Also, a quick heads-up if you somehow missed it: Magic DLC has been released so make sure to check it out! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2419810/Escape_Simulator_Magic_DLC/ No time to waste! Let's find out who stood out the most! [h2]The Aurora Treasure 🏴‍☠️💰[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39212689/6762649f7f5549db14b89a81742d2dd10df61184.jpg[/img] You're a MIGHTY PIRATE YARRRRRRR! This one goes a bit back in December of 2023, but we had to feature it. The Aurora Treasure is an incredible new map by Asshai who is responsible for an additional two, equally awesome Escape Simulator community maps. However, "The Aurora Treasure" stands out as a unique gem. In a nutshell, you find yourself as the last surviving member of a pirate crew on the quest for the legendary Aurora Treasure in the frozen North. Guided by the enigmatic Dark Compass, your destination is tantalizingly close. With no alternative but to press on or risk freezing in icy waters, the journey unfolds in this gripping escapade. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3110105378 [h2]The Eccentric Studio 🧪[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39212689/c7d94bd5e1c32d101b079cbe7ee52d8a99f14612.jpg[/img] Brush$troke stands out as one of the most esteemed room builders in Escape Simulator, and this latest creation initially began as an experiment. What started as a casual endeavor to explore new ideas swiftly evolved into an entirely new room that we now have the pleasure of experiencing. Way to go, Brush$troke! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3131713950 [h2]The Immortal Legacy - Part 1 - The Philosopher's Stone [/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39212689/a63513b3060519e210ce85797ccd2ff9f9754a28.jpg[/img] Embark on a mysterious adventure with Emma, daughter of the famed Professor Robert, who vanishes under puzzling (get it, get it?) circumstances. Tasked with uncovering her father's groundbreaking discovery, you navigate a secretive mansion filled with traps and puzzles. The goal? Locate the immortality stone before it lands in the hands of looters. It's a perilous journey where your wit and courage are the keys to unveiling secrets and preserving history. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3139599402 [h2]Lost Lines: A Sketch Odyssey ✍️[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39212689/8e9fb36c14fa60ef4d72447880f62ddb3a06d3f3.jpg[/img] In this interesting community room, join a stick man navigating a sketch world, grappling with grief following the loss of his wife. The author suggests simply taking your time, absorbing the atmosphere, and delving into the narrative through sound and story. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3149800025 [h2]Got Games On Your Phone? 🎮📱[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39212689/891898db45efa8814d258d5220aeec690be63734.jpg[/img] Step into a nostalgic journey as you go back in time to play beloved mobile games from your childhood. This map features four fan-favorite games, with an optional bonus awaiting at the end. Despite a few bugs, the experience remains enjoyable and innovative. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3160892509 [h1]Extra[/h1] So this is the first time we're adding an "Extra" category to Community Picks because in this category we'll put stuff that's not necessarily a community room, but some creators are making content that helps other builders make community rooms even better. [h2]LUA scripts ⚙️[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39212689/8dff00c5e888ca4abad03485f80ab3b5bc5e5504.jpg[/img] GG3L is rocking the Escape Simulator scene by taking the Room Editor to the next level with LUA scripts. Ever heard of LUA? It's a cool coding language that spices up games with extra stuff. Escape Simulator didn't have stairs due to its square room design, but GG3L said "no problem" and used LUA to add stairs, elevators, and slopes. It's a great example of how modding can totally transform a game, giving it a fresh twist beyond what was originally planned. Big props to GG3L for their awesome work!

[h2]The official Escape Simulator Wiki[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39212689/2721ef3419c16646fcfccf5e0c1255b30398e00f.jpg[/img] Great news for all Escape Simulator Builders!
