About Escape Academy
You've just arrived at Escape Academy, a school where promising students train to become the ultimate Escapist.
Play over a dozen masterfully hand crafted rooms, designed by experienced experts in the field of REAL LIFE escape rooms.
Experience the entirety of Escape Academy alone in single player OR through two player co-operative play. Available in local or online splitscreen.
Explore the campus of Escape Academy and get to know the faculty, a colorful cast of characters, each an expert in the art of Escape. And some with secrets yet to be uncovered...
Featuring Music and Sound Design by the one and only doseone (Gang Beasts, SLUDGE LIFE, Disc Room, Enter the Gungeon).
Escape Academy’s Respected Curriculum:
- Attend a Tea 'N Tea Party - Can you defuse the bomb before your tranquil cup of tea gets cold? Your grade (and physical well being) depend on it!
- Hack the Professor - Solve a quantifiably feverish series of challenges to prove to the Academy’s super A.I. that you’ve got the skills to become an Escapist.
- Go for the Gold - Represent your class in everyone’s favorite sporting event, The Rival Room. Go toe-to-toe against your nemesis in a puzzle-race to prove who’s top of the class.
- Do Not Drown! - Being at the bottom of a puzzle-tower that’s rapidly filling with water is NOT ideal. Scramble to the top for that sweet, sweet oxygen.
- Spray Paint the Monument - Art class is no Easy-A at the Academy. Leave your mark on the historic Monument of Escape but uh… hurry up! The Headmaster didn’t exactly approve the lesson plan.
And this is just a portion of the wacky (and often lethal) curriculum!
Hit the road with Coach Yoach in Escape Academy: The Tournament of Puzzles! Showdown against your friends in a head to head, globe-spanning series of puzzle competitions!

- The Showman’s Studio - Step right up and prepare to be puzzled! The biggest theater in all of Escape boasts a plethora of magical challenges to confront!

Hike up those puzzle pants and get ready to solve!

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
They effectively ruined the game by adding PVP multiplayer that came with stupid grindy achievements to an overall fun co-op escape room game. Even if you can do the content in single player, you need to run ~50~ rooms, assuming even if you know what you're doing, it takes 3-5 minutes even at 3 you're looking at a 3 hours of the same room over and over with generic but randomized puzzle solutions. I hope Escape Academy 2 axes the dumb PVP mode but if it doesn't I probably won't buy it As for the main campaign mode, that was pretty fun. A lot of the early puzzles were on the easier side and found that sometimes the difficulty rating didn't match up with how I felt the difficulty was, but typically that was within one or two difficulty levels. So a difficulty three room might have felt like a difficulty two, or maybe a difficulty four. Overall, the rooms themselves weren't actually that difficult, Only the difficulty level five room, which is the highest difficulty in the game, actually felt like it posed a significant challenge, Which is what led to my six hour playtime considering the price. Because of the short playtime, I don't think that the full price is worth it. Howe…2 found this helpful
Visually the game looks good but it's missing substance. 90% of the game is too easy, doing menial puzzles with a time limit, then the game is over right when it starts to get challenging. It's padded with a cringy story and cringy characters but luckily you can skip all dialog. If you want easymode friendslop then this is for you2 found this helpful
best escape game I’ve ever played! this one make sense unlike many others. I loved it.1 found this helpful
This game is absolutely awesome for a good time. The story mode is progressive and fun, both solo and multiplayer are easy to solve with, and there's even a tournament where you can see how fast you can solve certain puzzles or play with a friend and see who can outwit the other. Highly recommend if you like puzzles and lots of witty remarks about the junk you'll find along the way.
cool game beat the entrance exam in 5s
The game was pretty good, nothing too incredibly hard. Would be a great game for kids too. Fun little mystery. Played through the game with my wife and we both had fun. Excited for the second game release!
