Overall Thoughts
This FREE online escape room is a two player communication based game, for this experience you will need 2 players and 2 devices connected to the internet ideally tablets or computers (without being able to see each others screens). You will then select player 1 or 2 and the game begins.
In this game you have to work with your companion to give each other clues and answers to what they are seeing on their screen. There are buttons to interact with, things to move and riddles to solve. Communication is key for this game you really need to describe everything you see in detail to help the other player figure out what they have to do on their side. The answer to your puzzle is almost always on the other players screen in some manner.
The puzzles were a nice mixture of logic, explanation and patterns with an equal amount of input and output for each player. The game flowed seamlessly when we figure out where to start.
The graphics of this game are really nice and all follow the same aesthetic to aid the theming. There is very little story or background to the game just that you have to solve the riddles and puzzles.
This experience took us 32 minutes to complete although with better communication we could have definitely done this faster. This game really puts your communication to the test.
This game is great as a little way to pass some time with a friend or a loved one, they also offer a 2nd and 3rd game that follow a similar structure but these are PAID games. These experiences are therefore longer in length.
As this is FREE I’d highly recommend giving it a go with a friend or loved one especially if you’re long distance.
