Escape Room Inspirations: Flash Games

The term "Escape Room" has been around a while. Basically it refers to a class of adventure game that throws the player into a small trapped environment. They have to use the objects in the room to solve logic based puzzles to eventually escape said environment. The term originates in the early 2000's with games based on the Adobe Flash player on PC's. These games were usually short and to the point. No real story or fluff to them. They were great little time wasters that quickly became a genre all their own. Soon these games started to evolve and finally made the jump off the screen and into many cities around the world. Who knew being locked in a room would be so much fun! The real games are actually called Real Escape Room Games but everyone just calls them "escape rooms".

It's past Halloween! Why aren't you open yet?

Our goal when we started this venture was to open on or before Halloween. October 31st seems to be the big day for escape room games. We obviously missed our target date, but for good reason. We are cooking up something awesome! I am bummed that we missed such a cool day to open but I did not want to rush what we have in store for our guests. We will be unveiling some of our secrets soon.

Can you escape the Boiler Room?

You find yourself in another room with no windows and only one locked door. There seems to be many of those around here! The door must be powered by a nearby control panel. You look at the panel and find a note. It seems the connections are all scrambled. Maybe if you fix all the connections, the door will power up and you can escape!

Can you escape the parking lot? It is not what you think it is.

Here we go again. You are stuck in another highly unlikely situation beset upon you by some unknown antagonist. This time, you are chained to a light post and need to find your way out. Why does this keep happening to you? This has gone far beyond the "fool my twice shame on me" adage, keep this up and you may need therapy. If this was real life, you would have skipped town 2 puzzles ago.

Can you escape your boss

Almost every escape game I have ever played made use of the ripped up message puzzle at some point. Some games used pages of a journal that were ripped out and left as breadcrumbs for the player. Really? Who does that? Why would anyone rip out pages of their diary and leave them in conspicuous places all around the place? The funny thing is, this has become such a trend that players have learned not to question it anymore. We kind of just understand this is how we learn more of the story.

Escape Game Inspirations: The Goonies

We all have those movies from our childhood that we really don't remember when we first saw them. For me, they are: The Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Wars, and, The Goonies. I have those movies basically memorized. In a way, they are a part of me now. I really do not remember a time when I could pick up anything that resembled a sword and not hear "I am your father" in my brain. Or any time I was running down a hallway and didn't imagine I was dodging invisible poison darts. These movies and several others have a high place in my childhood memories.

Can you escape the basement? Take the quick test.

When I was an Adobe Flash developer, I made tons of small games. Around 2003 there came this trend in flash games, the Escape The Room games. They were a fun compact take on the adventure game craze of the 80's and 90's. I fell in love with the concept. I immediately started only making escape the room games for a couple years. They were so much fun to make. If only I knew then that I would be building a lot of those cool ideas in real life. One of my games was an Escape The Basement game. I took a piece of that game, updated the graphics, and posted it in the puzzles section. Escape If You Dare!

Escape Game Inspirations: Myst The PC Game

Welcome to a series of posts I am dedicating to the many things in my life that I have drawn upon for inspiration in my escape room game designs. It was a really hard list to nail down, and I may end up updating it as I write these. I felt it would be a good idea to share the many games, movies, and life experiences that rattle around in my head when I start to draft out a puzzle. This list may just end up becoming another breadcrumb trail I can meander down when I am seeking the ever elusive spark that generates an interesting puzzle.
