Closed Room is a room escape game, consisting of the usual controls. You touch items around you, pick up some of them and interact with others. The objective of this game is to use your surroundings and your wits to solve numerous challenging puzzles and finally escape from the room.
If you have played “Ellie”, you might be waiting for some almost impossible puzzles in this game. While there are some tough challenges here, don’t worry. Closed Room is easier, and the items you find offer helpful hints on their uses. There are plenty of clues to be found here, and this set will last you much longer than you might think for such a minimalist room. The controls are also very intuitive and responsive, which is not always the case with free room escape games.
One thing I really appreciated was the little red laser dot that appears every time you tap somewhere and there’s nothing of note. Lets you know that your faucet registered. With so many other room escape games, it’s unclear whether or not your tap registered, which can lead to a lot of frustrated hyper-tapping.
There were a couple of things that bothered me in the game. A core puzzle has multiple parts and they all need to be completed in one go, as the game will not save your progress. This can be very frustrating as you can’t take a break and come back later. So make sure you start it when you have plenty of time to spend on it. Also, the “Start” and “Continue” buttons are on top of each other, and I accidentally restarted my game. I was never asked to ask if I want to reboot; he just did it anyway. So be very careful when you return to the game so you don’t make the same mistake I did. But if you overcome these little problems, the game offers good quality room escape fun for free!
If you’re looking for a challenging escape game to mess around with, look no further! This app even comes with Closed Room 1 and 2!
If you have any problem with it, here are some tips:
1. If you’re having trouble with the last “tap to complete” part of the puzzle, try starting from both ends and meeting in the middle. You want the top three pieces to be changed last.
2. Once you escape room 1, don’t delete the app! Go back to the main menu and you will see a new option to select, Room 2.
3. In Room 2, think about the time when you are trying to solve the code on the computer screen.
I hope that helps. Have fun escaping!
