Our take on Escape Simulator 2
The defining detail is its physical approach to escape rooms: nearly any unfastened object can be moved, examined, cleaned, or used while solving puzzles across each environment.
What is Escape Simulator 2?
Escape Simulator 2 is a first-person puzzle game built around interactive escape rooms.
Players can investigate new locations alone or online with up to 8 people, using voice and text chat while solving puzzles and uncovering secrets. Objects can be picked up, examined, cleaned, moved, and used in the environment, with vehicles and seats also available for interaction. The game includes room packs set in Dracula’s Castle, the Starship EOS, and a pirate island called The Cursed Treasure; each pack contains four rooms.
Room Editor 2. 0 supports custom room construction through lighting tools, a Building Editor with working stairs, and Sequence animations. The game has a darker, mysterious atmosphere but is not presented as horror and contains no jump scares or gore.
