“The game is fun and some of the puzzles are quite hard, but its just play onetime and forget about it. Coop mode is just the same as single player and you can literally do everything alone and dont need your partner.…”

“It's a great collection of escape rooms with a storyline to tie it all together. It's a bit silly, but it does not try to take itself too seriously.”
“I like logic games, so I would recommed it. Like the unique style of it and the storytelling as well. Definitely not expect to have it some story and twist in this game. And you can also play it with local multiplayer,…”

“Maybe this is because I've been spoiled by lots of great puzzle games and lots of great real-life escape rooms, but the puzzles and escape rooms in this puzzle-type escape room game are only ok. Lots of nonsense "just…”
“I can recommend this game, but only barely. The puzzles were entertaining, but the writing is terrible and the characters are either bland or annoying. Purchase only when it's on sale.”

“The game is very short. The puzzles are pretty simple, but various. The story is terrible. Plot twist is predictable. The only good thing about the story is Jeb Jebowsky (pozdrawiam). Overall 4/10 👍”

“Did the Tournament of Puzzles with a friend, and every single level is the same 2 puzzles just repeated over and over again. Those dumb ass refraction puzzles just repeated 17 times in one level. No originality, just…”

“Most of the Puzzles are really easy but there is a good variety, so it's more of a casual escape room collection The writing isn't that great, but i really dig the character designs and artworks (not so much how they got translated in 3D) even with it's quirks i still reccomend…”
