Escape Academy invites players to follow in the footsteps of extraordinary Escapists, puzzling their way through a variety of team-based, exploration and time-pressure challenges, created specifically to bring the mystery, intrigue and fun of brick-and-mortar escape rooms into players’ homes.

Set in a secret world, players find themselves swept up by the mysteries of Escape Academy, a training ground for individuals with roguish skills suited to the “art of escape.” These new recruits must puzzle their way through deadly challenges set forth by zany and charismatic professors to secure their place among the legendary “Escapists.” Filled with shocking twists and turns, players will navigate through high stakes escape rooms, ultimately uncovering a threat they could have never imagined.

Coin Crew Games, co-founded by Wyatt Bushnell and Mike Mohammed Salyh, has deep roots in designing real-world experiences that blend immersive gameplay with a keen focus on group interaction. Bushnell has built attractions for amusement parks and arcades including the tech-infused Two Bit Circus, which features massive escape rooms, and Salyh has designed games for Disney, Zynga and Two Bit Circus. Once Wyatt and Mike met, they subsequently became business partners after they were contracted to create an IRL escape room experience together.

iam8bit and Skybound Games have teamed up with the creative masterminds at Coin Crew Games to bring Escape Academy: The Complete Edition to Nintendo Switch, which includes Escape from Anti-Escape Island DLC and the upcoming Escape from the Past DLC.

The mystery continues on in Escape Academy's second Expansion Pack, Escape from the Past, a prequel that spans five new rooms and even more whodunit action with Academy students Sandra Solange and Eel Barnes as they join the unstoppable team of master Escapists we meet in Escape Academy.

“The feedback we received the most from players was more, more, more,” said Coin Crew Games co-founder Wyatt Bushnell. “We’ve been working tirelessly on delivering that. This version of the game is jam packed with puzzles of every difficulty level and new storylines.”

Currently available for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5 and PC (Steam / Epic Games Store), Escape Academy: The Complete Edition is coming to Nintendo Switch in Fall 202 at $29.99.
