You watch the iceberg hit the ship you are on! Now you have to Escape The Titanic.

The game starts with you seeing your ship hitting an iceberg through the porthole of your room. Going out of your room, there is a group of people blocking your way. Work your way through to find another room. Escape The Titanic is a puzzle game where you have to survive by leaving the ship before it sinks.

The screen does not have conversations, but you have a constant sound of waves because you are at sea. Occasionally the ship makes a noise, and any interactions sometimes have a sound effect. As you figure out how to interact with objects, only certain things can move when you swipe or slide. 

You do not need money where you are going, but you will need your wits with you. Every room will have a problem. At the bottom of the screen, there are 4 little portholes and a life buoy on the right. Access the menu to save your game on social media, or to adjust the sound. The life buoy has S.O.S written on it. When you tap on the buoy, you can buy a hint or watch an ad to get a hint. 

If you are stuck, you can take your time to figure out, there is no time limit to escape. However, certain rooms will kill you if you do not solve the puzzle quick enough. The 4 portholes are for you to store certain tools you find in your journey up. Once you tap on an item, it will automatically appear there if you can interact with it. 

To use an item, tap on the tool and the ring around it will light up orange. The tool will also appear where your finger is. Even if the tool is not the right one, you can activate it and try to use it to solve a puzzle. To deactivate, tap on the porthole again, and the orange light will go off. You have to deactivate the tool if you are trying to interact with parts in the room, if you do not, the game assumes that you want to use the tool. 

The pictures in the game are simple, but some serve a purpose. There are not many passengers who will stop you on your quest to safety. You are unable to backtrack, once you leave a room, you cannot return. The people you come across do not interact with you, unless it is for you to shove away. Once you finish a level, an arrow will appear to give you directions. 

The words you speak come out as words on top of the screen. If you use a hint, it will also appear as words. It is up to you to figure out the hint and solve the puzzle. As you go further up, the puzzle gets harder. You want to survive, so you will keep going forwards, away from the big crowd but hopefully towards safety. 

To figure out what you can interact with is the first step in Escape The Titanic. Decorations will not move, while part of the puzzle might slide when you swipe on it. Certain rooms have a time limit, but you can restart as much as you need. The game wants you to not drown, so you can replay each level without worrying about the water level unless it is part of the game. 

Once you collect the tools, it will stay with you unless it is only for one use. Certain tools like ropes and wrenches can be reused for many rooms, and they will return to their normal spot after use. Some puzzles are easy to solve, others require a few tries. Some puzzles do not have obvious solutions, and it will take a few tries before your arrow guide appears. 

You have to pull away debris, hotwire a car and  help prepare a meal throughout the game. As you make your way up the ship, you wonder why the people are so relaxed. Don’t they know that the ship has hit an iceberg? Escape The Titanic has a timeline that relates to your location, so the water level will not rise up until you reach a certain stage. 

After reaching some levels, the ship tilts and you have a harder challenge of staying alive. Your puzzles become harder. It takes focus and a few tries to get the solution, but the game does not penalize you unless something in the room is trying to kill you. So take your time and find things that you can interact with before launching in to solve the puzzle.

Before making your escape, you first have to help the women and children board the lifeboat. The game does not make it easy for you, but there is hope for you. The game does not actively try to kill you, so you can replay the levels until things go your way. Some rooms have obvious puzzles waiting for you to tackle, others are hidden and have to be found before you can solve them. 

The main way to play is by tapping and checking different parts of the room if you are not sure. Tap and swipe doors, chests or things that are lying around is your best bet to start. You will notice that some things will slide away, or doors can swing open or shut. From there, find out how to carve a way forward or upwards. 

Not all puzzles are doors and levers, sometimes you have to get creative to gain access to certain parts of the ship. Escape The Titanic requires you to get slightly creative to survive, but do not panic, simply tap on the S.O.S. buoy to get a hint. You are not in a real rush, because the ship will not start sinking until you reach a certain point.
