Single-player escape room iOS game for ages 9–14
👥 Pass-and-play available
Meet your mentor
Every Spark & Anvil app has a friendly mentor character that demonstrates, praises, and patiently scaffolds learning. On-device AI personalizes the mentor's responses to your kid's progress — never connecting to a server, never collecting data.
#FFA726 EscapeForge is an escape room game where you solve puzzles to unlock doors and escape before time runs out! Each room is packed with math puzzles, word challenges, ciphers, pattern recognition, and logic problems. Can you think fast enough to find your way out?
Distributed-narrative cast
Meet the cast
EscapeForge's 7-character puzzle-archetype cast maps 1:1 to the 7 puzzle types — math / word / cipher / pattern / logic / connection / sequence. Each character IS the puzzle pattern; channel-based event system surfaces the appropriate cast member on chamber entry. Per `escapeforge-app/Docs/HANDOFF_FROM_LABSMITH_DISTRIBUTED_NARRATIVE_RETROFIT.md` Wave 32b 2026-05-22. Latch preserved as AI mentor. Original cast names Weave + Loom RENAMED to Tile + Link to resolve collisions (SpectrumCanvas Wave 8 Weave + TaleForge Wave 28 mentor Loom). Labsmith generates ~$1.89 cast assets. Cross-app cameos: Sift ↔ CipherForge (cryptography sibling) load-bearing; Tile ↔ GeometryForge; Cog ↔ LogicQuest; Beat ↔ MathLore.

Solve Puzzles
Each room has multiple puzzles to solve. You might crack a number code, unscramble words, decode a cipher, complete a pattern, or work through a logic problem.
Unlock Doors
Puzzles connect to doors and gates through a channel system. Solve the right puzzles in the right order to open the path forward. Some doors need multiple puzzl
Beat the Clock
Every room has a time limit. Work quickly but carefully -- rushing through puzzles leads to mistakes, but thinking too long means time runs out. Find the right
