Stories of Tie Up Games

"Game of Switzerland"

This is episode is called "Tied and untied". The players are cuffed with their hands behind and need to reach a key to free themselves.

I would say series 2 of UK and US version of the Traitors. In episode 1, the contestants are all tied to poles and have to work themselves free and then do an activity in the water. Some of them are quicker than others, and most need help for their freedom.

Plus, the show really is fantastic. I ...

Speaking of commercial streaming providers...

There is a Netflix gameshow called "Flinch". For a description, look here:

In many of the games, the participants are restrained in some way (leather straps, zip-ties etc.).

I can't share these videos ...

Wow, that's one of the most crazy-in-a-good-way things I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing.

(For my fellow American's: the videos in Achmar's post can't be watched from the USA, but if you have VPN which offers a server connection in Columbia, you can watch it that way.)

Some clips of shows ...

As far as I understand, there are „punishments“ for loosing teams. In these two videos, a team apparently has to spend the night in stocks:

And in these two, the team is handcuffed ...

Then there are obstacle courses which need to be solved handcuffed behind back.

I only have one link, but I remember seeing an even extremer obstacle course in one of the older videos. Unfortunately, I didn‘t save the link and I couldn‘t ...

Hi everyone,

I recently stumbled across a Columbian reality gameshow with some really nice games with tied up players (M and F). There are more than 5000 videos on their Youtube channel („El desafio“) and the show seems to be running since 20 years (which makes it quite astonishing that I never ...

As much as I enjoy being tied up, my favorite is tying up my wife. In the past she only did bondage for sexual pleasure, but lately we've been exploring it for the meditative aspect. I'll usually tie her, blindfold and gag her with bandanas or scarves, and then cuddle her and hug her close (she ...

This might be a bit off topic, as it‘s not about an escape room but an escape game idea. I still think it fits here quite well and hope, nobody minds.

Some time ago, I saw a „mainstream“ party game, you can actually buy. It‘s called „Activity crime“ and as far as I know unfortunately ...

This topic fits my preference very well.

I would not be able to relax, if I was tied up myself (I only see myself on the other end), but I would definitively love to meet someone, who could enjoy being tied by me and zen out during the experience.

Female singer tied in different ways.

A nice German video. Female singer and some male band members.

All fun ideas. Do you like the idea of a theme? Like medieval or pirates?


Yes I do. Of course, an escape room usually should have some kind of theme or background story just for the sake of the game.

But apart from that, I just like, when TUG-elements are established in a non-fetish (or ...

Found another one: female and male singer wrapped in rope.

Would be fun if people try to untie the others who have been caught too.


Yes, it would. But of course it may not be too easy. ;-)

This one is great: female singer suspended.

I like your idea, SwitchStruggle! That would make a really exciting challenge.

From my point of view, the time everybody is tied up is the highlight. So for dramaturical reasons, it makes a lot of sense for me to put this time at the end of the game.

Or throughout the whole game, as suggested ...

Hi everyone,

I'm male, 38 years old and live "im Saarland"

I like tying up.

I like your ideas and would like to share another scenario, which could be adjusted for solo players as well as for groups of different sizes. You might call it "The Inquisitor“.

I haven‘t worked out every detail, but I hope, some of you might still enjoy my thoughts.

The scene is set in a ...
