About Escape Heroes
Escape Heroes is a puzzle game about getting out. You and your mates are trapped, and the way to freedom is to dig the right way out. Dig wisely and everyone escapes; pick the wrong way and the traps are waiting.
That is the whole idea, and it is a good one. Because you are creating the route rather than choosing from fixed options, each puzzle feels like a small engineering problem. The game promises unexpected traps and tricky obstacles, and part of the skill is spotting them before your digging leads a hero into one.
You are not only saving yourself, either. The game asks you to save your mates as well, so think about a path that works for them too. The game runs in portrait view and supports phones and tablets as well as computers.
How to play Escape Heroes

- Route the path around traps and tricky obstacles.
- Get yourself and your mates out and enjoy your freedom.
Tips and tricks
- Plan the whole route before you start digging. Seeing the full path first is easier than fixing a bad one halfway.
- Look for the traps before anything else. Knowing where the danger is tells you where not to dig.
- Expect surprises. Some traps are unexpected, so take a second look at anything that seems out of place.
- When several heroes are involved, check that the path is safe for each of them, not just the one closest to you.
