Play alone or with others as you explore escape rooms set in Dracula’s Castle, a stranded starship, and a pirate island. Each theme contains four rooms, with puzzles and mysteries tied to its setting.
Search each area for clues and useful objects, then inspect, combine, and manipulate what you find to solve mechanisms and open new spaces. Optional hints can guide you when you get stuck, and interactive objects can be picked up and examined.
Online co-op supports up to eight players with voice and text chat. Optional collectibles and harder versions of room puzzles add extra challenges, while Room Editor 2.0 provides tools for creating custom rooms with structures, lighting, and animations.
Many reviewers praise the creative puzzles and the satisfaction of connecting clues, and often describe the rooms as detailed and immersive. Players who enjoy collaborating value discussing solutions with friends, while others highlight the room editor and community-made levels. Criticism varies: some find particular puzzles unclear or uneven, report friction or technical problems in co-op, or want more official rooms. Collectible hunts and the realistic art style also divide opinions, and several reviewers raise concerns about suspected AI use in artwork.
Escape Simulator 2 is the sequel to the best-selling escape room game. With immersive new environments, deeper puzzles, and innovative builder tools, it’s the ultimate first person escape room experience.
Explore new locations crafted with the help of escape room experts and legendary community builders. Each room pack contains four rooms filled with intricate puzzles and hidden mysteries:
Dracula’s Castle: Step into the shadowy fortress, uncover its secrets, and free the town from a dark curse.
Starship EOS: An exploration vessel is stranded after a collision, forcing you to retrieve an energy source from a mysterious dark sphere.
The Cursed Treasure: Follow a cryptic map to a pirate island, overcome treacherous trials, and claim the ancient treasure.
With more content coming soon after the release!
The game is designed for both solo play and multiplayer with friends. Up to 8 players can join together online, with built-in voice and text chat for easy puzzle-solving communication.
When you step into Escape Simulator 2, we want it to feel like you’re walking into a real-life escape room. Every detail is designed for interactivity—you can pick up and examine objects, wipe away dirt, drive vehicles, take a seat wherever you like, and move anything that’s not bolted down.
Create your dream escape rooms with the updated Room Editor 2.0! After seeing over 4,000 rooms built in the first game, we’ve made the tools even more powerful and intuitive. The new lighting engine makes your rooms look more like the official rooms, the Building Editor lets you design rooms (with working stairs!), and you can bring everything to life with Sequence animations.
Why a sequel?
A sequel gives us a fresh start and lets us push the limits of the genre further. We were inspired to explore darker escape room themes and experiment with new gameplay and puzzle ideas. Splitting from the original game let us focus on improving key features like rendering, networking, physics, and animations.
Will Escape Simulator still get updates?
Yes! With the recent Mayan DLC and more content on the way, we’ll continue supporting the original game while expanding its reach to new platforms.
Is it scary?
While Escape Simulator 2 is darker and has a more mysterious vibe, it’s not a horror game. The game also doesn’t feature any jump scares or gore.
