Host and guide of the Escape Academy walkthrough video.

Verification: Human verified

MacAs is the host and guide of a full Escape Academy walkthrough video covering all achievements and trophies. Rather than a character within the game's story, MacAs serves as the narrator who takes viewers through the entire completion run. This page summarizes how to follow that walkthrough: setup, pacing, the first puzzle, and the key cautions MacAs gives along the way.

What This Guide Covers

MacAs's walkthrough is built around unlocking all of the game's achievements together, with the stated goal of earning a thousand gamer score in about an hour and a half or even less [src-cc415a0c9f]. The approach is straightforward: MacAs plays through the game and supplies every answer directly, which saves viewers a lot of time compared to solving the puzzles themselves [src-cc415a0c9f].

Before You Start

MacAs opens with a short setup routine before any puzzle solving begins:

1. Load up the game from the beginning [src-cc415a0c9f].
2. Adjust your settings if needed — MacAs notes you can change your sensitivity and look inversion in the settings menu [src-cc415a0c9f].
3. Start a solo run — press Play, then press Solo, and start a new game save [src-cc415a0c9f].

Escape Academy is a first-person puzzle game in which you are placed into escape rooms and must figure out how to get out [src-cc415a0c9f]. Keeping that framing in mind helps you follow along as MacAs moves from room to room.

Following the Walkthrough

MacAs keeps the video moving quickly, and you can do the same in your own game:

• Advance or skip dialogue. Press A to tab through conversations, or press Start to skip through everything [src-cc415a0c9f].
• Expect skipped text. MacAs states that any time there is text on screen or anything skippable, it will be skipped to keep the run as quick as possible [src-cc415a0c9f]. If you want to read story content, pause the video rather than relying on the walkthrough to show it.

Step-by-Step: The First Escape Room

After starting a new save, you are automatically placed into the first escape room [src-cc415a0c9f]. MacAs's route through it is short:

1. Walk forward and to your right to find a safe [src-cc415a0c9f].
2. Enter the code FREE (F R E E) to open the safe [src-cc415a0c9f].
3. Grab the key inside [src-cc415a0c9f].
4. Back out and go to the front door, interact with it, and use the key as an item to exit the room [src-cc415a0c9f].

That completes the first puzzle [src-cc415a0c9f].

Tips and Cautions

• Do not press X at any point during your play-through. MacAs flags this as a quick but important note immediately after the first puzzle [src-cc415a0c9f].
• Plan for co-op at the end. According to MacAs, the run is overall really easy, but three super simple achievements at the end require co-op — either online with a friend or locally with a second controller [src-cc415a0c9f]. Have that option ready before you reach the finale.
• Watch rather than solve. Because the walkthrough supplies all of the answers, following it directly is the fastest path to the full achievement set [src-cc415a0c9f].

Rewards

The payoff MacAs targets is the full achievement and trophy set, framed as a thousand gamer score obtainable in roughly an hour and a half or less [src-cc415a0c9f]. The only portion that needs extra preparation is the trio of co-op achievements at the end [src-cc415a0c9f].
