Detective Stories part 1, part 2, and part 3 (from IDventure, and the later parts are only available in German) Trip 1907 has beautiful artwork and a story inspired by H. P. Lovecraft, but I found the puzzles much less satisfying. Resolvo plan to create one scenario per month in English and French, “immersive experiences that are targeted to last from 60 to 180 minutes”.
They also have Detective Stories, a range of detective-style games (see further down) – although only the first, The Fire In Adlerstein, is currently available in English. You’ll also see the Exit brand used on other games in Germany, such as Code Breaker, a home escape game for kids only available in German, as well as some escape books (see below). The Librarian’s Almanaq by Roy Leban is not a book version of an escape room, it’s a book version of a puzzle hunt. Ferociously difficult and requiring near-total destruction of the book in the process of solving it, it’s also well designed and satisfying. The sequel The Conjuror’s Almanaq is now available, and while I haven’t yet tried it I’d expect it to be a similarly high level of difficulty.has a theme of dystopian rebellion, with puzzles that I found more challenging than most of the other books in this list.

My favourites in the series so far are Test Time and Behind The Curtain; either of those make a good starting point to try them out. And here are some of the games I’m aware of currently going through crowd-funding or due for a future release:Mystery of Lux Museum is an Etsy product aimed at kids, with an attractive art style and an affordable price point.
