Not interested in anything but the executive summary? Here it is. I’ve stated what’s required to play each game, but haven’t rigorously checked each game for smartphone compatibility – let me know if you find games that don’t work on your device.Īnd of course we also have a full list of play-from-home games of all sorts. Play time estimates are my guess at what enthusiast players should expect, not the game’s official stated length. Most escape room companies badly need every bit of support they can get right now. Please consider supporting their creators in whatever way you can – whether that’s by donating, putting something in their tip jar, buying a gift voucher, or just following their social media or sharing their game. These are of course just my subjective opinions – if you disagree, click through to the game and leave your own review/rating.Īlthough I’ve listed these games as free, many are actually provided on a ‘pay what you can’ basis. So in this guide I haven’t put star ratings, and have labelled the games I enjoyed as ‘fun’, ‘recommended’ or ‘highly recommended’.

On the other hand, there are some real gems here and I want to make sure those aren’t lost in the crowd. When a company puts out a game for free, particularly at a time when the entire industry is struggling, is it fair to rate those games in the (often harsh) way I’d normally rate escape games? I have no wish to belittle games created for our entertainment with no thought of profit. I binge-played over 50 of them, and (after recovering) have put together a quick summary of each of them. In the time of corona, many escape room creators have been busy creating online games, and many of them have generously made their games available at no charge.
