The escape series

Instead of one game, today we will have three. I don´t put too many Escape games because they are all too similar. Besides, I hate to click millions of times looking for a hidden pixel or to solve a illogical puzzle. This series of Escape games, however, designed by Shawn Tanner is perfect: games are simple but challenging, they are beautiful and logical.

The series started with Escape the car. In all the games the premise is the same: don´t bother with why you are trapped, just escape.

The easiest is the second, Escape the closet. It is the only one that has a mystical touch to the game.


The most original and ingenious is Escape the Phone Booth. This one is truly original and was a pleasure to crack.

Estiamted procrastination time:
10 to 20 minutes each

If Crimson Room was the online game that has initiated the Escape the Room game fever, Mistery of Time and Space (MOTAS) revamped the Point and Click games and can be considered the spiritual ancestor of the Crimson Room. MOTAS is actually a series of Escape the Room games that will require a lot of logic for you to progress.
