[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!
Breakfirst & Just For Games teams!

In How 2 Escape, players will have to talk and collaborate to find the solution: one player, trying to escape, will play on a computer or console and the second, trying to help the first player, will play on a phone with the free dedicated companion app.

Internet is NOT required to play: whether you are in the same room, on the phone or on a chat app, anything works to play How 2 Escape together!

The only rule: It's a game that relies on communication, so talk to one another and keep your screen for yourself!
