The latest Xbox Indie Showcase was quite eventful indeed. Among other things, we were also introduced to a brand new puzzle adventure that will be published by iam8bit. The title is Escape Academy, and based on what we can see so far, the game looks very promising.



Developed by Coin Crew Games, Escape Academy will test both your intuition and your adaptation as you try to solve the game’s different puzzles in order to escape a variety of disturbing confinements. To succeed in your mission, you’ll need to work under pressure, you’ll need to have an eye for detail, a nose for exploration, and some lateral thinking as well.


Coin Crew have already designed several real-life Escape Room scenarios, so you can expect a truly authentic experience. And just like their real-life counterparts, the game will have a running narrative revolving around a team of escapists who eventually end up in a high-stakes situation way beyond what they initially expected. A real bummer indeed.



Escape Academy is coming to Xbox, PlayStation, PC, and Nintendo Switch. It will also be available on Xbox Game Pass since day 1. Make sure you check out the trailer while you’re here:
