our minds: When will the pandemic end? Despite all the high-end technology available at our disposal, human beings have been left quite helpless in the face of the invisible virus, hoping and waiting for an effective vaccine. But what if you could take matters into your hands quite literally and end this inexplicable crisis? Mystery Rooms' game, The Covid Lab, an online escape room experience, allows you to do just that — take matters into your hands, gather your smartest friends and hunt down clues to virtually create a vaccine.

Co-founder and MD Sapna Bhutani tells us that the game was conceived in the early months of the lockdown. "The fun factor was out of our lives at that time. We realised that since people can't reach us, we should reach them through online escape rooms. We thought that what can be better than the current situation itself? Since the final challenge is to find the vaccine, we felt it can be an optimistic activity," she shares.
