Horror In Zoo: Critters Escape

An ordinary zoo overrun by monsters is the setting of Horror In Zoo: Critters Escape, a horror escape game from Team-Rex. Your goal is simple to state and hard to achieve: get out through the main gate alive.

To reach the exit you have to find a rune that unlocks the gate, and puzzles and locked areas stand in the way, so much of the time goes into exploring enclosures and paths, collecting keys and working out what opens what. You move at your own pace, but the creatures roaming the grounds cannot be killed, so being seen means running. Your only tool is a strange device that can push back some of the monsters and reveal hidden dangers, and the game encourages using it sparingly.

Reception is divided. The game averages 3.2 from 1,800 ratings: 45% are five stars, but 36% are one star, so plenty of players came away unhappy. It still has 1,000,000+ installs. It is free, supported by ads and has no in-app purchases. The last update was on 2026-05-07, it runs on Android 6.0 or newer and is rated Everyone 10+. We list one version, 1.0, and no file size is recorded.

Players who like tense hide-and-avoid horror with light puzzle solving may enjoy a free run through the zoo, especially on older phones given the low Android requirement. Those who want polished production values or dislike ads should manage their expectations given the split ratings.
