What Makes Great Escapes Stand Out
Great Escapes is a game for all room escape and adventure fans, now with our new Pack 4 containing a hotel room, pirate ship, and train station!
Built around the idea of quality over quantity, you won't find filler hidden object scenes or overly obtuse puzzles designed to get you paying for hints.

Great Escapes is always growing, we'll keep adding new packs in the future so make sure you stick around!

Community Insight:
This game really got you thinking about what to do next, even when you dont do something right and it just feels like you did you just gotta think about the small stuff. Amazing we would say :D.
All the games were fun and engaging. The only one we had problem with was the bunker game where you solve the puzzle in the bedroom with the record player. Im on iPhone 16 Pro – iOS 18.3.1 and the puzzle box on the floor doesnt allow us to select the square in the upper right corner because the Settings gear icon is in the way. Im not able to workaround this glitch and unable to escape.
This game is really cool we love it! We love escape rooms that are fun and hard. The developer made this game very fun and enjoyable.
We've tried many escape games and this is one is probably our favorite.
Great game, not super challenging. Doesnt ask for needless permissions to invade privacy. 5 out of 5 stars! Purchased second group of rooms to keep playing. Hard to come by a decent game nowadays. The change difficulty setting didnt work when activated, the puzzles stayed the same.
We love escape games, and these are great.
Ive done a few escape rooms. Although Ive done some challenging rooms, this one is by far the best. You must use your brain and utilize the clues! AWESOME.
We are enjoying the game but hints would be helpful when we are stuck.
We enjoy the game. Not too simple but not frustratingly difficult. Would be nice if there was a hint button. It stinks that after Package 1 you have to pay for additional packages. Now Im deleting.
Multiple people have reported the bug here and probably in-app, too – please fix it with an update. Thank you.
We love all the glitch games. But Id love to finish this one and right now the glitch on the refrigerator in the hotel room makes it impossible to finish the level.
Ive really enjoyed this game! Lots of puzzles that arent too easy! But the mini fridge in the Hotel has a glitch. Im hoping this glitch will be resolved soon so we can finish playing the game pack we paid for.
An addictive game and hard. We wish there was some hints to choose from to help solve the puzzles in the game. We did find short YouTube videos for some clues to help us along. Looking forward to the next challenge.
We enjoyed the game at first but eventually got stuck and was not able to get any hints. We saw that In the app pictures there is a magnifying glass that did not show up on our screen. The hint acess was on in the settings. We tried reinstalling the app and it didnt work. DEVELOPERS: we are using an iPhone SE and we have the latest version of the app. The button simply was not there.
As always Glitch games are the best.
We have to say, we dont typically leave reviews for games, however this one was quite exciting. Its very fun and not SUPER difficult, however the parts that were are just a fun challenge. Its a creative puzzle/escape game that we thoroughly enjoyed, especially being able to play the first three levels for free! The reason for the 4/5 stars, is because the only issue we had was that after the first room, the items you can interact with are highlighted with sparkles of some sort (Im not sure if theres a way to disable that but if so, thats our own fault for not realizing.) we feel as though it takes a bit away from the challenge thats there, but we can see how it is helpful to those that may be just starting off with escape related games. After reading other reviews we felt as though this game truly deserved recognition for the hard work/time put into it. The complaints we read seemed to come from user error (which is why theres a walkthrough!) and from people complaining they had to pay for following levels. The levels are inexpensive and a slight way to give back to the creators for that time and dedication they put in to give us these games. Thank you again, we truly enjoyed this game and will definitely be purchasing the following levels soon.
Good app overall we enjoy playing. This is pretty good pass some time and waste some time.
We enjoyed playing the game and trying to figure out what the designer had in store for us. Great game.
We couldnt do any thing in the game and the graphics where good we mean but it wouldnt let us solve a puzzle and it makes you buy the pakes besides the first one.
One of the best escape games Ive played. Clever but not so hard that its more frustrating than fun. Love that the app doesnt collect data and additional games are affordable. Our only problem is that we are hooked and out of rooms! Make more soon please.
We think the first Glitch Game we played was All That Remains, and we quickly learned that if a game was from Glitch, we should automatically download it because their games are incredible. Great Escapes is not an exception, its an excellent way to introduce yourself to Glitch Games and the kind of quality you can expect in other games, its almost like a little sampler platter. We had fun playing the different chapters and we can only hope that they're working on some more games for us because we are addicted to their style of interactive adventure game play. We also appreciate the humor they sprinkle into the games, it never fails to amuse us. Thank you, Glitch Games! Youre the best.
Great game with nice images and challenging puzzles.
