About Escape Simulator
Escape Simulator is a first‑person puzzler that can be enjoyed solo or with friends online. Players explore a growing collection of highly interactive escape rooms, moving furniture, picking up objects, and breaking locks to solve puzzles. The game includes a level editor and Steam Workshop integration, letting the community create and share over 4,000 rooms. It supports cross‑platform multiplayer, full controller and VR, and offers a variety of themed packs such as Labyrinth of Egypt and Adrift in Space.
01 / THE GUIDE
Single‑Player Experience
In solo mode you can tackle any of the built‑in rooms alone, examining books, artifacts, and clues at your own pace. The game lets you pick up any item that isn’t nailed to the wall, giving full freedom to interact with the environment. Solo puzzles are designed by real‑life escape‑room operators, ensuring each room feels authentic and challenging without needing other players.
- Take notes on clues you find; the pin‑to‑screen feature helps keep them visible.
- Experiment with moving objects; many solutions require rearranging furniture.

Online Co‑Op
Escape Simulator supports online co‑op for up to three players in the built‑in rooms, and community rooms have been tested with up to ten participants. Working together lets you cross‑reference clues instantly and combine different perspectives. Friends can customize their characters and join a session, making puzzle‑solving a shared adventure where “more heads are better than one.”
- Communicate which items each player is handling to avoid duplicate work.
- Assign one player to manage the pin‑board while others explore.
