SCRAP boasted a 10% success rate of players who complete all of the challenges in its promotional material. It was available exclusively in English and French.

How to Play
The events lasted one hour each. Although 100 to 240 people played simultaneously, each team of six acted on their own and could not team up with or compete with each other. An MC guided the teams through the story and the goal. Each team had its own table but needed to explore the entire game space in order to find all of the clues. Teams which did not escape could choose to receive the solutions at the end of the event. No prizes were given to those who completed the challenge, but all players were invited to an event following the game featuring video trailers and merchandise.
