Indie developer Lost Sock Studio has officially revealed its next puzzle-filled adventure, Escape the Riddlerock Ruins, a first-person escape room game set deep within mysterious ancient ruins. Announced on February 5, 2026, the upcoming title marks the Swedish studio’s return following the success of Escape From Mystwood Mansion.
Designed as a standalone experience, Escape the Riddlerock Ruins blends environmental storytelling, clever puzzles, and relaxed exploration—all with a loyal dog companion by your side.
A New Escape Room Adventure Set in Ancient Ruins
In Escape the Riddlerock Ruins, players venture into long-forgotten ruins overtaken by nature. Vines creep across stone walls, hidden chambers conceal mechanical contraptions, and cryptic inscriptions hint at secrets buried for centuries.
The adventure spans a variety of handcrafted environments, from sunlit jungle ruins to hidden mountain chambers, each designed to reward curiosity, observation, and logical thinking. Every space encourages players to slow down, take in the surroundings, and piece together the history of the enigmatic Riddlerock Ruins.
Relaxed Puzzle Solving With No Pressure
True to Lost Sock Studio’s design philosophy, Escape the Riddlerock Ruins emphasizes cozy, pressure-free gameplay. There are no timers or fail states pushing players forward. Instead, exploration and puzzle-solving unfold at your own pace, allowing full immersion in the atmosphere.
To support players of all experience levels, the game includes an optional multi-level hint system, offering guidance when needed without spoiling solutions outright. Whether you’re a seasoned escape room fan or a newcomer to puzzle adventures, the experience is designed to feel welcoming and rewarding.
A Loyal Dog Companion Joins the Journey
One of the standout features of Escape the Riddlerock Ruins is your four-legged companion. The loyal dog accompanies players throughout the ruins, helping sniff out clues and assisting with puzzles along the way.
Rather than being a simple cosmetic addition, the dog is woven directly into the gameplay, reinforcing the game’s cozy tone while adding a layer of charm and interaction to the puzzle-solving experience.
