Each wagon is timed in different ways that you’ll discover. Running out of time means defeat.
The longer you wait, the more difficult it is to see clearly...
Both players will need to interact with each other and focus on their sense. Puzzles will require logic, coordination, observation and listening but most of all: communication!
No time to chitchat. Get out of the trapped train. Every second is counted.
Emy wakes up, trapped in a speeding train filled with traps and enigmatic puzzles. Her only way out? Reach the brake lever of the locomotive to stop the train. Her brother, Johann, on the other end of the phone, is the sole possessor of information that will aid Emy in navigating through the various carriages and escaping from this train. Will you be able to save Emy in time?

New Update – Improved Clue System
Hi everyone,We’ve just rolled out a small update to improve the clue system in How 2 Escape.Previously, players had to send keywords to their companion—but many mistook those keywords as the clues themselves, which led to confusion. To make things clearer, we’ve replaced the keywords with password-style codes (e.g., 785rkb).This change should make it much easier to distinguish between the input and the actual clue, helping you focus on solving puzzles and enjoying the escape experience.Thanks for continuing to play How 2 Escape!Read full article on Community Announcements (Maximum Luke)AnnouncementsOfficial
