Edison vs. Tesla: The Rivalry That Will Change History

The year is 1900, and a new century is dawning—a century that will be defined by invention, progress, and power. At the heart of this technological revolution stand two of the greatest minds the world has ever known: Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla.

Brilliant yet bitter rivals, these inventors have spent years vying for dominance, their names etched into the annals of science, their genius unquestioned. But now, the battle for the future has reached its most pivotal moment yet. An exclusive invitation-only exhibition has been arranged, drawing in the wealthiest patrons, the most powerful investors, and the sharpest minds of the era. For Edison and Tesla, this is more than just another showcase—it’s their final chance to prove, once and for all, who truly deserves to be called the greatest inventor of the modern age.

You and your fellow interns have been personally selected to assist one of these brilliant but demanding minds, working behind the scenes to perfect their masterpiece invention before the exhibition opens its doors. The stakes couldn’t be higher: the world is watching, and the competition is fierce.

But Something Feels… Off.

From the moment you arrive, the fairgrounds hum with an uneasy energy. Whispers of sabotage and industrial espionage swirl through the corridors. Blueprints have gone missing. Equipment has been tampered with. Mysterious figures are seen lurking near the exhibits after hours. Some say that agents working for rival investors are trying to steal secrets—or worse, ensure one of these displays never sees the light of day.

Then, disaster strikes. A critical malfunction. A missing component. A last-minute twist that threatens everything. There’s no time to hesitate—you must work quickly, think faster, and outmaneuver your competition if your inventor is going to seize victory.

Two Inventors. Two Teams. One Chance to Shape the Future.

The pressure is immense. Every wire, bolt, and calculation must be perfect. Every decision could tip the balance of history. Do you have what it takes to assemble the ultimate invention, outwit the opposing team, and secure your place in the annals of genius?

Or will history be rewritten—and not in your favor?

OVERVIEW

NEW, IMMERSIVE, DYNAMIC

Two Inventors. Two Rival Teams. One Epic Showdown.
 

The year is 1900, and two of the world’s greatest minds, Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla, are preparing to showcase their latest groundbreaking inventions at an exclusive fair, hoping to secure the favor of the next generation of patrons. Today, they call upon you—their eager interns—to help set up their exhibits and ensure their never-before-seen creations are ready for the world to witness. But there’s a catch: only one inventor can emerge victorious.


How It Works


Choose Your Mode – When you arrive, you and your group will choose whether to play in Edison Mode or Tesla Mode. Each mode offers a completely unique set of puzzles, storylines, and interactive elements, all within the same physical environment.

 

Play Your Way – Each space accommodates 2-6 players (12 total across both spaces). When booking, you will select either Space 1 or Space 2—each space is a full private experience that can run either Tesla Mode or Edison Mode. If you want to play in head-to-head mode, you must book both Space 1 and Space 2 for the same date and time. Otherwise, you will play as a single group in one experience. If another group books the second space at the same time, you will have the option upon arrival to compete against them or simply enjoy separate experiences. Even in versus mode, all experiences remain private—no group will ever play inside the same space with strangers.


Two Games in One – While both spaces share the same immersive set, the puzzles, props, interactions, and storyline completely change depending on whether you play in Edison Mode or Tesla Mode. If you return to play the opposite mode, you’ll experience an entirely new game with fresh challenges and a different path to victory.


Flexible Booking – Every timeslot has two bookable spaces (Space 1 and Space 2). To compete head-to-head, you must book both spaces at the same date and time and split your team accordingly. If you only book one space, the other remains available for another group to book separately.


Whether you choose to face off in a battle of wits or return later to experience both modes, no two games are ever the same. Will you rise to genius, or be outshined by history?

Edison vs. Tesla consists of two completely separate but identical multi-room experiences, referred to as Space 1 and Space 2. Each space is a fully immersive escape experience that can dynamically be set to either Tesla Mode or Edison Mode upon arrival.


