🔐 Welcome to the Weird
Escape rooms in games aren't just about keys and locks — some take you through psychedelic nightmares, others trap you in twisted realities. Here's a list of the strangest ones we've seen in video games.
1. The Room (Fireproof Games)
Beautifully crafted puzzle boxes with mysterious mechanisms. The game’s Victorian horror vibe and tactile puzzles make it feel like you're cracking open ancient forbidden knowledge.
2. Zero Escape series
A deadly blend of escape room and visual novel, where the puzzles are as brutal as the moral choices. You’re trapped with strangers. Some lie. Some die. And some... aren’t even real.
3. Rusty Lake Hotel / Cube Escape
Welcome to a place where nothing makes sense and everyone has secrets. Taxidermy animals, cryptic rituals, surreal deaths – it's like Twin Peaks got locked in a puzzle box.
4. Danganronpa series
Technically a murder mystery, but the courtroom “escape” segments require logic, reflexes, and a willingness to question everything. And there’s a psychotic teddy bear. That helps.
5. Escape From The Silence
This atmospheric indie horror game traps you inside a dark barn and house full of secrets. Every object can hide something. Every location has a purpose. You’re not just escaping a room – you’re surviving.
6. We Were Here series
Co-op escape rooms where you and your partner are separated and must communicate via walkie-talkie. There’s no way out unless you work together… and maybe trust a little.
7. Portal
Not a traditional escape room, but the entire game is essentially an elaborate puzzle facility with escalating complexity and sinister undertones. GLaDOS is watching.
8. The House Abandon (from Stories Untold)
You sit at a desk playing a text-based horror game… that starts playing back. It bends time, memory, and space in a terrifyingly immersive way.
9. Samsara Room
A free game by Rusty Lake that feels like a meditation on life, death, and the bizarre. With its haunting music and strange metaphors, it's an escape room for your soul.
10. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
You’re in a room with a bomb. Your friends have the manual. You can’t see it. They can’t see the bomb. Good luck not yelling at each other. It’s as chaotic as it is brilliant.
🎁 Bonus: Cambini’s Great Escape
This adorable-yet-eerie web game puts you in the paws of a little creature trying to escape a pastel prison. It’s cute, but unsettling. And way smarter than it looks.
