How to start an online escape game
Want to try an escape game but unsure how it works? Choose a story you find interesting. Read its short introduction and look at the scene before rushing to solve anything.
An escape game links several puzzles into one story. Look closely at each scene, collect clues and test your ideas. You only need a browser and a verified account.
Three practical tips
- Read the mission from start to finish. It tells you what you are trying to achieve and which clues might matter.
- Write down unusual numbers, places and names. A small detail from an earlier scene may become useful later.
- Start with a simple theory. If it fails, look at the clue from a different angle rather than guessing at random.
Alpine Escape and Gotthard Code offer different settings. Pick the story that appeals to you and start at your own pace.
