EscapeAcademy looks to capture the thrill of escape rooms with a puzzle game that's friendly for players of all ages.
During the height of the pandemic, absence truly made the heart grow fonder. I found myself missing social activities that I barely ever did before lockdown. For instance, despite only ever doing an escape room once or twice in my life, I suddenly wished I could get some friends together to go out and yell at each other as we fail to solve puzzles.
Puzzle school As its name implies, Escape Academy has a school motif. Each escape room is a different exam and players get a report card at the end highlighting how they did, complete with a letter grade. The developers at Coin Crew Games hint that there’s a narrative that runs through the game, but my demo was focused on the puzzles.
While object interaction is a key part of the game, there are plenty of logic puzzles too. Midway through the room, I need to solve a padlock code by recalling numbers I found on scraps of papers that correspond to images on a briefcase. I solve the first room in about 10 minutes flat, with each step naturally clicking into place.
Coin Crew Games showed off another level that was even more complex in a hands-off session. In that scenario, players find themselves in a room that’s filling up with water as the timer counts down. The developers note that the fun of creating a digital escape room as opposed to a physical one is that they can put the player in mortal danger .
