Escape is a type of game or activity in which players must solve puzzles or complete tasks in order to proceed to the next level or escape a certain area. It can be either physical or virtual, with the former typically involving a real-life room or environment and the latter using computer software or a mobile application. The main aim is to find a way out of the room, or in the case of virtual escape, to progress through different levels. Types of escape games include escape rooms, escape the room games, point-and-click adventures, text adventures, and escape puzzles. Escape rooms are real-life adventures where players work together to solve puzzles and riddles to escape the room before time runs out. Escape the room games are similar, but are typically created for online or mobile platforms. Point-and-click adventures are similar to escape the room games, but involve more exploration and puzzle solving. Text adventures are text-based games in which players type commands to explore and progress. Escape puzzles are puzzles that must be solved in order to progress.
