Escape room experience Escape Academy is free to claim in the Epic Games Store

The Epic Games Store is back with another freebie as part of its long-running weekly giveaway. The latest offer replaces last week’s offer Rebellion giveaway with Escape Academyan escape room experience with solo and multiplayer options. If you’ve been following store giveaways for a while, you may already have the title in your library from a previous offer.

Developed by Coin Crew Games, Escape Academy have you enrolled in a unique school that specializes in training escapists. To complete your training, the school and its teachers put you through hand-crafted escape rooms with a ton of puzzles. They are also designed by real experts in the field.

Also, two-player co-op play is a feature here, letting players tackle the many rooms together with a friend. In a post-launch update, the game also received a head-to-head puzzle-solving competitive arena mode. Both online and local split-screen play is supported.

Some of the available puzzle rooms are these:

• Join a Tea ‘N Tea Party – Can you defuse the bomb before your peaceful cup of tea goes cold? Your character (and physical well-being) depends on it!
• Hack the Professor – Solve a quantifiably frantic series of challenges to prove to the academy’s super AI that you have what it takes to become an escapist.
• Go for the Gold – Represent your class in everyone’s favorite sporting event, The Rival Room. Go toe-to-toe against your nemesis in a puzzle game to prove who is top of the class.
• don’t drink! – Being at the bottom of a puzzle tower that quickly fills with water is NOT ideal. Scrabble your way to the top for that sweet, sweet oxygen.
• Spray Paint the Monument – Art class is no Easy-A at the Academy. Make your mark on the historic Monument of Escape, but uh… hurry! The principal did not exactly approve the lesson plan.

The Escape Academy giveaway in the Epic Games Store is now live and it is expected to end on Thursday, January 23 at 8:00 a.m. PT. When not on sale, the game normally costs $19.99 to purchase.
