A (Sneak) Peek Behind The Curtain, and Some Transparency….

Hey Escapists!

We know you’re just as excited as we are to get your hands on the next playtest build of Escape Acadmey 2: Back 2 School, so we’re bringing you an update with some of your most-asked questions, and a few peeks at what’s been going on at the Academy!

I joined the Discord! When can I playtest?!

We’re SO excited to start playtests (and on a personal note, community manager to community - I am very excited to watch you all playtest the next build!) That’s why with much excitement, I’m here to tell you:

Weekly Playtests are Kicking Off July 17th!

Keep your eyes peeled in our Discord, where you’ll be able to claim a spot for playtesting, and over there we’ll have more information on what you can expect out of the playtesting process.

While you can’t playtest right now, there are a few other things you can do to satisfy your curiosity:

  1. Check out our socials! We’re constantly looking for new content to post, and with playtests starting back up, you’ll be able to expect some sneak peeks, funny bugs, and more!

  2. Join the Discord. There’s plenty of fun to be had, and you can say hi to your beloved Coin Crew devs directly👋

  3. Check out our other posts! We’re always looking for stuff to post, but if there’s something you’re wanting to see, it’s possible we’ve already posted it. And if we haven’t….

  4. Ask questions! We’re just as excited to make this game as you are to play it, and hype keeps everyone motivated.

Those Sneak Peeks We Were Promised!?

Our art team has been cooking up some really sick concepts for some other campuses at The Academy - after all, it’s more than just a school. It’s a thriving campus!

Here’s some work-in-progress concept art for the upcoming Science Campus you’ll be able to attend at Escape Academy. 📚What you see first are the grayboxed versions, followed by some paintover 🎨 sketches showing off how we plan to truly give these grayboxed environments life!😍

We hope you enjoy this early look into the design process as much as we enjoy making it!

⚠️WIP! Expect this area to evolve and change in future iterations💛💜

We want to know your questions!

What do YOU want out of Escape Academy 2? What are your wildest puzzle fantasies, or your weirdest escape-themed dreams? Is having the ability to pick up the Purfessor a requirement for your enjoyment? Or maybe you REALLY want Gillian to be a bit more yappy?🤔

Whatever your asks are, we want our game to be a love letter to escape room games, fun puzzles, and purpose-built for our community to bash their heads into. Let us know what you’d like to see, and we’ll let you know what we think! The best way to reach us is always through Discord, but feel free to drop your thoughts anywhere you see us lurking around on the internet…⬇️

With love,

Coin Crew Games 💛💜
