How do I play it?

Escape rooms arefun and interactive experiencesto be had with friends IRL, but that doesn't mean that the same can't be done virtually, and this is exactly what Escape Simulator is trying to achieve. The first thing that you'll notice is its ratherdistinct look. Where others try for realistic and somewhat clinical presentation, it goes in the opposite direction with a more cartoonish art style.

Don't let that fool you, though, as Escape Simulator is all about realistic and intriguing puzzles. It features15 roomsthat were designed by real-lifeescape room operators. Pretty much anything that is not nailed to a wallcan be interactedwith. Examine objects, read text, or move things around. Anything is fair game to help you solve the puzzles and riddles you'll encounter.

You don't lose out on the multiplayer aspect either since it offers online co-op withup to 3 players. Some community rooms can even host up to 20 people for more chaotic fun. It's not with a few hiccups, though. There areoccasional visual glitchesat times, but more importantly, the game does not offer that much in the way of content—thank you,user-generated content.

Potential for something greater

Escape Simulator isa great puzzlerthat is worth considering. It doesn't take itself too seriously and is just a fun way to bond andplay with friends and family. Its cartoonish presentation works in its favor and the constant influx of user-generated content means that you'll always have something new to look forward to. Recommended.
