Flythrough

We hope you're ready to solve some more tricky puzzles, because the Halloween update for Escape Simulator is OUT NOW! This update features a brand-new room set in an eerie looking graveyard. Will you be able to solve its many mysteries? 🔍

To really add to the spooky vibes, the new Graveyard level is accompanied by a special soundtrack! But wait, you didn't think we'd let you celebrate Halloween without a matching outfit, right? Of course not! That's why the Halloween update also features a new customization option that allows you to turn your character into a ghostly version of itself! We also did more than 600 fixes and quality-of-life improvements for the game. You can read the whole changelog below.🔽

We hope you will all enjoy this free update to celebrate the month of Spooktober! In case you missed it, we recently announced the next big DLC for Escape Simulator as well. The Wild West DLC is set to release in December, so make sure to wishlist it! This way, you'll receive a notification as soon as it's out.
