Escape room online game

Digital escape room games have exploded in popularity recently, as people explore the best ways to turn the fun of an escape room into something you can do from home. A lot of these games are free to play, or accept pay-what-you-can donations, so if you’re looking for cheap things to do from home that also involve puzzles, look no further! Here’s a roundup of some of the best free online escape games we’ve played.

Escape From Home

  • The best Online Escape Room games on the internet! Play, solve puzzles, explore exciting adventures and become immersed and solve mysteries while also ranking against fellow escape artists!
  • Escape rooms are a team game approach in which participants are locked in a room and must solve a series of puzzles to get out of it. In general, there is a countdown, always visible to everyone, that marks the time, so that once it expires, you lose if it has escaped us.
  • Play Massive Multiplayer Online Games! Compete and win awards. Living Room Escape. Angry Gran Run: Miami. Doll House Escape.

Play here • Length: 10-30 minutes each • Difficulty: Easy

This is a series of three quick games from Escape From Home, an Egyptian tomb, a pirate adventure, and a mysterious trip around the world. They’re linked together by a shared premise: you’re travelling through a mysterious wardrobe in your attic, only to find yourself in the middle of a puzzling situation. Work out the passcode on each page and enter it to access the next part of the adventure. Keep an eye on the format for entering answers — it can be a bit fiddly, sometimes requiring numbers as digits and sometimes as words.

The Egyptian Escape and A Pirate’s Problem are quick and easy games to get started with. Global Gateway is a little bit trickier, and uses a few more different types of media, including an audio puzzle and one that involves doing some origami.

Virtual Escape Rooms. Remote Adventures are virtual escape rooms in a new, exciting, and fresh format. You’ll get all the fun and adventure of a regular escape room from anywhere in the world. It’s a great option for remote team building or playing an online game with a group of friends or family!.All games are in English.

Harry Potter Escape Room Online Game

Marty and the Thief in the Night

Escape Room Online Games Free

Escape Room Online Game

Play here • Length: 10-20 minutes • Difficulty: Easy

This short game offers a sequence of four puzzles to solve, in order to work out the details of a break in. It’s well-designed, with a polished interface, and it features perhaps the best character of any game on this list: Marty, a guard dog sporting some extremely cool sunglasses. One of the puzzles is a memory challenge, so don’t cheat!

Escape Room Herndon: Potter’s Escape Game

Top 50 Escape Games

Play here • Length: 45-60 mins • Difficulty: Medium

This is a lovely sequence of twelve puzzles following the plot of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Solutions will either be numbers or words/phrases (although it doesn’t tell you beforehand whether the solution you’re looking for will be letters or numbers, so figuring out what you’re supposed to be solving for adds to the challenge!). You can solve the majority of the puzzles online, but one of them is tricky to do without printing it out. This is a good collection of puzzles, some easier and some trickier, set in a nicely designed interface. Note that the game contains spoilers for the plot of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, if that’s something that anyone at all cares about in 2020.

Medogan

Play here • Length: 60-120 minutes • Difficulty: Easy/Medium

Medogan, by Modern Fables, is part escape game and part text-adventure story. It’s a beautifully designed game with a lot of narrative, drawing the player into some immersive worldbuilding. There are currently two parts, each one taking roughly an hour to complete — and, in a nice change of pace from many escape games, you won’t want to rush while you’re playing it. Instead, take your time and explore every bizarre, charming, slightly-sinister detail of the weird idyllic town that the game lands you in. The puzzle elements aren’t particularly difficult, though they’re enough of a challenge to keep you occupied. Where Medogan really stands out, though, is in the creativity of the design.

Google Forms games

The rest of our recommended games are examples of a different style for free online escape games. Rather than being playable in browser or built into a website, they’re playable via Google Forms — make progress through the game by entering the correct answers into the form.

Escape room online game with friends

Hogwarts Digital Escape Room (Peters Township Public Library)

Escape room online game free

Play here • Length: 10-15 minutes • Difficulty: Easy

This is a short game (about 15 minutes), and correspondingly easy. It uses multiple-choice options for answers, which makes it easy to crack or reverse-engineer puzzles, so for a better escape room-style experience we recommend trying to solve the puzzle before looking at the answer options.

Harry Potter Digital Escape Room (UTS Quidditch Society)

Play here • Length: 60-90 minutes • Difficulty: Medium

Escape Room Online Game Free

Yet another Harry Potter-themed game, this is a step up in pretty much every sense. It’s much longer, much more challenging, and much nerdier. This game is definitely one for Harry Potter lovers, leading through you a long and intricate adventure that draws heavily on the source material for its theming — one of the puzzles requires you to have a print edition of Prisoner of Azkaban on hand in order to solve it. The puzzles are a bit hit or miss: some of them dragged a little or were easy to crack, but some are great fun. This game’s strength is its use of the format: there are no multiple choice answers, and the first part of the game breaks the mold for online escape games in allowing you to explore the puzzles in any order, rather than requiring all the answers to be sequential.

Escape Room Online Games

Spy Apprentice Digital Escape Room (Washington-Centerville Public Library)

Play here • Length: 30-60 minutes • Difficulty: Tricky

This is a medium-length game (30-60 minutes), with some very difficult puzzles. A couple of the puzzles could have been better hinted, but the vast majority are very well-designed, and hard enough for anyone looking for a challenge. The game also handles the ‘online’ part of ‘online escape game’ well, managing to integrate links to relevant books and webpages in a way that isn’t clunky and doesn’t break the theming.

Welcome to your new source of escape games! These games are sometimes tricky, sometimes frustrating and sometimes pretty obvious in terms of what you should be looking for. Escape games usually contain a puzzle to solve and some items to pick up in order to make a room escape. A typical starting point could be a place where it seems like its impossible to break out from, a dungeon for example, but after a while you would find out that its possible. Escape games are sometimes referred to as escape the room games.
