What are escape games?

Escape games are browser-based titles built around escape-themed gameplay. Every escape game in the PlayKovo library is HTML5, which means it loads instantly in any modern browser with no plugin or app required.

Escape games lock you in a room, a house or a strange place and ask you to find the way out. You look around, pick up objects, combine them and use them on the right spot, and codes, hidden switches and small puzzles are the locks. Each room is a short story you solve by observation instead of reflexes. They are slower than action games, and a good one can fill twenty minutes with nothing but careful looking.

How to get better at escape games

Every escape game has its own controls and mechanics. Read the "How to play" and "Controls" sections on each game page, then practice — that's the fastest way to improve.

Click on everything at least once, including walls, floors and small details, as the clue is usually where you did not look. Write down codes, symbols and colors you see, because a clue found in one corner often unlocks something on the other side of the room. If you find an item that seems useless, keep it; escape games love to bring objects back later. When you are stuck, leave the room for a minute and come back, since fresh eyes spot what tired ones missed.
