The Room

Unpopular opinion but I found this game extremely frustrating. Some puzzles are very unintuitive. Other times I’ve deciphered the code but would have no idea where to enter it or what to do next, and this is because I can’t see what other area might’ve opened when I solved the puzzle. Hints are pre-programmed of course and are no help whatsoever when you’re stuck. There’s a ton of searching and examining intricate details. Game is beautifully designed and intricate, but the style is just not my cup of tea.

Great puzzle game with lots of puzzles to solve and a mystery to uncover

This was a beautiful and elegant game that i sailed through fairly quickly. I loved the variety of puzzles but at the end of the day there is only so much you can do with this format. Beautiful animation sequences.

Great puzzle game. Name is misleading as its focused on puzzle boxes not entire rooms but the puzzles are beautiful and well thought out. Started out as a phone/tablet game and got remastered for PC. Love the entire series, each builds on top of the other. There is an over arching theme which is expressed through notes left for you throughout the game and its sequels.

Great puzzle box game! It’s not an escape room per se despite the name, but it nonetheless features similar kinds of puzzles as actual rooms. What I like most is how the puzzles build upon each other and ramp up in complexity in this small yet deep virtual box space. It’s not a very long experience, but it’s worth it to delve deeper into the center at least once. There’s surprising story elements that make it more compelling. It makes me want to experience an actual physical puzzle box!

the perfect game if you’re a huge fan of Chris Ramsey’s puzzle box series. just puzzle box after puzzle box leading into a very interesting store that’s only just the beginning of a wild adventure. just download it on your phone and play it whenever you have 5-10 minutes to spare.

This was my first introduction to this series and I really enjoyed the intricacy of the art and variety of puzzles. We played on a tablet as a team of two working together, but it would work really well for a single player. There are no timers, so this is great to work on at your own pace when you have the opportunity.
