In
Do-It-Yourself Escape you're not allowed to use any walk-thrus or spoilers, you have to
escape the room all on your own with no one else's help... Nah! Just kidding. In
DIY Escape you've accidentally dropped your keys into a metal tube whilst doing some
DIY work. To get out, you need to retrieve that key by finding, using and combining items. After that it's time for episode two in which you have to avoid being dragged to
Home Depot on Saturday morning... that mission is
much tougher... [

Initially
Elephant Room Escape might seem like an
escape the room game completely devoid of Elephants, which wouldn't be that weird, if it weren't for the game title. A little bit of skilled clicking though (or randomly clicking everywhere like I did) and you'll find your first elephant. Lovely. Hmmm... but what to do next? I think I'll try more random clicking - woohoo! [

Heart Room Escape, or to give it it's full title "
The Escape From The Room Which Is Heart", *phew*, is an
escape the room game featuring hearts. Lots of hearts. Bucket-loads of hearts. In fact more hearts than Jen would like to decorate our bedroom with... no, on second thoughts, not
quite that many, but still lots [

Questionaut is a really
lovely point'n'click game, even if it's not terribly difficult (it is meant for kids - so shame on you if you're struggling with the educational bits), where you are on a quest to recover your friend's hat which you pursue in your knowledge powered balloon. Glory in the fine graphics, and make sure you turn up the volume to get the most atmospheric experience. And where has this fine game come from? Well it's from the same games stable as
Samorost (
Amanita Design) and was commissioned by
The Beeb, so it has some pukka credentials as well as being a joy to play [

The
Riddle School Series continues with
Riddle School 3 for some more school escaping
point'n'click fun... fun if you turn the volume down that is... *mumble* *music isn't what it used to be* *grumble* *mumble* *just noises* *grumble*... [

OK folks, it's time to
drop it like it's hot, as we head on over to
Doggnation... which actually isn't the latest tune from
Snoop, but is a new game from
Bart set in the land of "Doggs" (no relation to Snoop).
Doggnation is kind of an arcade game meets logic puzzle, with a little bit of
point'n'click thrown in. The story:
Once upon a time there was a peaceful nation of "doggs", they were living in a small castle that could use a little upgrade. Can you help these "doggs" to upgrade their castle?

The
second chapter of
Bow Street Runner is out now. Unfortunately some idiot has forgotten his "episode code" from
part one (I don't even remember getting one if I'm honest) so it looks like I'll be playing all the way thru from the beginning rather than going straight to new stuff (hence the re-used screenshots)... word on the street btw is that work has been done to sort the issues encountered in part one so hopefully it should be a better playing experience this time round [

UPDATE: Ok, I've played thru part 1
again now (hence the updated screenshot above). It does seem to play
much better now, I didn't have any of the problems I had before, and what's more I found more in the game (maybe I just missed it last time though) and I even managed to progress from runner to constable in the esteem system (which I didn't even come near to doing before). It still has those "follow the line" things - but either they've been improved, or I've improved, as I found them much easier this time. Oh - and I've actually started playing the
second chapter :) It seems excellent so far (hmmm...
point'n'click autopsy - interesting) with a little bit of a
gambling twist.
Bird's Eye View Escape gives us a new perspective (literally) on the traditional
escape the room game. Zooming in and out of the room from above is a bit weird at first, but makes for a nice innovation once you get used to it, and even though seeing everything "in plan" sounds like it might not look that good, the graphics are actually quite appealing as well [

It comes as no surprise to see a computer in an "
escape the room" game, they must be the second most common featured item after the wastepaper basket (curiously missing from this game), but it's especially unsurprising when the name of the game is
Escape The Computer Room [
