The Room, The Room Two, The Room Three, The Room: Old Sins, The Room VR: A Dark Matter Now, I only have one game left - is it too soon to start replaying all the games? If you play all the games, you’ll start to see repeats of the same puzzles I found myself enjoying the games that have unique mechanics, for example, “Painted Worlds” requires you to collect paint and use a brush to bring parts of the scene to life.ĭespite a few small flaws, I love these games and will recommend them to anyone looking for a good mobile escape game. I recommend a paper and pencil for these ones - unless you are a great memorizer! There is a lot to keep track of and if you don’t complete a chapter before closing the app, you’ll have to start that chapter over. You can earn your hints by collecting stars in-scene, but can elect to pay for more stars as well. Luckily, most of the solutions, even when difficult, I found to be logical there is instant and clear feedback when you are correct. Haiku Games’ offerings fall under the classic style of mobile escape, which means they can drop into the common pitfall of tapping all over the screen in order to find that one little thing you’ve missed. It is 9 games in one, including some of Haiku Games’ newest offerings, and two of their classic games. The high point for Haiku Games is the variety of themes and storylines, from investigating a cult to solving a crisis in space! There are even some returning characters, such as Detective Kate Grey, who you take the role of to investigate that aforementioned cult.Įach game falls under different levels of challenge, but I recommend starting with the Adventure Escape Mysteries game.


Haiku’s Adventure escapes games are some of the first mobile games I discovered - and I proceeded to play them all. I can’t wait to play the sequel!Īndroid, iOS, Amazon Fire - Free, in game purchases Altogether, this game captured me immediately and succeeds in being an exemplary blend of puzzles, setting, sound, interaction, and more. The puzzles themselves erred on the side of easy, especially at the beginning of the game, however, the touch screen aspect can be touchy, and I found myself stuck and frustrated when I didn’t quite move something into the perfect place.

The hint system can guide you when you need it, without being intrusive, and timed access to those hints stop you from speedrunning the game. The House of Davinci features immersive sound and a clear story that doesn’t feel too linear. Yet, there are some clever mechanics that would be impossible in a physical room, making this game stand out as a unique experience. A touch and drag system requires you to actually open doors and turn handles. There are a great deal of excellent online and mobile escape games, but are you, like me, always wishing you could reach out and touch those beautiful drawings?Īside from the captivating setting, House of Da Vinci’s shining moment is interactivity.
