A strange little side quest
Locked Escape belongs to a much longer story of play than a browser tab might suggest. Alexey Pajitnov created Tetris in 1984 after drawing inspiration from pentomino puzzles, then simplified the idea around shapes made from four squares. That is only half the story. Spacewar! appeared on MIT's PDP-1 in 1962 and became one of the earliest influential computer games shared among programmers. So a round of Locked Escape is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer puzzles timeline.
