With Escape Academy, developer Coin Crew Games has a simple goal: to replicate the gameplay that escape room fans seek out in cramped strip mall quarters in the comfort of their own home. After all, being in close proximity to other people was something we’ve all had to avoid recently. In fact, the Covid-era loss of the escape room experience was a big part of what inspired the developers at Coin Crew — until now known for their work on arcade games like Hot Wheels: King of the Road — to start developing their first at-home release which will be co-published by Skybound Games and via iam8bit’s new label, iam8bit Presents.
