If you like escape rooms and puzzle games or enjoy immersing yourself in dark and twisted stories, you are in for a treat. Because these Xbox games have just been released: Crazy Experiments: Escape Room And Crazy Experiments 2: Escape Room. But where to start when you have two to choose from? Let’s discuss what makes the two games so special and why one may be better than the other – or perhaps we should say why you’ll end up playing both anyway.
Choose your challenge: classic puzzles or mystery with story?
Both games throw players into the disturbing world of Professor Cheshire, from which they must cleverly escape. However, they offer different variations of escape room gameplay:
- Crazy Experiments: Escape Room is for fans of classic puzzles. It’s all about the thrill of discovery – finding hidden objects, piecing together clues and solving increasingly complex puzzles. Each of the three chapters – The Mansion Lab, Memory Loss and Lost Childhood – offers its own challenges. This game is perfect if you love the satisfaction of solving a difficult puzzle and want to immerse yourself in a dark, atmospheric setting.
- Crazy Experiments 2: Escape Roomtakes the puzzle formula you loved in the first game and adds a more complex, story-driven experience. Here, you’re not just escaping rooms; you’re uncovering the full, twisted story of Professor Cheshire and his daughter Hildegarde. From the spooky library to the dangerous greenhouse to the thrilling train, each room tells a part of the story. This sequel is ideal for players who want their puzzle-solving wrapped up in a rich, story-driven package.
Solo or in a team: play how you want
Another important difference lies in the approach to these games:
- Solo Puzzler: Both games can be tackled solo, but the first game’s straightforward puzzle design may appeal more to solo players who want to solve the puzzles at their own pace.
- Team player: Crazy Experiments 2 shines in multiplayer mode. With its deeper story and more sophisticated puzzles, a team of up to five friends can make the experience even more exciting. You must work together, communicate and share your findings to unravel the mysteries of the Cheshire Institute.
