If you don't have any local friends to play with, you can also play online with crossplay which functions similar to split-screen. Playing a friend gives you an extra brain to solve puzzles as well as a buddy to enjoy the delightful gameplay of Escape Academy.

Once you do this, you can start a new game or select a pre-existing one, hook up either mouse and keyboard or controllers, and hop into Escape Academy in glorious split-screen.
