This is time to go big!

The Steam Next Fest has just started and we're more than happy to be part of it!
To celebrate it, we have a brand-new trailer here:
Watch on YouTube

How 2 Escape will launch on August 31st, 2023!

The final application is already available on iOS and Android to play the free demo. Keep it until the launch and it will be directly updated to the main companion app!

Catch us live!


Breakfirst Team will be live on Tuesday, June 20th at 6pm CEST/9am PT to do a gameplay while answering your questions about the demo!

Streamer time!


Are you still looking for more How 2 Escape content? We got something for you! We granted access to some of your favorites streamers to an exclusive preview of the game that is showcasing a unique room.
Don't hesitate to catch them live on Youtube or Twitch. You might even ask them to be their player 2! :)

What to do in the demo?


In the demo, you'll be able to play the whole tutorial of the game as well as the first riddle from the first wagon of the main game.

Find a teammate.


If you need someone to play with, we have our official Discord open to let you find a teammate!

Q&A

We've prepared a couple of Q&A for you. We'll go in-depth during our live tomorrow!

How long will the full game last ?

We’ve crafted 7 rooms and each one contains about 3 riddles. Depending on your skills and efficiency, this should take from 7 to 9 hours.

Will the riddles change between two playthroughs?

Riddles will keep the same structure. However most of them contain different combinations, meaning that the solution will change from one playthrough to another.

On which platforms will the game be released?

The “main game” will be released on PC and major consoles (Switch, PS4/5, Xbox).
The free companion app will be made available on Android & iOS devices.
We will also release a PC version of the companion app, for those who prefer to play this way.

Are there any accessibility options ?

Yes, we are currently working on a mode that will let colorblind players enjoy the game as well. It will also be possible to disable the timer for people that prefer a softer experience, even if it’s not the way we designed the game to be played.

Thank you!
Breakfirst & Just For Games teams!
