User Reviews

My wife and I are escape room fanatics. We've played, written, and built out countless number of rooms. With COVID-19 tearing through the country, we haven’t been able to play one in a long long time. We stumble across this game and it was just the type of thing we were looking for to temporarily take the place of our beloved pastime.  However, now that we’ve finished Tick Tock, there’s nothing else left. Sure, there are hundreds of escape room games for iOS, but none that I have found that are multiplayer. We really do need more games like this. 

I played this with my husband, each of us using our phones (but this is also available on the nintendo switch). It took us about 2 hours & 20 minutes from start to finish, and we enjoyed every minute. The puzzles are not too easy, not too hard; require a nice level of teamwork/communication, but not frustratingly so; and the artwork & sounds really fit a great aesthetic. I only wish it was longer or that there were more games like this one. Please make more!! 

My wife and I, much like the other reviewer, are HUMONGOUS escape room fanatics. I even work for a company making mystery games. Tick Tock is so clever and innovative, I was continuously in a state of enjoyment, even during the moments that had us scrambling for answers. The presentation of this game was flawless, the story was unique, the challenges were hair-pullingly complicated at times (in a very very good way), and I greatly hope this team is able to release more games in this style. I’ll definitely be eager to download it!Thanks!
