MOON HOUSE : ROOM ESCAPE 12+

I positively adore the art in these little room escape games. And the attention to detail! Each room has its own style and decor, and many of the “props,” like the food on the tables and all the different lotions and things in the bathroom, not only are used well as parts of the puzzles but are just nice touches for a lived in house. Like another reviewer said, if you’re going to be trapped in a house, this is a nice one to get trapped in.

And of course, loved the puzzles! This was a very short game - I’m not sure how long it took me to get through, but definitely less than an hour - yet there were so many very satisfying moments while working through the different puzzles.

Only critique here is that the navigation was a little tricky, but not so much that it took away from the enjoyment. Great job to everyone who worked on the game, and I very much hope you keep making more! And now I’m on to the next in the series 😁

Yes, there are approximately a bazillion room escape games in the App Store which all follow the same mechanics. This one gets 5 stars because:

1. It’s free (I was in Airplane mode when I played it, so didn’t even see any ads);

2. It has a (vaguely) art nouveau aesthetic;

3. There was a lot of food. I always wonder why most of these locked rooms never contain any food — you’d think that would be where snacks would be especially useful;

4. There was a kitchen, so you could cook the food. And a bedroom so you could take a nap. And an en suite bathroom so you can…you know. All of which is to say, if you’re going to be stuck for a while in a locked room, this is a comfortable one.

I’m going thru and playing all these escape games by this developer. I started with Banana House and now I’m working thru the rest of them. Very fun! Not a bunch of mindless clicking or difficult puzzles. You are required to think outside the box. Some things are a little obscure but it’s not frustrating. It’s a clean game with nice graphics. Very quick to play but I enjoy that because I can play straight thru without having to leave and come back a million times. If you like escape games but want a more zen-like experience, these are the games for you!
