Before you play
Choose your starting point
Need your next objective rather than an immediate solution? Start with the opening campaign guide. For demo-specific context, choose the demo route and version notes.
Match the help to your obstacle
The campus connects escape rooms with smaller puzzles, so a campus obstacle and a classroom lock may need different kinds of help. The official Steam description explains that structure. Choose a focused article when you recognize the object, and return to campaign navigation when you need the next destination.
Decide how you want to play
Solo, online co-op and split-screen couch co-op are supported, with co-op for two players. Optional No-Timer Mode offers a less time-pressured approach. See shared-play options for the distinctions, supported by the official feature listing and Co-op Company's review.
For device questions, use platforms and stores rather than assuming every console generation is covered. The official launch announcement specifically names Steam, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
