About This Game

Cube Escape is Rusty Lake's free series of point-and-click escape rooms, playable straight in the browser. Each chapter drops you in a single room full of drawers, dials and objects that only make sense once you have found the thing three rooms earlier. The puzzle design is fair, the atmosphere is memorably odd, and there is a lot of it: the collection runs to a dozen-plus rooms.

It is a single-player game, so treat it as a group activity rather than a multiplayer one: one person shares their screen and drives the mouse while everyone else shouts instructions. That format works surprisingly well on a game night call — nobody has to install anything, and the group argues productively about what the symbol on the clock means. OPG does not host these games; the Play button opens Rusty Lake's own site.

How to Play

  1. Pick a chapter

    Open the Cube Escape collection on rustylake.com and start with an early chapter such as Seasons.

  2. Nominate a driver

    One player shares their screen and controls the mouse; everyone else watches and calls out clues.

  3. Search everything

    Click every drawer, painting and object. Items collected in one room are usually used somewhere else.

  4. Escape and continue

    Finish the room, then move on to the next chapter — the story threads across the whole series.
