Verification: Human verified

Anti-Escape Island is the setting of the Escape From Anti-Escape Island DLC for Escape Academy. After surviving an eventful first year at the Academy, your character heads off on a well-earned summer vacation — but the Escape Jet is shot down over an uncharted island, and relaxation turns to mayhem [src-529381cee6]. The island serves as the hub for the DLC's new batch of escape room challenges, which can be tackled solo or in two-player co-op.

What Anti-Escape Island Is

Anti-Escape Island is an island location introduced in the Escape From Anti-Escape Island DLC. Its premise is a vacation gone wrong: the downed Escape Jet strands you on uncharted territory, and you must puzzle your way through the island's rooms to progress [src-529381cee6]. Like the base game, the DLC content supports both single-player and two-player cooperative play, available in local or online splitscreen [src-529381cee6].

How to Access It

Anti-Escape Island is not part of the base game — you need the Escape From Anti-Escape Island DLC to play it. You can pick it up in one of two ways:

• Buy the DLC on its own. On Steam, the DLC is listed at $9.99 (frequently discounted) [src-9c282bac46].
• Buy a bundle. The DLC is included in the Escape Academy Season Pass, and it is also part of Escape Academy: The Complete Edition, which bundles the base game plus both the Escape From Anti-Escape Island and Escape From the Past DLCs for over 20 hand-crafted escape rooms total [src-529381cee6].

Once installed, the DLC's content becomes available from within Escape Academy.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1. Install the DLC. Confirm that Escape From Anti-Escape Island is installed alongside the base game — either purchased individually or through the Season Pass or Complete Edition [src-9c282bac46] [src-529381cee6].
2. Start the DLC story. Launch Escape Academy and begin the Escape From Anti-Escape Island content. The framing is a summer vacation that goes wrong when the Escape Jet is shot down over an uncharted island [src-529381cee6].
3. Choose your mode. Play alone in single player or with a second player in local or online splitscreen co-op [src-529381cee6]. Co-op lets each player work different parts of a room simultaneously.
4. Work through the island's rooms. Each room is a self-contained escape challenge in the style of the base game's hand-crafted rooms, designed by experts in real-life escape rooms [src-9c282bac46]. Solve the puzzles in each room to move forward through the DLC.
5. Use the DLC walkthroughs for tricky rooms. The DLC is supported by comprehensive walkthrough guides covering step-by-step solutions, important item locations, and puzzle strategies — consult these if you get stuck on a specific room.

Tips

• Bring a co-op partner if you can. Escape Academy is built around two-player cooperative play, and the DLC supports local or online splitscreen [src-529381cee6]. Splitting puzzle-solving duties across two players is often faster than solo play.
• Search rooms thoroughly. The DLC's walkthrough material emphasizes important item locations, so check every corner of a room before assuming you're missing a puzzle solution.
• Treat each room as self-contained. As with the base game's rooms, each challenge is a hand-crafted puzzle space [src-9c282bac46] — if one puzzle stalls you, re-examine the items and clues within that room rather than looking elsewhere.

Rewards and Content

Completing Anti-Escape Island's rooms progresses you through the DLC's story, which picks up after your first year at the Academy [src-529381cee6]. If you own the Complete Edition, the DLC's rooms count toward its total of over 20 escape rooms [src-529381cee6]. The DLC is also sold as part of the Steam Season Pass bundle alongside Escape From the Past [src-9c282bac46].

Notes

• Pricing and discount figures cited here reflect the Steam store listing at the time it was recorded and may change [src-9c282bac46].
• The base game's Steam page describes the core game's rooms and modes but does not itself detail the island's individual puzzles [src-40c7c1c77f]; for room-by-room solutions, rely on the DLC-specific walkthroughs.
