EscapeAcademy may not nail the tension of a real escape room, but it really has the social aspect down pat.

Escape Academy MSRP $20.00 Score Details “Escape Academy delivers lovingly crafted puzzles that shine in co-op play, but it can't fully replicate the thrills of a real-life escape room.” Pros Cons Sometimes, a no-brainer idea can turn into a deceptively tricky puzzle. That’s the case with Escape Academy, a new indie title that brings the idea of an escape room to your living room.

Each room is entirely distinct from any other, bringing a mix of inventive puzzles to match the theme. Missing keys It’s clear that the game was lovingly crafted by escape room experts as each level is packed with intuitive logic puzzles that are easy to love. It gets a little messier when it comes to replicating the high-stakes energy that real world escape rooms bring. In those scenarios, it’s a race against the clock with teams struggling to escape the room before they’re kicked out by the 25-year-old running the front desk.

I wouldn’t mind that as much if there was a little more to the package. Escape Academy only features around a dozen rooms, most of which I breezed through before I hit the suggested time limit. It only took me around three hours to complete it. An epilogue would allow me to pop back in and replay old rooms at any time, but there’s not much fun in that.
