Lately, I found myself being engrossed in escape room games. I have played escape room games before, but it was just for fun. It was until I found out that there a two-player escape room game you can play online for free, I am now invested in checking these escape room games out.
I came across the multiplayer escape game on TikTok and wanted to give it try. I invited one of my friends to play the game with me and we managed to escape. It was pretty confusing at first as we were only allowed to communicate and were not allowed to show each other our screens. We had to describe the things we see and eventually escape.
After the game, I wanted to play more escape games and went to the App Store to search for some. I came across several games and was pretty impressed with them. These are my top 4 picks for the best escape games you can download to play on your mobile.
The Room
The Room is one of the highly popular escape games available for both Android and iOS devices. It was developed by Fireproof and has gained much attention, even winning the BAFTA Award. The game is well-suited for beginners.
All it requires is for you to stay focus and think out-of-the-box. The game condenses the escape room game formula into a single contraption. Upon entering the game, you will only be provided with a puzzle box. You are not allowed to move away from it or do things away from the box.
Pretty tough for a first timer, but all you have to do is escape. Put yourself to the test and try to navigate your way out.
Rime
Want to take it a step further? Rime is a tougher escape game you can play to challenge yourself. The game only has one level, however the puzzles in the game are a little difficult. If it gets too difficult for you, the game offers a hint system where you can get free hints in exchange for watching an ad.
If the hints are not enough, there is also a walkthrough available to help you out. The game offers several endings, one of which is a ‘true ending’ which will only be available if you are observant enough. I have yet to try this out but will definitely give it a shot. The game is available on the App Store and Google Play.
Rusty Lake: Cube Escape
This has got to be my favourite escape games. I came across this game several years ago and I am still playing it today. No matter how many times I give it a go, it will always be fun. It is a series consisting of several rooms for you to escape, altogether forming an interesting storyline.
I am currently playing Cube Escape: The Cave and it is the last room before the story finally ends. You will be playing the role of a detective, Dale Vandermeer as you investigate a homicide. As you go on with the investigation, you came across Rusty Lake and find yourself trapped. But how will you escape? Well, you have to play it to find out!
These are some of the escape room games you can play on your device, available for both Android and iOS devices. Especially during these tough times, keep yourself engaged while improving your critical thinking skills. Share this with your friends and family and start playing now!
