Dec 3, 2022A solid puzzle game with good head-scratchers and a compelling setup, though it settles into a groove that doesn't surprise in any way.

Jul 18, 2022Beat playing couch co-op with my girlfriend. Had a lot of fun, we have done at least a dozen irl escape rooms so it was up our alley. The game itself is pretty weak and the controls are awful on console. The story and setting are basic but fun enough.

Aug 15, 2022We cleared all of the rooms in roughly 5 hours over a couple of nights, and we had a blast doing so. The lack of replayability aside, there’s a lot to enjoy within Escape Academy. Each room feels different enough, even when all we’re doing is finding another four digit number or word, and the fluffy tale underpinning the affair is easy enough to just sit back and enjoy without too much thought. Launching into Game Pass was a great choice, hopefully exposing it to more players, and whether you play it alone or in co-op, this is a great way to spend an evening or two.

Jul 26, 2022Escape Academy is a wholesome, family-friendly adventure film come to life. The bright colors and blocky shapes lend to the idea of Saturday morning cartoon fun. The puzzles are clever, often requiring the player to pause for a moment and take it in before spotting the solution. Some segments can be difficult for players, but Escape Academy offers a useful Help button to keep things moving. The game has an intriguing – if campy – narrative and cast of characters who make the experience a joy to play. The timer for each room is generous but applies the right amount of pressure to keep you moving. Escape Academy easily earns an A on the final.