Many escape games are so detailed that you cant keep up with all the clues. This game is just challenging enough to be entertaining without getting a brain cramp from clue overload.
We still go back and play these older Glitch games, while waiting for their newest ones to come out. Absolutely the best of ALL point and click escape/adventure iOS games! Never a need for hints or walk through is you take your time and thinkthey are all logical and fun! Get their monthly news letter to keep up to date on their latest adventures.
Ive played every Glitch game and we love them all so much! These are our favorite games. We recently got a device with more storage just so we could play all the Glitch games again. Cant wait for the next one to come out.
This game you have to think And its truly a great game and good time keep it up.
Not too tricky but fun. We also really like the humor with the commentary by the character. We really appreciate the Monty Python dead parrot references. We gave a star just for that! Please make more.
Fun escape room puzzlesthe first 3 are FREE, well designed, and make you think, but arent too challenging for your average adult. And the hint system works quite well to nudge you in the right direction without spoiling it. Worth the download. We may even purchase the others! Recommended.
Ive tried a few escape room games, and this is definitely our favorite. There are a few puzzles that, even with a solution provided, we dont understand how we were supposed to have figured it out. But, still a lot of fun.
Just average. Lost interest pretty quickly.
Pooooooooooooooooooooop the reason why once you pass level one you can,t play anymore Im so mad.
Loved this and can't wait for the next installment. Just hard enough to entertain and great thinking puzzle for helping us on our next in person escape room adventure. Each puzzle is a perfect length so that you can have fun but not fell like you'll never get it finished.
Love these shorter games, that are difficult enough to be challenging, but not so much that clues are necessary for every puzzle. Bring more.
The only reason im giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is because we wish there was a flat fee for the full game (including future chapters) instead of the current pack system, which feels like it has us paying more overall for whats definitely a lesser Glitch game, especially when their other, more story-based game output is so consistently excellent. But the puzzles remain fun and clever and the hint system is useful, although they reveal the answers more often than id like (and more often than other Glitch games). As a kind of Glitch Lite, this is a solid entry point to a great puzzle game developer.
Glitch does it againThe ONLY problem we have with Glitch games is that NONE of the other games of its kind even come close to comparing to them, therefore every other game is a disappointment in comparison. They are hands-down, the best developer in the App Store, by far. We realize that its completely unrealistic for them to shoot out games (especially of this quality) every month, but us and our unrealistic optimism keep checking their page to see if a new one is released almost monthly because we simply cannot get enough. Thank you for hours of fun, we cant wait to see what is to come.
Having great fun with these games. Enjoyed the free version and will definitely move on to the paid games. Keeps the mind working.
Great escape game! Def challenging, creative, and fun.
We love escape games like these. This one was fun and not too pricey to unlock the other packs. We were addicted.
First time Glitcher and Im really enjoying these! They are just tough enough to keep us wanting more. After playing our first one we bought all of the packs. We cant wait for more packs.
We dont typically review games but we love this companys output. This particular one is basically a sampler of their other gamesmany of the rooms are lifted from their other games, but the puzzles have been changed and shortened. Theyre just long enough to get your brain moving, but short enough to be completed in 15 minutes. If youve never played anything from Glitch, Id actually suggest playing the first room or two of this, and then if you like it switch to their full size games. Their games are spooky and quirky and have cute running gagsexperiencing those in full and coming back here to play the remixed versions feels like the best way to do it. We hope they release more level packs soon.
Great game. Easy to follow. Entertaining. Makes you think, but not to hard. Great for all ages.
We love these games and am totally hooked. Butin the Temple room, the Pillars and Stones puzzle seems to have a bug. The pillars are all supposed to be at different heights in the solution but two of the stones are the same weight, ie they push their pillars down an equal amount, so theres no way to get the pillars into the correct height pattern. Please fix!!! Otherwise we love the game.
We will buy anything these guys put out as its sure to be delightful, witty, and hit that sweet spot of being difficult enough that you feel smart when you figure things out but not so tough you feel duped. This game is no exception.
We love the camera that lets you take pics of things that you need in solving. So innovative! The hints are well done, too.
If you enjoy escape rooms or solving puzzles then this is the game for you.
This game is super addicting and awesome! Every new pack has a new adventure.
The puzzles are challenging enough to keep you entertained but not so hard that you want to give up. Im on the second set and am really enjoying them. Worth the money.
We have never done an escape room before. This really makes us have to think. It is hard to put it down.
We enjoy all of these escape games, just wish they lasted longer. We dont like paying for something that only lasts us less than an hour.
Just tried our first round of this game and it really feels like an escape room. We really enjoy it! Highly recommend for anyone who loves an escape room in person.
