Who are we?

Our journey begins in the University of Helsinki, in Southern Finland. Two college students meet at a student organization dedicated to the social roleplaying game Assassin and end up running the group together for a decade. Later on we start creating puzzle games for our friends, who love our games and keep encouraging us to distribute them to a larger audience. We join forces with a third friend, and Ludum Effugium is born. First we start with strictly escape room style puzzle solving games, but realize we can do way more. With some added formal studies in fields of gamification and edugaming we are now ready to deliver quality gamification solutions to any types of purposes.

Ludum Effugium is now a think tank and sandbox for us to try out different innovative game concepts and utilize our skills for order made products from gamification projects to edugaming. Some concepts fly better than others like our Mystery Christmas Calendar format which has spawn even a separate brand: The Great Thinking Cap.
