Escape Quest is a small medieval fantasy escape room from Lumiere Studios that you can play alone or with up to three friends online. It currently has one room, which the developer says takes around an hour depending on how quick the group is. It suits friends looking for a cheap, short co-op puzzle evening with a stylized look.
Steam reception is mostly positive, with about 73 percent of 176 reviews recommending it. Players tag it for multiplayer, hidden-object searching and fantasy, which matches the pitch: the puzzles lean on looking carefully and talking through clues together.
The one written review we found is a sharp warning, describing bugs that made co-op impossible and calling the game unfinished. With a single room and little written feedback, it is hard to judge how common that is. At a few dollars it is a low-risk try for a group, but go in expecting one short room rather than a full game, and skip it if you need reliable online co-op.
Pros
- Up to four players can solve the room together online
- Stylized medieval fantasy setting
- Very low price for an hour-long group session
Cons
- Only one room is available
- A reviewer reports bugs that broke co-op entirely
- Very little written feedback to go on
