Escape Games are a genre of video games where the player must find a way to escape a location. These games are a subgenre of puzzle games as the act of escaping involves finding clues and solving puzzles. Escape games inspired escape rooms, the real-world counterpart to escape games. Often players are placed in a fictional scenario with a theme like a bathroom, prison cell, museum, or alternative locations. In some cases, the area to escape is limited to one room or area. More often, the escape space is more than one room and the player can navigate between locations.
Typically, an escape game starts with a brief story and some information to get the player started. Then, players must look for clues and items that are used to unlock new areas. The ultimate goal is to escape the confined area and make it to safety. There may be a system to offer hints to stuck players.
