Escape Simulator 2 : Build-a-Room New Deadline + New Hotfix Update

We’ve just released a fresh update for Escape Simulator 2 !
This one focuses on improving stability, fixing level issues, and polishing both the base game and the Room Editor. Multiplayer interactions are now much smoother, performance is better on lower-end PCs, and we’ve done some early winter cleaning in the lobby – goodbye pumpkins, see you next year!

The Room Editor also got a big round of improvements, from fixing memory leaks to better undo/redo behavior, more reliable scripts, and a bunch of small but important quality-of-life tweaks. Thank you Builders for helping us!

🏆 Build-a-Room Competition Update The Build-a-Room competition is still live!
Due to popular demand, we’ve decided to extend the submission deadline by one week, from November 10th to November 17th .

We can’t wait to see what amazing rooms you’ll create!
