Loregend (formerly EscapeMaker) review
A visual browser-game builder for teachers and puzzle makers, with classroom tools and HTML export.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Loregend, formerly EscapeMaker, is a browser-based tool for making point-and-click escape games. Its visual scene editor, puzzle components, inventory, and event logic suit teachers creating lesson activities as well as independent puzzle makers. Classroom rosters and nickname logins also let students build their own games without student email addresses being collected under the classroom plan. It runs on the web and publishes games for browser play through the Loregend Portal.
The editor is the central draw: creators can arrange scenes, preview them in real time, navigate with a visual room map, and connect triggers, conditions, and actions. Puzzles include combination locks, wires, jigsaws, and sliders; collectible and combinable inventory items add another layer to the game structure. Reusable object templates can save repeated work. Paid plans add HTML game export, which gives creators another way to share games or use them in an LMS. Canvas, Schoology, and Google Sites are listed integrations.
The Free plan includes 10 scenes, 10 classic puzzle types, 10 uploads of personal pictures or sounds, and one Portal publish. Builder costs $9.99 monthly or $79.99 annually and adds unlimited projects and scenes, all puzzle types, the full art library, and HTML export. Studio costs $19.99 monthly or $149.99 annually; it adds uncapped publishing, four times Builder storage, custom font uploads, and Newgrounds medals and scoreboards. The Classrooms plan is $99 annually for a teacher plus up to 150 students. Loregend fits educators who want to author visual puzzle games and use classroom logins; those seeking a non-browser authoring tool or support beyond documentation should consider alternatives.
