About the game

What you do in a play session

Picture yourself and your coworkers being invited to an isolated retreat called Emerald Island. All you know is that the place will be demolished the following week and you’re the last guests. Arriving there, the expectation of sun and sand turns into a race against time when a team member is found dead, harpooned in the back. The killer must be someone among the guests or the resort staff. Trapped on the island, with a killer on the loose, every clue narrows the suspect list while the danger rises. The challenge? Solve the mystery before the resort is destroyed and the truth sinks into the sea. The game blends deduction, murder investigation, and puzzles in an escape‑room setting, all in a hybrid format that requires an app or website to track digital clues. In cooperative mode, you and your friends must team up to uncover who’s behind the crime, while solo mode offers an autonomous investigative experience. With 1 to 6 players, 45 to 240 minutes and a moderate difficulty rating (6.5/10), Last Resort delivers hours of tension, strategy, and fun. If you love murder mysteries, cooperative play, and logic challenges, this retreat has everything you’re looking for. Gear up, bring your phone, and dive into the plot before the resort disappears.
