- The Room is a classic escape-room game with stunning graphics, an eerie atmosphere, and tricky logic-based puzzles.
Pete McD · Jan 16, 2022 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - The Room is a very intelligent puzzle game. It’s not a long game and it leaves you craving more. It may only be fun on the first run, but it’s pretty good while it lasts. It’ll most certainly make you want to play the sequel and the upcoming third game, as well as convince your friends to go to the nearest escape room game parlor and enjoy a real-life version of what this little gem has to offer.
Leo Faria · Nov 06, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - If you don't mind paying the extra premium, though, then you'll find a satisfying experience in The Room. Sure, the game isn't quite the innovative title it was in 2012, but the puzzles are still challenging enough to leave the player feeling like they've accomplished something once they finish the epilogue. It's a worthwhile addition to the Switch's library, and fans of other "escape-the-room" titles will get a real kick out of it for the few hours it lasts.
Tyler Treese · Nov 06, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - It isn’t often that I would recommend a port of a mobile game, but The Room is an exception. It is a game that simply works on the Nintendo Switch, regardless of whether you play it in Handheld mode or on the TV. The puzzles are clever, unique and engaging. Once you start, you will not want to put your Switch down. Its only real problem is I simply want more.
Jamie Ward · Oct 29, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - It’s a pleasure to see some well-implemented pointer controls added to a classic touchscreen title, and the fact that this seminal release is now available on a dedicated gaming device is cause for celebration. Be aware that it’s a slight offering by home console standards, though – it’s crying out to be part of a compilation release with its three sequels. Perhaps one for the Wishlist, then, but it’s a winner while it lasts.
Gavin Lane · Oct 18, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - The graphic and audio design is nothing short of beautiful. You're going to get hours of rich entertainment out of this one - it's worth the entrance price and more. Pick it up for your next car trip, or perhaps just to play under the covers in the dark.
Janel Torkington · Nov 13, 2014 Reviewed on iOS, And - It’s worth ten times its price, and it even manages to cram a captivating story inside of its locked cabinets, in the form of notes and diaries. I don’t want to imply that it’s perfect from all sides – actually, screw that. The controls take a bit of getting used to, but besides that, The Room is a perfect Android quest.
Tony Kuzmin · Aug 15, 2014 Reviewed on And - The rooms themselves are immersive and engrossing, and puzzle hints are well-buried within the décor of the boxes themselves. Unfortunately, just as you’re getting used to how the various types of puzzles work… it’s over. That being said, I’m certainly looking forward to the (hopefully lengthier) sequel.
Jason Strengren · May 20, 2013 Reviewed on AndRead full review - The story was fun to read up on, but it really didn't do much for me. I was in this to defeat the puzzles. Some of them were very simple others had me scouring every inch of the object trying to find the secret to unlocking this part of the puzzle.
Altered Confusion · Mar 28, 2013 Reviewed on AndRead full review - The Room is an interesting game to try and pin down. I enjoyed my time with it, but I’m not sure I would recommend it to someone else. There’s a definite level of frustration there when you hit the wall and aren’t sure what to do next.

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
A curious invitation from an old friend leads to the attic of an abandoned house. Centred in the room is a cast-iron safe laced with strange carvings and placed on top, a note from your distant companion. It promises that the iron chamber conceals a secret artefact, something ancient and astonishing - you need only find a way in.
