Escape the Phonebooth (Series #3)
About Escape the Phonebooth (Series #3)
Back in December 2007 Afro-Ninja released the third Escape series game and you start trapped in an old phone booth. The entire challenge unfolds in that tiny space with a point and click interface. Every detail matters so you hunt down clues and solve puzzles.
You grab a quarter then flip through the Yellow Pages to find a secret number. You slip a pair of binoculars through the booth’s window to peek outside. You link each item to unlock fresh hints. You call the number and set the next clue in motion.
Critics and players praised the tight setting and clever puzzles inside a phone booth and fans still bring up its impact on each challenge. This entry stands apart from others. It uses a single tool instead of a pile of random items and that choice pushed designers to rethink how they build escape games.
