On August 24th, 1814, the White House, then known as the President’s Mansion, burned to the ground.  The British invaded the United States capital and began their looting of the city, yet one key piece of American History was saved from destruction… the portrait of George Washington.  Dolley Madison, the first lady at the time, historically stayed behind until the painting could be safely removed… yet in a new timeline, the painting was not able to be saved.  We are sending you, agents, back in time to the burning of Washington.  You have one hour to explore the mansion, save the painting, and escape the flames to restore history.   But as you will soon discover, there is far more at stake here than a painting… 

        This is a “re-imagining” of our ninth box in the subscription, which was released in June/July of 2018. If you have played this box, many of the puzzles in this game will be the same, though we have added a few surprises. Since the physical game of “Escape: Inferno” was permanently retired in July of 2024, this digital game will offer new fans of Escape the Crate a chance to start the game from the very beginning.
