Escape Simulator: Beginner’s Guide – Tips, Tricks, & Strategies
Most players look for a puzzle escape room game that allows them to move around, examine, and search everything freely. Escape Simulator is a game that has it all, including the ability to break locks and smash pots in order to make your way to the exit.
However, if you’re new to the game, there are certain challenges you’ll face, and therefore, we’ve compiled here a beginner’s guide and some tricks to help you on your journey.
Beginner’s Guide:
The Startup:
The game starts with adventures like separate maps. Some adventures are currently available, such as Labyrinth of Egypt, Edgewood Manor, and Adrift in Space. When choosing one, you will have to go through five rooms, and the difficulty will increase with each room. Yes, you have the option to choose a room based on the level of frustration you can get.
Time:
In the Escape Simulator, it is important to note that time is the only achievement and not a real necessity. In simple words, it means that you can continue even after the time limit, but the more delayed it is, the fewer achievements you will get.
Tokens:
These are game extras, not the main part. If you’re looking for some adventure in the game, go no further than the room. So you don’t have to get much more frustrated to find these tokens; simply completing the room is enough. The following are some hints and tips to help you find the tokens in the game.
Things might not be as they seem:
The main part of Escape Simulator is that you might never know if the puzzle is simply straight/easy or hard to come by. You might be looking at everything in detail, but it just might be a simple thing like putting the key inside the lock.
Build your Puzzle:
Having a Steam Community for the Escape Simulator means there is a free space for people to build their puzzle rooms and let others join in too. It isn’t that hard to make a room and build various puzzles to get out. The system works on the logic chains in understandable ways, but you will have to work on the item placement.
Hints:
In each room, some hints lead to the escape route. You’ll have to figure them out for yourself, but keep in mind that a single hint might be used multiple times in some cases.
Token Tips:
Each room contains eight tokens, as previously mentioned. We’ll go over each of them separately in this section.
