Escape the Arcade (playdate) by JulieBjornskov

Explore a casual escape room game for Playdate. #

“Escape the Arcade” is an interactive comic adventure packed with mind-bending puzzles to help you crack your way out.

Picture this: you’re enjoying a casual afternoon at the arcade hall in the 1980s. You decide to try your luck with the crane claw machine, hoping to snag some teddies – what could possibly go wrong?

Suddenly, with a puff, you find yourself inside the machine, and to top it off, you’ve shrunk to the size of a teddy! The teddy bears, not accustomed to having humans in their domain, attempt to trap you.

Within the arcade machine, they’ve created a series of quirky worlds with mysterious, and occasionally adorable, puzzles for you to solve.

**Embark on this nostalgic and absurd journey, immersing yourself in cool illustrations and cryptic riddles.
