Escape Academy is the Epic Games Store's free game offering for January 16th, 2025. This escape-room style puzzle game, developed by Coin Crew Games, will be available for a week, until January 23rd. This marks the second time Escape Academy has been offered for free on the EGS; however, this is the first time it will be available for a full week. This is particularly timely, coinciding with its departure from Xbox Game Pass on January 15th.
Escape Academy boasts a strong "Strong" rating on OpenCritic, with an average score of 80 and an 88% recommendation rate, making it the highest-rated free game offered on the EGS in 2025 so far. Positive player reviews across Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox stores further solidify its appeal. The game offers both solo and multiplayer options, including online and split-screen co-op, praised as one of the best co-op puzzle games recently.
This is the fourth free game of 2025 on the Epic Games Store, following Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Hell Let Loose, and Turmoil. The announcement of the fifth free game is anticipated on January 16th. For players who enjoy the main game, two DLC packs, "Escape From Anti-Escape Island" and "Escape From the Past," are available for individual purchase ($9.99 each) or bundled as a Season Pass ($14.99).
