- New Update – Improved Clue System - 30 July 2025
Hi everyone,We’ve just rolled out a small update to improve the clue system in How 2 Escape.Previously, players had to send keywords to their companion—but many mistook those keywords as the clues themselves, which led to confusion. To make things clearer, we’ve replaced the keywords with password-style codes (e.g., 785rkb).This change should make it much easier to distinguish between the input and the actual clue, helping you focus on solving puzzles and enjoying the escape experience.Thanks for continuing to play How 2 Escape!

- Welcome to the newcomers & small update! - 11 October 2023
Hello everyone! We're writing a little spontaneous post on Steam, as many of you have been asking about the game since the french livestream from Wankil Studio (thanks for the live stream!). Since the launch at the very end of August, we've made a lot of changes to the game, and we're continuing to improve it all the time. Some facts to know about the game The game is played by two players. One on Steam, the other on mobile or on Steam via the Companion app (free, whether or not you have the main game). You and your partner do not have the same game screen. Puzzles are procedurally generated, so solutions may differ from one game to the next. The hint system has been improved to make it simpler. Don't forget to text (via the companion app) the clues recovered by the player locked in the train. There's a color-blind mode available! You'll find 7 cars in the game, getting harder and longe…

Let's get to the bug fix: Bunk and Lounge : We fixed the error in which zooming into tickets or pages would make them disappear. Desk - Books : fixed the bug which occured when you switched the last book of the library resulting in the incapacity of putting back the book. Kitchen : Fruits can't be stuck in the sink anymore.
