If you've ever dreamed of being a student at a school built entirely out of
escape rooms and silly puns, Coin Crew has the game just for you. Escape
Academy 2: Back 2 School is heading to PC, and it's available now to wishlist
on Steam and the Epic Games Store. It's the sequel to Escape Academy, which
is one of our absolute favorite puzzle games in recent years, particularly
when played as a couch co-op experience.

Escape Academy 2 expands the campus into an open world, allowing players to
explore and uncover secrets between classes, ramping up the student role-
playing vibe. Coin Crew also drew inspiration from games like Animal Well and
The Legend of Zelda series, which incorporate riddles and mysteries into the
standard exploration gameplay loop, creating a free-roaming puzzle flow.

The original Escape Academy attracted more than 4 million players, and the
sequel appears to be even bigger and radder. There's no release date for now,
but Coin Crew is looking for playtesters through its Discord channel. The
Escape Academy series is published by iam8bit, and the sequel was revealed
during the Day of the Devs showcase tied to Summer Game Fest 2025.
