100 Doors Game - Escape from School

100 Doors Game - Escape from School

Mia is trapped in school, help her get out by solving puzzles in this escape room type of game.

In order to exit the school you’ll have to solve and unlock 140 doors.

All those rooms are split up in 16 different categories such as chemistry, history, music, sport and so on.

The game is filled with unique, very creative and well designed levels, with a lot of variation in the puzzle’s which get harder as you progress.

Some puzzles are extremely difficult and none of them give any explanations.

I have completed the entire game and I can assure you that this isn’t for kids.

Dont get this game even tho its free.

I will sum it up with saying that the game is just bad and that it might be free but (I believe that its because) they added micro transaction into it (I will explain later)

Now I did give it a good try and made sure I past all the puzzles (with hints and skips will explain later) before posting this.

Some problems with the game:

The first puzzles are too easy even for kids to solve and its just wasting time, no idea why they are in there.

A lot of other puzzles were so weird, with no real hints with moon logic and with getting the answer either just by spamming everything until something works, sometimes needing to click something more than once because reasons. or by using their hints/skip. All those things I really dont like in a puzzle game but this isnt even the worst ones.

Mad Experiments: Escape Room

Mad Experiments: Escape Room

We played this for a Coronavirus stay-at-home team event, with 15 people in 3 rooms, and everyone had a great time! It is definitely challenging but generates lots of fun conversation. We ended up using Zoom to talk with each other, and used the Zoom “breakout room” feature to split into the 3 rooms. This worked well; however, things work much easier if you run Zoom on a different machine than the game (Zoom on a phone, for example). Great game! We are looking forward to Chapter 2!

[Update] We had another team event playing through Chapter 2, and it was also great fun! It’s harder than Chapter 1, so don’t feel bad about making more liberal use of the hints . . .

A pretty good escape room experience, and I’m looking forward to the next chapter (coming out Nov 11!). If you have the cash to burn, I recommend it. After all, it’s cheaper than a real escape room session. Not for people who get extremely nauseated when playing 3d or first person games; I powered through the first chapter and had to take a break before moving on to the second. A friend and I played together and we had different opinions per chapter; she preferred the first, and I preferred the second. The game felt very polished, we did not run into any problems with objects disappearing or falling through the floor, as per older reviews. Mild spoilers/hints to follow.

Between Time: Escape Room

Between Time: Escape Room

Between Time is third game from mc2games and, in my opinion, it is their best release to date. I enjoyed both previous titles (Palindrome Syndrome and Tested On Humans) which had well thought out puzzles but could be a bit confusing at times.

In Between Time, the interface has been slightly tweaked and seemed more intuitive. The development team has done a great job providing visual clues on related puzzles and there is a gentle hint system if you are stuck. They also posted a full solution guide which I only referred to once. This game has a time travel theme so it is played in five distinct environments, each with a new set of diverse puzzles. Most are easily solved if you are paying attention, as clues tend to be in plain sight.

really love the fun and challenging puzzles. not TOO frustrating.

I find the clues are really well done. Some other puzzle games might just not tell you anything at all to make it “challenging”. Really that’s poor design and frustrating to the player.

This game however is really fun with interesting locales.

Alice Trapped Beyond Wonderland

Alice Trapped Beyond Wonderland

A very interesting game, the puzzles are good, some of them are more abstract but usually you can figure it out if you take 1 thing at a time. I played the entire game in one video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tq7XLmEFow

It’s a magical world filled with beautiful castles and images, sometimes you see more “mature” things like a prison cell or an abandoned train but it’s great for kids and adults. The whole game is about 1 hour long, it will take most people 4 hours to beat. It’s great for this price

if something looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s most likely a duck. and while alice trapped beyond wonderland looks like a hidden object game, it doesn’t have any quacking hidden object scenes, so I gladly took a gander.

First Class Escape: The Train of Thought

First Class Escape: The Train of Thought

I’d really like to recommend this, but that Chapter 4… it sapped the fun :( and made it almost impossible to finish the game. Great setting and ideas up to then, if sometimes let down by the execution. The co-op hosting was seamless, controls were fine, and how nice to find notes not littered with errors. I loved working out the guests, but searching a bookcase three times for that one you can interact with? Dull and frustrating. Collectables are a fun addition… sometimes they were more clever and satisfying to retrieve than solving the puzzles!

