Adventure Escape Mysteries

What kind of game this is and who it suits

Adventure Escape Mysteries is a story-driven escape room puzzle game for Android. If you want puzzles with a plot running underneath them, rather than a string of unconnected brain teasers, this is the kind of game it is built around. The listing presents several separate stories, each with its own setting and characters.

The listing points at adults. The horror story is described as a scary puzzle game for adults, and the game carries a Teen content rating. The developer says it takes its lead from classic point and click adventures and adds escape room puzzles on top.

Solving murders and choosing where the story goes

The murder mystery, On Thin Ice, puts you in the role of Detective Kate Gray. A key witness has been killed and a criminal has blackmailed the police station. You investigate the crime scene, interrogate suspects and work out who is behind it.

The listing also includes an NCIS chapter, in which you play as special agents looking into a shocking explosion aboard a Navy ship. The developer says your choices influence the direction of the story. Each case moves forward as you examine things and question people.

Escape room puzzles, clues and inventory

The core loop is an escape room. You work through a room or environment by investigating what is around you and interpreting the clues you find. Items and treasures you pick up go into an inventory, and some of them are tools you will need later.

The listing describes the puzzles as logic puzzles and brain teasers that rely on observation, deductive reasoning and cunning. The developer says the puzzles are tough but always solvable. Across the game, the listing gives a count of more than 500 illustrated scenes to explore.

Horror and fantasy story chapters

In the horror chapter, Julian Torres is an ordinary boy in a quiet town who becomes the target of a serial killer known as Mirror Man. You help him escape haunted houses and frightening situations, and you deal with his own unsettling memories. The listing marks this as the chapter aimed at adults.

The fantasy story, Legend of the Sacred Stones, is set on Tempus Island, where a curse has fallen over the kingdom. You play as Aila, who learns to take control of the elements, works through temples full of brain teasing puzzles and battles towering Stone Gods.

Cost, hints, offline play and progress across devices

The game is free to play. The listing says you can buy a hint if you get stuck, but you are never forced to. The developer also says it does not design puzzles that can only be finished by paying.

According to the listing, your progress carries across multiple devices. Chapters can be downloaded in advance, and the listing says you can then play them without wifi. The developer says new stories are added regularly.

The listing shows a 4.66 average from 186,896 ratings, and an install count of 10,000,000 or more on Google Play.
