Backyard Escape
A garden escape-room hunt — comb a backyard for the clues and keys that let you out.
Backyard Escape is an escape-room puzzle set outdoors: you are shut in a walled backyard and have to search the garden, sheds and flower beds for the clues and keys that let you slip away. It brings together seek-and-find searching and escape room puzzling — a backyard to comb for what it is hiding, not a garden to landscape. Uncover each clue, use it where it fits, and the gate finally opens.
A Garden That Hides Its Secrets
Backyard Escape suits a hot afternoon spent indoors in the shade — the sort of still, sticky day when a slow outdoor puzzle on screen beats the glare outside. The garden keeps its secrets in the corners: under a plant pot, behind the shed, tucked into a flower bed. Half the pleasure is the unhurried poking-around, turning over each part of the yard to see what it has been holding.

How to Play
Backyard Escape shuts you into an outdoor scene. Click or tap around the garden to inspect what is there — under plant pots, inside the shed, behind the fence. Collect the items and clues you turn up and hold on to them, then use each one where it belongs. Many of the puzzles ask you to bring two finds together or match a clue to a lock. Keep working across the yard until you uncover the way through the gate.
