Welcome to this week’s installment of F2P Friday, where we highlight our favorite Free-2-Play games. Sometimes, hidden gems fall through the cracks. This is where we dig for you and feature a new F2P game we know you will enjoy every week. This week, we play Tricky Doors, a hidden object puzzle game with varied escape room-style mechanics.
Tricky Doors
You can open a lot of different doors. Behind each door, you will find hostile and friendly worlds and familiar and exotic landscapes. Your task is always the same — you need to leave the place where the game sent you, this time through a portal, to move forward. Solve puzzles and find hidden objects. Many of them will be familiar to you. Some of them you’ll see for the first time. Can you use all of them to find a way out? Challenge your quick-wittedness.

The Basics
Let’s get down to the basics of Tricky Doors by developer Five-BN Games. At its core, Tricky Doors is a captivating game that offers a variety of puzzles. Find a creative way to get out of each room. The controls are easy to master with the point-and-click game mechanics, but deciphering what is clickable in the environment can take some time. The minigame puzzles are randomized, with a few different variations of answers that make any replays feel fresh.
The minigames are where the puzzle difficulty ramps up the most. Most story puzzles happen within the environment and require basic, novice-level logic leaps to solve. There are options to use hints or skip minigames with coins, but the only way to refresh your coin bank is with microtransactions, which makes the game no longer free.