Just finished playing this game in single player mode. Overall the game was enjoyable…graphics are nicely done and the puzzles for the most part were not overly difficult. I see some people giving the game negative reviews because some of the puzzles on Level 4 were challenging…if you take your time and examine how each machine works, you can eventually solve them without the need for a walkthrough.

Having said that, this is a new game and some refinement is needed. Having to drag things with the mouse (opening drawers, turning dials, etc.) is tedious and annoying….there has to be a better way to do this. There’s also apparently no way to customize the keyboard controls and no info that I could find on which keys do what. It’s also almost impossible to read some of the notes when you pick them up…the text is tiny and I could find no way to magnify it. Playing on a large screen TV sitting maybe 5 feet away, I had to get up and stand 6" away from the text to read it.

In the words of James May: “No.”.

It’s a pity. The programming is competent. Good use is made of the Unity game engine. The environment is colourful and pretty, though completely ripped off of a well known game. Perhaps one could call it a tribute. I didn’t find any bugs, though I thought I did several times because the game design is a bit strange.

And that’s the problem. Numerous questionable design decisions spoil the game. It carefully explains how to solve a particular puzzle type, but presents a single use of that puzzle type which works differently. It features a bright, powerful, dangerous-looking laser beam … which in its first appearance shines right through where you have to be standing without harming you. There are a number of different puzzle mechanisms, one of which is so fast, and requires such a quick memory, that I cannot solve it without watching a playback outside the game. Things you change, change the environment with appropriate sound-effects, but you can’t see what changes because the game forces you to look away as it happens.

At first gland, the DEV is definately inspired by “The Witness”. The puzzles however start very easy and simple, but dedicated to be the same as all the others and yet slightly off. But when you progress deeper into the game, sometimes a bit more “challenging” the puzzles become.

The controls are a bit weird, but I could adjust it to a level on which I could work with. Same as for the sound, it was very loud at certain points. Music wasn’t constant, had to put other music in the background. Don’t like silent games.

EscapeVR: The Basement

EscapeVR: The Basement

I loved this game. So far this is my favorite escape the room game. Easily forgot I was in my living room and found myself avoiding tables and items in the game as if they were real. Its short but sweet. For that reason do not look up any walkthroughs! Save the satisfaction for yourself!! Also this was a good intro to VR game. My aunt said she would just take a look for a minute. She ended up playing this for over a half hour. As a non-gamer everything in this came naturally to her.

Quite good I’d say, even if I wasn’t able to complete it. I love the look of this game, and other similar games like Welcome Home, Love. It’s got that kinda 3d Studio Max, AutoCad kinda look. It might look like old style computer graphics, but the result is always unique compared to today’s soup of store bought bump-mappy assets. They made other games like this, I don’t think I’ve played them, and they might be on the harder side, so if you’re stupid, like me, it could be hard to escape. Physics/object interactions are above average if I recall.

! I like how it’s 8.99 and not 9.99, which shows conscientiousness. https://youtu.be/Wsh7G_MBdv8

Haunting Hour

Haunting Hour

Very beautiful and challenging escape game with nice graphics and a nice story. It still needs some finetuning and polishing and control impovements, but the devs are very responsive and working on it. It is fun to play with your friends and has a great atmosphere. We did not beat it on our first try, but we are looking forward to play it again and complete it.

Pros:

Multiplayer!! incl ingame voicechat

Challanging

Nice voiceacting and music

Very nice level design

Nice story

very affordable

Cons:

Real player with 5.6 hrs in game

The art is beautiful, sound design is wonderful, the script is awesome, but the user experience is frustrating. Sooo much potential!

Problems I’ve gotten frustrated with:

*Held items still have collision. So trying to hold an item, like a book, can be more difficult than you expect it to be when you are near a wall, for example.

*The teleport function requires a twist of the arm, instead of the usual joystick-controlled teleport aim. Something that wouldn’t be too bad if it wasn’t for the next frustration…
