Very new concept - but SO enjoyable. You have to figure out little cognitive puzzles in order to progress through the game. Some are SO simple as to elude you, but keep at it. Pay attention to COLOR clues.

I recommend this game!

Like many reviewers, my initial impression (based on the graphics and simplicity of the first few rooms) was that this was a game for young children. WRONG! As you progress, you will encounter rooms that require math, science, foreign language skills, and so much more. It is also a LONG game!! And, if you get so deep into playing that you lose track of time, fear not, for the clever developers ...Show more

Like many reviewers, my initial impression (based on the graphics and simplicity of the first few rooms) was that this was a game for young children. WRONG! As you progress, you will encounter rooms that require math, science, foreign language skills, and so much more. It is also a LONG game!! And, if you get so deep into playing that you lose track of time, fear not, for the clever developers have made it so the clock in each room is running and displaying what time it is where you are!

Don't take things at face value! I found that being curious and not jumping too quickly to conclusions were the key (no pun intended) to figuring out many of the most complex rooms.

The only downside is the lack of a skip option. Like at least one other reviewer stated, I had the same problem with hand/mouse coordination on a few rooms and had to ask my husband to complete those or else I would not be able to continue playing. Serious error by the developers!

I hope this game will start a new and regular trend in BFG offerings, and that we get more from these clever developers! It is a refreshing and much needed change to the standard offerings. Show less

I recommend this game!

fromThis game brings back memories of high school. Just wish I would have known some of the methods within this game to escape some of the boring classes I had in days of yore.

Wow! what a fantastic surprise! I am an escape room aficionada having spent many an hour with friends at a local one in my area. My buds and I have spent more than a few hours scratching our heads attempting to solve brain-crushing puzzles under a time crunch at this establishment ! Luckily, this game does not have a time element. The player has all the time in the world figure out how to unlock each door in this game.

LOGIC IS THE KEY TO OPENING THE DOORS: This is a puzzle lover’s dream game. This game is based on the logistics of the escape room arcades situated in many cities and towns. In this case the player must escape through one-hundred forty (140) doors within a school, moving from one classroom to another. To escape each room, the player must survey the scene and search for clues on how to unlock the door to leave. The player must interact with the room. Most involve some type of puzzle or searching for a key or items to unlock this door.

The puzzles I played involved matching, searching for lock combinations and collecting items to create something to open the door. There are also scenes which involve shaking items, breaking items and moving or uncovering items to find a key. As you progress in the game, the puzzles become more difficult to solve. However, there are hints given throughout the game to help navigate the scenes.

Do not let the simplistic graphics fool you in this game! This game will require some skills in deduction to see the association of the items within the room and how they can be combined and/or used to unlock each door. There is a full screen and windowed version, and the graphics are drawn so that items which are needed are fully visible and not difficult to see. The player can restart the level if they wish and there is a hint button if the level proves to difficult to solve.

FINAL NOTE: I do not play nor review daily games, being more interested in the HOPA games from this gaming site. However, this genre is one of my favorites and this is one I have been wanting to play for some time. I have not completed the game; however, from the levels I have played, I have not been disappointed and looking forward to playing the remainder of the game. I for one would love to see more of these escape room games on this site and perhaps a F2P one as well, Show less

I recommend this game!

A very different concept and whilst, like other reviewers I initially thought the game looked simple, it was fantastic and really stretched your thinking. I loved the mix of skills required to solve some of the puzzles and often had to come back to a puzzle to solve it.

I highly recommend this to engage your brain and keep you amused for several hours.

Now I want more games like this.

I recommend this game!

This is an easy, calming mind teaser game. No rush or mad clicking, just thinking. There is a hint button if you get stumped but I like the challenge of figuring it out. A fun little game.

this game is challenging for some of us who have a difficult time putting 2 and 2 together. lol My brain just does not work that way. I am pretty good at alot of mini games and puzzles but this one for me is a challenge. And so for a time that we need to work our brains in different ways to exercise it, this is perfect for me. Try it out for yourself.

I recommend this game!

As the others have said, this game really makes you think, but it feels really good when you get a confusing level on the first try. You have to read the clues very closely because the devil's in the details, and often you have to manipulate something before you can come up with the code to get out. The only problem I had is that I couldn't move quickly enough in some levels to be able to get the ...Show more

The only problem I had is that I couldn't move quickly enough in some levels to be able to get the task accomplished without my hand getting sore enough to have to quit. Other than that, it's an excellent puzzle game. Show less

I was excited to strain my brain with cognitive puzzles. Everything was going good until I hit a dexterity problem. Between my mouse and my shaky hand I had to quit the game. Needed a skip button.

This is a fun game with various challenges. The Hint Button is helpful, but a Skip Button would be nice for those of us with low dexterity. One reviewer mentioned getting stuck on Level 40 (the snake eating 15 apples). As the snake eats the apples, it gets longer and once the snake touches the end of its tail, the level starts over again. To beat this level you have to keep the snake moving so it ...Show more

I was really into this game until I got to the snakes eating apples. I am stuck on level 40 and there is no skip.
Every time I get to the last snake it just starts over again and again and again. Only help I can get is the snake needs to eat all the apples. I guess I'm at the end of the 100 doors on 40.
There should be a skip button!!!!! Please update. Other than this BIG problem it was a fun ...Show more
