Noticed I hadn't commented on this one but this too is one of my absolute favorites. Me and my friend had a lot of fun playing it. You humor is always on point and the puzzles are super clever.. and again, the style is so cool! Will be a lot of fun to see what you do in Escape Simulator 2 :)

Finally found a partner to play this, was worth the wait, super fun and clever! Things got a little out of hand at some point, but I think we handled it well 👏

Hi Click Fire I could only imagine how rough that was! 😅

My friends and i did this after like 8 other community maps at 3 am and we were all losing our minds at this point. This map is an actual nightmare if you are running on fumes.

Great map.

This had me laughing the whole way through! and super creative level design as well. So so so so good! I was glad to lend a hand.

Great co-op! Challenging, with a lot of humor!

With this and the Fable of the Frog King, you're my new favourite builder!

My friend and I enjoyed the game a lot.

Following a deliberate and coordinated engagement of the musculoskeletal system, we executed the elevation of our primary upper-limb digit while simultaneously inducing controlled flexion in the remaining four phalanges. This action, henceforth referred to as the "thumbs-up gesture," was successfully deployed as a non-verbal communicative mechanism to convey affirmative acknowledgment within the designated interactional environment.

Please give us Institute of Having Feet!
Tisena 15 Feb @ 3:48am 
This was brilliant! I can't wait to set foot in your next room!
Hoofy 15 Feb @ 3:48am 
This is hands down the best community room out there. Both thumbs up!

@probillythepet Ah that's good to know! :) Nice to hear from another deaf player and getting confirmation that it works for you guys - thanks for taking the time to comment!
probillythepet 9 Feb @ 10:34am 
@Ravn, very good! Me and other deaf player are in fact from UK, therefore using BSL. But we do understand ASL and I do recognises these signs as soon as I entered into the room. :D
Ravn  [author] 9 Feb @ 1:05am 
Very happy to hear it, @probillythepet! :D Even got help from another deaf ES player to make sure the ASL puzzle was okay :)
probillythepet 8 Feb @ 3:17pm 
Love the room, especially with caption provided and using sign language as part of the puzzle. As the deaf player, I really enjoy it !

10/10 absolutely hilarious. Needs more puns!

Incredible map! My friend and I had so much fun. All the puzzles were thought provoking but not too hard.

재밋어요

This was hilarious and amazing. Great, creative puzzles!

Hi ViperRogue888 I've been having some trouble with that after accidentally overwriting a script and having to rebuild it from scratch. I thought it was working again but seems like I was wrong still! I'll have another look tonight.
ViperRogue888 19 Jan @ 2:47pm 
Loved this one so much! Only issue we ran across is we couldn't get the shadow figure puzzle to show the shadow figures, but I am not sure if that was user error. The light was working on my end and moving around but nothing was showing on the other side.
dazza 12 Jan @ 2:03pm 
this map caused my 2 friends to argue about who uses their hands more....
BjornBear 8 Jan @ 9:56pm 
Was a good one!
Ravn  [author] 4 Jan @ 10:15pm 
Thanks for the excellent feedback guys! Very happy that you loved it! 😊

I want to comment again with more spoilers because there was so much to love - it was immediately fun to see the columns with items that would be used with different hand shapes, and realizing we would need to match up which went where. The realization with the 10-cube puzzle when my friend spotted all the hands up the wall - glorious. All the horrible AI hands were great, too. My favorite moment, though, has to be launching the fist bump to the window,

To have all the puzzles point (har har) to a singular theme could have outstayed its welcome, but the design of this experience was so varied, often ingenious, and quite challenging (without being LucasArts point-and-click WTF nonsense). Excellent flow, super fun - a perfect 2-player co-op communication brain-burner with a sense of humor. Just about the best community map I've played. Well done!
AudioAutumn 3 Jan @ 9:01pm 
ABSOLUTE GEM. This is maybe thematically the best Escape Simulator game I've played. The personality of the "scientist" and each puzzle - so funny. There were several parts my friend and I were cackling with glee, and you introduced some truly charming moments. Great variety of puzzles, great signposting. Speaking of signs - I really appreciated your informative note in the ASL book, and animation of each word.
Ravn  [author] 3 Jan @ 1:40pm 
That's incredibly nice of you to say, thank you so much, Plutor! 😊
Plutor 3 Jan @ 8:22am 
Probably the best co-op community map I've played. Funny, challenging but accessible, and great asymmetrical puzzles.

Giving this room a thumbs up at the end makes me regret some other thumbs up I've given.
Ravn  [author] 26 Dec, 2024 @ 9:20am 
@NeuTronas No, YOU'RE crazy good! Great job solving all of that! <3
NeuTronas 23 Dec, 2024 @ 4:54pm 
It was crazy good. Absolutely amazing, it took us a while to get everything.
Ravn  [author] 18 Dec, 2024 @ 1:12am 
Trooper, weaponstar and Lyphage, Thanks so much for your lovely comments! <3
Lyphage 16 Dec, 2024 @ 12:59am 
Best Co-op map I have ever played. It was funny and made us waste no single second. The puzzles were very simple to find a connection yet hard to really explain to your partner. Really love the design!
weaponstar 15 Dec, 2024 @ 2:05pm 
Absolutely amazing and also hilarious. I'm glad we failed to teach 'John' anything about hands. It took us (2 players) two hours but we might have been a bit quicker if I wasn't tired because in hindsight I wasn't seeing something pretty obvious. Anyway awesome rooms, thanks!
Trooper 15 Dec, 2024 @ 3:54am 
Amazing room, looking forward to the next installment of The Human Institutes research :)
Ravn  [author] 11 Dec, 2024 @ 11:52pm 
No problem, hope you like it Florida Guy! 😅
Ravn  [author] 11 Dec, 2024 @ 11:51pm 
Thank you so much for the praise, Ceinos! 😊❤️
floridaguy16? 11 Dec, 2024 @ 11:44pm 
i like that you plugged your own room :) thanks for letting me know it existed!!!
Ceinos 11 Dec, 2024 @ 8:49pm 
hey so this is my gold standard community room. perfect no notes five stars etc. Wish every room could be this good
Ravn  [author] 11 Dec, 2024 @ 12:18am 
Thanks for the praise guys, and thanks for playing! :D I'm waiting for a feet man too, CAPTAIN JTK D:
DereshKarany 10 Dec, 2024 @ 2:00pm
