Hi! I created an "Escape Site". It has a score of challenging puzzles designed to make you think outside the box, and think differently about the way websites work. The success rate is about 10%. How do you fare?

I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

This was awesome! At first I had no idea what to do, but luckily there's a hint button. I really liked 7, 2 and 1. I didn't liked 5.

Here are some suggestions:

- I would suggest to do some very easy intro levels at first so put in the mood of the game.

- Sometimes the piano sounded glitchy.

- Clock didn't reset when I pressed the button "Try again".

- Add support for number pad.

Can't wait for the next version!

Nice! Thanks so much for the feedback @kinduff. Those are really good points.

that's super cool! you should think on adding more than one clue.

Yeah. Definitely a good idea. I'm told the clues are a bit cryptic as they are. It would be nice to have another if you're really stuck.

Haha. It's hard to give hints without giving it away to everyone else. Feel free to pm me on twitter @mitch_crowe and I'll be happy to give a hint.
