When it comes to point and click room escape games, Japanese developer Neutral is top of the line. The team releases just a few escape games each year, but when one does come around, it looks great, plays great, and offers a fair amount of tough challenges. This time around, Christmas Mini Escape (a natural follow-up to Christmas Escape 3) is a banner game released to celebrate the holidays. Even though the screen size may be small, the game is quite lengthy and serves up plenty of holiday-related puzzles to get you ready for presents!
As with any room escape game, one premise is a given: you’re trapped somewhere, and you want to get out. In this case, you’re in a decorated room filled with Christmas cheer. Looking around, you’ll notice a Christmas tree, a stocking, a bed, some drawers, and a conspicuously locked door. In fact, there are quite a few conspicuously locked items, but only one key in sight. And that key is in a bottle behind iron bars inside the fireplace! You’ve got no choice but to rummage around, turning over every door and lifting every potted plant to find things you can use to get out.
As with all Neutral games, puzzles are almost never straightforward. You must pick up several items before you can even use one of them, and in order to use most of them, you’ll have to decipher a few clues. The best way to win? Click everywhere. Every corner, every item, just below every item, everywhere. If you ever get stuck there’s probably something you’re missing, so you’ll just have to go back and search the room again! But since everything looks so pristine, it’s all the more entertaining to do so.
Really, the only detractor to Christmas Mini Escape is the small screen size. It’s a banner game, after all. Even though it’s little, the gameplay is big, and this little point and click adventure will test your puzzle solving abilities as well as any other escape game out there!
