My group has done actual physical escape rooms together, so Escape Simulator was an easy sell the first time I brought it to a LAN night. Up to eight players can join a single room, more than double what most puzzle co-op games here allow, and the official rooms plus the pile of workshop content mean we have never run out of new places to get stuck. Bigger groups actually fit here. The pacing rewards splitting up, two people crack the safe while two others chase a hidden switch, then everyone converges when the puzzles start overlapping. It is not as tightly authored as Portal 2's campaign, and a few workshop rooms are rough. Still, for a group bigger than a pair, this is the one that scales without losing what makes escape-room puzzling good.
