Filip Kouba, a twenty-one-year-old student of the Faculty of Economics at WBU, started developing escape games during his study stay at ERASMUS in Africa. It was there that he and his friends created the first version of the game with limited resources, which inspired him to further develop the idea after his return to the Czech Republic - the first adaptive escape game of its kind in Europe.

His game Destinisco has just opened its doors in Pilsen and is becoming a sensation not only on the escape game scene. This unique project uses artificial intelligence to offer players a unique experience. Every player can enjoy an original gameplay that adapts to their style and experience. Interestingly, Filip's entire family was involved in the game's development, including his father Peter, who played a key role in the game's development.

The adaptive approach allows you to change the storyline and puzzle complexity as players progress through the game, ensuring that the game will never be the same. This revolutionary technology brings a new dynamic to escape games that appeals to both newcomers and experienced players alike. "We knew we didn't want to make a run-of-the-mill Sherlock Holmes-themed basement escape game. Our game will take you through several unique characters and the storyline will be as you play it. The game is therefore completely personalised and the ending can never be the same," says author Filip Kouba.

Destinisco is not only a technological innovation, but also an inspiration for students and young creators who want to bring their ideas to life. "Our escape game adapts to players over time. Each puzzle module collects certain data, this is evaluated and the story changes and adapts based on this data," says Filip. "We looked at a lot of escape game sites and based on that we believe Destinisco is really the first game of its kind in the world."

In developing his adaptive escape game Destinisco, Filip also used the facilities of the IoT Lab at the Centre for Informatization and Computing (CIV). This centre gave him access to modern technologies such as 3D printers, CNC milling machines and microcomputers, which allowed him to better implement his idea. The IoT Centre is available not only to students of the WBU, but also to others who want to create and experiment with new technologies.

You can come and play the game at Palackého náměstí 26/753 in Pilsen. For more information and to book dates, visit destinisco.com.
