Evaluation

Escape Simulator launched on October 19, 2021 and has received an exceptional volume of post-launch content. Since launch, Pine Studio has shipped 9 paid DLC packs, multiple major free updates (including Treasure Island in June 2023, a Versus competitive mode in August 2023, full VR integration in April 2024, a Detective's Office room in May 2025, and the Spy DLC in September 2025), as well as platform expansions to Meta Quest in October 2024 and Xbox/Game Pass in May 2026. This establishes a very strong, sustained pattern of major content releases roughly every 2–4 months across multiple years. On April 9, 2026, Pine Studio posted a development status update announcing that Somnium Games has joined the team, growing the studio to 28 developers. The post explicitly states this growth "allows us to keep supporting ES1 and ES2 with high-quality content" — a direct, unambiguous commitment to continued development of the original game. This is the clearest possible signal: the developer is actively expanding its team specifically to sustain support for Escape Simulator. The most recent developer communication was June 8, 2026 — just one week before today's assessment date — with a multiplayer infrastructure update. The developer has shown no signs of winding down support. All 11 listed DLC items have been released, but given the studio's explicit commitment and consistent release cadence, the absence of a currently announced next DLC does not indicate completion. Escape Simulator 2 launched in October 2025, and Pine Studio has been transparent that both games will continue to receive support simultaneously.

About this game

Escape Simulator is a first-person puzzler you can play solo or in an online co-op. Explore a growing set of highly interactive escape rooms. Move furniture, pick up and examine everything, smash pots and break locks! Supports community-made rooms through the level editor.

Interactive Puzzles: Rummage through 28 rooms filled with puzzles designed by real-life escape room operators. If something is not nailed to the wall, you can pick it up.

Online Co-Op: All the rooms are playable in an online co-op. We recommend to play built-in rooms with up to 3 players (but you're welcome to play with more). Community rooms have been tested with up to 10 people. Customize your character and join with friends to work-out puzzles together. More heads are better than one!

Examine Everything: Read through books, examine ancient artifacts and find clues to riddles. Need to cross-reference a clue? No, problem - just pin it to the screen.

Community-Made Rooms: The game includes a room editor with which you can design your own escape rooms and puzzles. Through workshop integration, you get to play awesome things the community has created. Currently, there are more than 4000 community-rooms available!

The rooms are arranged into packs:

Labyrinth of Egypt
"You and your mentor discovered the ancient Labyrinth of Egypt. By accident, he activated a trap, and you got separated, with no way out in sight."

Adrift in Space
"An explosion wakes you up. Your spaceship has been hit by debris, and you're heading straight into the sun."

Edgewood Mansion
"You were invited to attend a special dinner at Dr. Edgewood's mansion. Instead of eating food, you'll be solving a victorian mystery."

Omega Corporation
"Your friend disappeared while investigating the mysterious Omega Corporation. Follow their tracks and uncover the truth."

Extras
Escape Aperture Science Laboratories in a Portal themed room, escape the iconic Among Us spaceship, find a way out of Santa's Workshop, play with Cats in Time, visit a spooky Graveyard, a funky 70's Room, escape Leonardo da Vinci's workshop, find the pirate treasure on The Island, and in our latest room you can finally play Versus your friends!
