You start a game and share a code and voila – the two of you can move around freely within the escape room together! One of the coolest things about Escape Simulator is that there’s a co-op mode which I loved! Only a few days before I heard of the game I was lamenting to a friend that most good escape room video games ( with one notable exception) are single player.Įscape Simulator makes it really easy to play with a friend. For example, one tip I realised far too late (after about 11 rooms) is that items related to puzzles are indicated clearly in the inventory, and the rest you can toss away. But once you get through the first few games you begin to get a feel for it. This means it’s very easy to get stuck… And I mean really stuck. On the flip side, I would mention that when I played the game there was no hint system. What can I say I love Victoriana! But the early Labyrinth of Egypt games were a lot of fun too, the perfect introduction to the experience. Since each escape room has it’s own unique personality and flavour, it’s hard to say which are my favourite – but I probably vibed the best with the Edgewood Manor series. There are a number of tokens to find throughout the rooms (again, just for extra achievements though), and many tactile puzzles to uncover and solve throughout the spaces. Players can move around the 3D spaces and pick up and examine objects closer in their inventory. They’re short fire games at 15 minutes each, and it’s very hard to stop ionce you’ve started! The next level is only 15 minutes… Which is how I found myself still up and playing the game in the dim computer light at 3am one night!

There’s a time limit of 15 minutes per room – although these serve as more of a ‘time guidance’ as the only thing that happens if you fail to escape is you miss out on extra achievements. So lets get into it:Įscape Simulator has three themes of escape room:Įach of these settings has 5 rooms to solve which get steadily more difficult as you progress. The idea is simple: solve puzzles to escape from the rooms. Escape Simulator is an escape room simulator game. Is a point-and-click adventure sufficiently puzzle-y? What about unravelling a mystery?