You can book:

  • One space and play either Tesla Mode or Edison Mode with your group.

  • Both spaces for the same date and time to compete in head-to-head mode, playing Tesla vs. Tesla, Tesla vs. Edison, or Edison vs. Edison.


Regardless of your choice, unused elements in the experience are seamlessly deactivated to maintain full immersion.

Is this experience one, two, or four rooms?

No—while Space 1 and Space 2 are physically identical (since they are two copies of the same escape room), each experience runs independently. You will never interact with the other space unless playing head-to-head mode, and even in head-to-head mode, they are still private experiences in each space. 
 

Each space can be set to either Tesla Mode or Edison Mode, and the puzzles, props, and storyline completely change based on your selection. If you play in Tesla Mode, all Edison-related elements will be deactivated and seamlessly integrated into the environment, and vice versa. This ensures that if you return to play the opposite mode, you’ll experience a completely new game.

Are both spaces the same?

Yes! Each space accommodates 2-6 players, making it perfect for smaller groups. However, if you want to play in head-to-head mode, you must have at least four total players (two in each space) and book both spaces for the same date and time. A group of two cannot play head-to-head, as they would only occupy one experience.

Can we play with just two people?

No—your group can stay together in one space or split up for a head-to-head experience.
 

  • For a single experience, simply book one space, and your group will play together in either Tesla Mode or Edison Mode.

  • For head-to-head mode, you must book both spaces for the same date and time and divide your group accordingly (e.g., 4 players = 2 per space, 8 players = 4 per space, 7 players = 4 in 'space 1' and 3 in 'space 2'). 


If you only book one space, another group may book the other space separately. In that case, you’ll have the option upon arrival to compete against them or play separately without competition. Even in versus mode, each experience remains private—teams do not play inside the same space with strangers.

If we have a group of four or more, do we have to split up?

Space 1 and Space 2 are completely separate but identical escape rooms, meaning both spaces can run either Tesla Mode or Edison Mode independently. The experience dynamically transforms based on your selection—Tesla and Edison Modes have different puzzles, props, storylines, and interactive elements.


If you choose Tesla Mode, all Edison-related elements in your space are seamlessly deactivated and integrated into the environment, and vice versa. Whether you play head-to-head or return to experience both modes separately, each game is entirely different.

How exactly does this work—is it the same room on both sides?

No—Tesla and Edison Modes have completely different puzzles, props, and interactive elements. If you return to play the opposite mode, you’ll encounter an entirely new set of challenges, making it feel like a brand-new experience.
 

Maximize Your Experience – Play Them All!

For the ultimate challenge, we recommend playing Edison vs. Tesla multiple times in different ways. Each playthrough offers a fresh perspective, a new challenge, and an exciting twist depending on the mode, your competition, and the strategy at play.


Play in Any Order:

✅ Tesla Mode – Experience Tesla’s visionary world in a private game.
✅ Edison Mode – Step into Edison’s industrial empire in a private game.
✅ Tesla vs. Edison – Head-to-Head Mode – Compete against the opposing inventor in a thrilling race.
✅ Edison vs. Tesla – Head-to-Head Mode – Same rivalry, different dynamics!
✅ Tesla vs. Tesla – Head-to-Head Mode – Face off in identical modes, but with new strategy and competition.
✅ Edison vs. Edison – Head-to-Head Mode – Can you outmatch a team playing the same mode as you?


Why Play Again?

While Tesla and Edison Modes offer completely different experiences, playing in head-to-head variations adds new layers of strategy, pressure, and competition. Even if you’ve played a mode before, the challenge completely changes based on your opponents, the intensity of the race, and how quickly you adapt.


Think of it like an arcade game—you may be familiar with the setting, but every match is a new test of skill, speed, and strategy. Whether you're racing against time, battling a new rival, or trying to top your previous performance, no two games are ever the same!

If I play Tesla first and then Edison, will I use the same props?
