Escape AcademyCoin Crew GamesEscape roomVirtual Genuinely enjoyed this one! Having online escape experiences has been fantastic when we can’t make it to a physical room and this one has a lot of different locations and puzzle types in one. The art and humor are great. The only negatives were one unnecessarily confusing puzzle and some technical hiccups (though I believe those were due to the Steam interface, so not knocking the developers for it). Excited to try out the DLC, Escape from Anti-Escape Island.
The Room ThreeFireproof GamesEscape roomVirtual This series has been really fun to tackle at home when we can’t get out to a physical room. It’s challenging and really engaging. The environments and puzzles are beautifully designed. We play on a tablet as a duo, but this is great for solo play as well.
The RoomFireproof GamesEscape roomVirtual This was my first introduction to this series and I really enjoyed the intricacy of the art and variety of puzzles. We played on a tablet as a team of two working together, but it would work really well for a single player. There are no timers, so this is great to work on at your own pace when you have the opportunity.
Tick Tock: A Tale for TwoOther Tales Interactive - OnlineEscape roomVirtual Played this on Nintendo Switch (each person on their own Switch). You depended fully on the other person, so good communication is key. Nice graphics with a strong storyline, this was an enjoyable casual play.
The Room TwoFireproof GamesEscape roomVirtual After completing part one, it was an insta-buy for part two. The puzzles are intricate and beautifully designed. We played on a tablet as a team of two working together, but it would work really well for a single player. Easy to pick up and play any time as there are no timers.
Apart in Time: A Whispering Halls AdventureEnchambered Live Escape Room Adventure - OnlineEscape roomVirtual After playing the other Enchambered online two-player experiences, this was a fun “spooky” version. Communication is key. The story and design were good, a nice bit of fun when you can’t make it out to a room in person.
Alone TogetherEnchambered Live Escape Room Adventure - OnlineEscape roomVirtual This “room” is a free online experience for two players, so had to give it a try. It was pretty quick to get through, but enjoyable enough that parts 2 and 3 were played immediately after.
The Room 4: Old SinsFireproof GamesEscape roomVirtual This was a fun online escape experience with a fantastic flow. This was a unique spin on this series and we had a great time working through the puzzles.
Alone Together 2: Together ApartEnchambered Live Escape Room Adventure - OnlineEscape roomVirtual This is an online “room” where two players need to communicate to help one another progress on their respective sides. Short, but enjoyable.
Alone Together 3: Together at HeartEnchambered Live Escape Room Adventure - OnlineEscape roomVirtual This was my favorite of the three part series of these online two-player “rooms,” primarily for the theme. As with the others, this all comes down to communication with your partner. Really cute.
