About the 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.
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!

Version Information
Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
Hey everyone,
This small update adds beta support for Steam Frame, Valve’s upcoming VR device. It should already run smoothly, and we’ll keep improving support as the hardware gets closer to release.
We’ve also made several optimizations across rooms to improve overall performance.
Happy escaping,
-Pine team
Hey everyone,
We found out that some players were having connection and multiplayer issues because the new AiProtection on some ASUS routers was falsely detecting and blocking our server.
To work around this, we moved our multiplayer services to a completely new server. This seems to have fixed the issue, at least for now.
Thank you all for your patience, reports, and support while we looked into this.
Changelog:
Changed code server to a new one that isn't blocked by AI firewalls
Improved cross-platform compatibility between different game versions
Added a progress bar when installing rooms from the mod.io Community tab
Fixed various bugs in the mod.io Community tab

Hey everyone!
We just released a small hotfix for yesterday’s Xbox update.
This one is mostly about making sure everything runs smoothly after the big release. We fixed a few cross-platform and multiplayer issues, improved how versions are handled between platforms, and cleaned up some small lobby/UI problems.
Full list:
Improved cross-platform multiplayer stability
Improved the versioning system between platforms
Fixed a UI bug in the lobby
Fixed a multiplayer issue when playing Workshop rooms
Improved Mod.io room curation
Added a few new bugs to fix later :)
Have fun!
Hey everyone!
We just released a new Escape Simulator update with a bunch of fixes and optimizations, especially for Community Rooms. They should now use less RAM and run more smoothly.
But the big news is: cross-platform multiplayer now supports XBOX! 🎉
Escape Simulator is out now on Xbox, Xbox Game Pass, Windows PC Store, and PC Game Pass, so you can now play with your Xbox friends too. (Go tell them about the game! 🫶)

We also released a new trailer for the Xbox launch:

Calling all room builders!
Now that Escape Simulator is on Xbox, it would be great to see more of your rooms on mod.io, so Xbox players and players outside Steam can try them too.
Publishing your room to mod.io is very quick and takes less than a minute:
Go to the Workshop
Click on your room
Click Publish
Before clicking the final Publish button, select the mod.io option
That’s it! Your room can now reach more players across platforms.
If you don’t have your room saved locally, you’ll first need to download it from Steam Workshop before publishing it to mod.io. Here’s a quick video (60 sec) showing how to do it:

Thank you!
Escape Simulator started here on Steam, and it grew because of you: the players, builders, streamers, guide makers, reviewers, and everyone who supported our work.
We’re really happy to welcome even more players into the escape.

Hello, Escapers!
It’s a big day at Pine Studio. We have some exciting news about our team, a brand-new free room for you to play right now, and a look at what’s coming next for both Escape Simulator 1 and 2!
🤝 Our Family is Growing: Somnium Games Joins Pine!
We are thrilled to announce that our long-time friends and collaborators at Somnium Games have officially joined the Pine Studio family!
If you’ve enjoyed the Magic DLC, you’ve already played their work. By bringing our teams together, we now have 28 developers working across the Escape Simulator franchise. This growth is exactly what allows us to keep supporting ES1 and ES2 with high-quality content.
🎨 New Free Room: Inked (Available Now!)
To celebrate this news, we’ve just released a brand-new free room inspired by Somnium's award-winning game, Inked: A Tale of Love.
Step into a world made entirely of "paper and ink." This room features a beautiful hand-drawn art style and offers a calm, atmospheric escape experience. It’s available now for solo play or co-op with up to 8 friends!
(Note to Meta Quest VR players: You’re getting a double drop today! Both the Inked and Treasure Island rooms are now live in your headsets!)
🖊️ Love the style? Check out the original game!
If you enjoy the vibe of this new room, we highly recommend checking out the game that inspired it: Inked: A Tale of Love. It’s a very personal, beautiful puzzle-adventure, and to celebrate today's news, it is currently on sale!

🌍 Share Your Creations Everywhere (mod.io Beta)
As we work on bringing Escape Simulator to consoles and mobile, we want to make sure your incredible community-made rooms can be enjoyed by everyone, everywhere.
We are officially launching the mod.io integration beta!
Cross-Platform: Your rooms can now reach players on other platforms.
One-Click Setup: Link your Steam name with a single click in-game.
You’re in Control: We will never automatically upload your work. You decide what to publish to mod.io directly from the Room Editor.
🗺️ What’s Next for Escape Simulator?
We know you're curious about the future. While we are moving away from rigid roadmaps to focus on quality and team well-being, we have big plans for the rest of the year:
For ES1: We are currently working on one more free room and a brand-new DLC!
For ES2: Development is moving fast! We have 2 free rooms, a first DLC, and major VR progress happening right now. Read more about Escape Sim 2 development in our latest post here.
Summer Building Competition: Get your tools ready—our next big competition for builders is coming this summer!
Thank you for being such an amazing community. We can’t wait to see you solve (and build) what’s coming next!
