In this time of social distancing, we’re staying positive and embracing the opportunity to play many of the play-at-home escape rooms and other puzzle games that have been piling up around us. Some of these, for far too long.

Typically we don’t publish about products until we can vouch for their quality… so buyer beware. A listing here is not necessarily an endorsement. This is more of a statement that “This is a thing that exists and might be entertaining.”
Please reference An Escape Room Players Guide To Self-Quarantine for a list of suggestions that we’ve already reviewed.
If you know of other tabletop escape games that we haven’t yet reviewed that you think we’ll enjoy, please let us know and please let everyone reading know by writing a comment.
