Here are some answers to questions you asked us on our discord:

How to synchronize with your mate?
There is no connection required! PC/Console player has to start a new game to get all the information you need to get started together.


On which platforms will the game be released?
The “main game” will be released on PC and major consoles (Switch, PS4|5, Xbox one et series X|S).

The free companion app will be made available on Android & iOS devices. We will also release a PC version of the companion app, for those who prefer to play this way.

Sorry for the MAC players, there's no MAC version planned.


Are there any accessibility options ?
We are currently working on a mode that will let colorblind players enjoy the game as well. It will also be possible to disable the timer for people that prefer a softer experience.


When the game will be available?
How 2 Escape will be released on August 31st 2023!


What languages will be available?
We've localized the game in English, Spanish, German, Portuguese and Italian. More languages might be announced soon so stay tuned!

[h3]Q&A[/h3]

We've prepared a couple of Q&A for you. We'll go in-depth during our live tomorrow!

How long will the full game last ?

We’ve crafted 7 rooms and each one contains about 3 riddles. Depending on your skills and efficiency, this should take from 7 to 9 hours.

Will the riddles change between two playthroughs?

Riddles will keep the same structure. However most of them contain different combinations, meaning that the solution will change from one playthrough to another.

On which platforms will the game be released?

The “main game” will be released on PC and major consoles (Switch, PS4/5, Xbox).
The free companion app will be made available on Android & iOS devices.
We will also release a PC version of the companion app, for those who prefer to play this way.

Are there any accessibility options ?

Yes, we are currently working on a mode that will let colorblind players enjoy the game as well. It will also be possible to disable the timer for people that prefer a softer experience, even if it’s not the way we designed the game to be played.

Thank you!
