Top 25 best escape room games for Android phones and tablets
Escape room games are becoming a thing lately, even on Android phones
Running away from the reality of the current life, during this pandemic seems reasonable. The list of best escape room games for Android phones and tablets is here to give you some comfort!
Escape rooms, physical rooms that you can go to, where you can be trapped with your friends, looking to solve puzzles and find a way out. There’s normally a timer, there is usually someone taking charge, and there is always someone who can’t seem to figure out literally anything that is going on within the room.
In these troublesome times, you don't have to go there yourself, you can play escape room games on your Android phone! They are a challenge and make for a great afternoon out!
But, did you know, before Escape Rooms were popular, there were escape room video games - point and click adventure games that have been around since the Flash era. You can search around rooms, find hidden items, use them to solve puzzles and so forth - though mainly on your own. With Escape Rooms themselves rising in popularity, we have put together a list of the top 25 Android escape room games for you to play from the comfort of your couch.

The Escaper
The Escaper is a very new escape room game with a timer, slowly ticking down to the end of your time in this room. You must find your way out by solving various physics-based puzzles and discovering items that will help you. The Escaper is just like a physical experience - down to the timer and all. You can take the option to play without the timer if you’d like, but it’s much more fun with the added challenge.

Doors: Origins
Instead of escaping a room, Doors: Origins has you going from portal to portal, constantly trying to make your way to the next. You can always see the door to the next area, however, you will need to find a way to open it so you can move on to the next area. You can argue this is more of a puzzle game than an escape room game, but I would argue an escape room is just a really big puzzle box.

Escape Machine City: Airborne

Well, in Escape Machine City: Airborne, you can try escaping an Air City that has been flying on its own, after completely failing to talk to anyone else in the sky.
