My husband and I played this game together as a team of two. We really enjoyed the immersive story of this game and the creepy feel of the game. We particularly enjoyed the first part of the game and the puzzles throughout were a good level of challenge. After playing this game we enjoyed it so much that we then played the rest of E-scape Rooms games too!

I enjoy horror themed rooms  (can be quite bias).  I enjoyed the sound effects & music. I felt the puzzle theme correlated with the game and I didnt anything was difficult (there is a part where you will need a piece of paper & a pair of scissors)
The game length time felt short (to me) and there was more time spent in suspense building cinematics (which I enjoyed) than the actual virtual-playing of the game and would have liked to have an addition of at least one more room to level out the mix.  I recommend playing this for Halloween / Friday 13th or on a stormy late night

The Alp is not jump scary, but uses really creepy situations and murder victims as case for math puzzles.

I studied math at university and still found the math part of the puzzles difficult to follow and some tedious.  That might just be me or a cultural difference...

For us the experience felt like it started out difficult, became tedious and a bit weird and then part 3 was fine. Actually easy in the end. 

None of puzzles stood out to us as better than the rest, but one was a bit off. It was to get a physical piece of paper and cut it. We didn't do that but solved in by thinking it through. 

The experience was built on telescape and the tech worked all the way through.

I really enjoyed the original digital environment they created for the game, but found the puzzles a little tedious. Lots of number based puzzles in this game, so if you don't like math based puzzles, you may want to steer clear, or ensure you have someone on your team who does.

It isn't mentioned in the game description on their site, but scissors and paper are required for one puzzle. Wasn't a fan of that to be honest, as I was expecting to play entirely virtual with no physical components required. It is mentioned in Telescape before you start, but it really should before the game is purchased. I chose to by-pass the puzzle using the hints provided (didn't have scissors when I played).

The puzzles didn't really fit the theme, though the story was interesting and was chunked in a cool way to tell it.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Well produced, decent puzzles, and an interesting storyline, The Alp is a game that we finished and both said β€˜I enjoyed that game’. It’s great to see that even this far into the pandemic, decent online games are still being produced.
It's pretty difficult to implement horror elements in a digital game. E-Scape Rooms did a great job giving us a complete package with The Alp game. From sound to narrative to puzzles, we were fully immersed into the game for an hour. And what good movie doesn't have a twist in the end? Want to know what it is? I guess you'll have to play the game to find out!

I absolutely love the horror genre, and with that comes the excitement of horror escape rooms. The unsettling feeling of fear combined with time sensitive puzzle solving gives me such an adrenaline rush, so I was eager to play E-Scape Room Games’ The Alp.

Can you escape the house ?

An unsettling horror themed game with brilliant puzzles and an excellent eerie narrative
