Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School slated for release in November
Coin Crew Games released the puzzle game Escape Academy in 2022, inviting players to enroll in a school where promising pupils train to become the ultimate escape artist. The Original Soundtrack by series composer Doseone features electronic, hip-hop, and hybrid classical tracks.

Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School will launch on November 5th, expanding the series' scope with an innovative open-world escape room concept. The story continues on from the first game, delving further into the backstory of the academy, with expanded lore surrounding the dark mystery of the school’s founding.

Exploration of the entire campus will be available in solo, online, or split-screen co-op modes. The full game also includes an optional ‘No-Timer Mode,’ allowing players the choice to challenge puzzles at a leisurely pace.


The free demo on Steam offers a sneak peek of the sequel's introductory puzzle course, featuring new music by Doseone.

The latest Steam news update teases two post-launch DLC adventures, currently in development at Coin Crew Games. Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Series X|S consoles (available day one with Game Pass), along with Windows PCs via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
