Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School builds on the puzzle-solving experience of the first installment, this time with an open world explorable campus filled with hidden traps and puzzles, online and split-screen couch co-op support, and an all-new mysterious narrative.Welcome to Escape Academy, the world’s foremost clandestine educator in the art of Escape. Whether you’re a returning student or a new pupil, you’ve come to the right place. Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School evolves the escape room format of the first game into a whole new GENRE: This is the first open world escape room game, and it's available right in the comfort of your own home.
Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School features an all-new campaign boasting handcrafted, best-in-class escape rooms built by our team of veteran puzzle designers. But unlike real-life escape rooms, the puzzles in Escape Academy aren’t bound by those stuffy safety regulations: Spiked ceilings? Check. 100 foot drops? Check. And, most-dreaded of all… Final exams? Double check.
The curriculum here at the Academy is equal parts life-threatening and wacky, because what better way to learn than while confronting one's mortality.
In Escape Academy 2, the campus is one big puzzle room. Between classes, explore a sprawling, secret-filled hub with mysterious passage ways, hidden tunnels, and dangerous traps. Or chill out with your pals and take in all the *vibes* that student life has to offer.
Whatever the case, the Academy’s your new home away from home.
Escaping with a friend has never been this fun. Escape Academy 2 features both online and split screen couch co-op support. And thanks to the new optional No-Timer Mode, students of all backgrounds can puzzle at their preferred pace.
Welcome back to campus!
