It's vacation time for some folks...either to escape from winter or to indulge in summer in all its regale. As far as I'm concerned, there is no better place to holiday than someplace sunny, sandy and tropical. I bet FunkyLand and Esklavos are thinking the same thing with some ideas of mangoes and magical books thrown in. Meanwhile, No1Game's escape-men refuse to go to work; you could let them enjoy the time off, but then what sort of manager would you be? Read on for more about this week's Weekday Escape selections...
Fruit Kitchens No.7: Apple Mango - The luscious colors of apple mangoes, a pretty sandy beach outside making your toes tap just thinking of walking along it, and FunkyLand's setting is oh so hip—what more is needed to enjoy this little escape? Perhaps harder puzzles would be nice but, despite the too obvious clues, the clever hands-on feel makes them fun all the same. Besides, the simple task of searching for fruit in this game is heaps more fun than trying to find your other missing flip-flop.
Magic Book Escape - Esklavos and magical go so well together. One glance at the gorgeous artwork and already you can sense the magic. Then, solve your way through the scenes and the items you need to "escape" magically appear before your eyes. This is also one of Esklavos easier games; as long as you can find the clues, you probably won't have much trouble figuring out the rest. The puzzles are nicely tactile and involve some manipulation of the elements; although this can be a tad tedious with a point-and-click interface, its creative feel makes it more satisfying to complete.
Find the Escape-Men 105: Freshmen - No1Game never has trouble thinking up scenarios in which ten green little men can be hidden, but this particular set-up hits a little closer to home for those of us who can't stand being inside an office when the sky is sunny and the days are long. But gathering up the escape-men isn't too hard, as far as puzzles and hiding places go. If you're used to No1Game's quirks and tricks, then you'll know that sometimes doing nothing is exactly what needs doing while other tasks need more frequent checks.
We love escape games, and our readers love talking about them and sharing hints! How about you? Let us know what you think, ask for clues, or help out other players in the comments below.

Find the ESCAPE-MEN 105: Freshmen … Mega-extended WALKTHROUGH
Go into the office and steal someone's headphones off of the four desks that are pushed together.
Look under the desk at lower left by pulling out the chair and peeking your head underneath.
Now, peek under the desk at the upper left.
Next, peek under the desk at the lower right.
Might as well peek under the desk at the upper right, too.
Oh, hey! Some lazy employee is hiding there! SNATCH HIM UP!
Okay, time to go take a bathroom break.
NOT the ladies' room. Hen desu ne!
Can't go? Okay, then go back to the office and check out the big desk in the corner.
Ahhh. This is a nice chair. Let's take a rest for a few seconds.
Ring ring!
Ring ring!
Hey, you better answer the phone.
Oh, it's the mother of one of our missing employees.
…or is it?
Nope! SNATCH HIM UP!
Okay, now, sit back in the chair and look around the office….
…boy that's a nice motivational poster in the upper left.
How did we hire such magical employees?! SNATCH HIM UP!
Alright, time to get to some emails.
Open up the laptop computer.
Click on the garbage can in the upper left.
Nothing?
Okay, try the next icon down.
Nothing?
Hmmm… what about the third icon?
Wow. Nothing there, either?
Well, what about that last icon? The one that looks like an envelope.
Pictman Tom is absent. Okay, well. I guess it's time to get back to looking for everyone else. Sheesh.
Grab the cellular telephone.
MORE ICONS?! AUGH!
Click the circle with the "i" in the lower right corner.
No information there.
Try the magnifying glass icon just above.
Nothing again. Strange.
What about the blue and red icon in the lower left?
Strike three!
Tap on the red sun shaped icon next.
Well, at least we know the weather.
Tap the weather information to get back to the home screen.
Tap the phone shaped icon in the middle.
There must not be any service in this building.
Well, there's only one icon left. The music note. Might as well tap that.
Tap on the big triangle.
Nothing but a blue note and a black square? Alright. Enough messing around with your phone. Time to get back to work!
Or, rather, let's use the bathroom again.
One of the toilets is occupato.
Knock! Knock!
Knock! Knock!
Knock! Knock!
Knock! Knock!
Knock! Knock!
Better leave the bathroom. That guy might get the wrong idea.
Hey! A good idea! Grab that light bulb!
Might be a good idea to go upstairs.
An insane green guy!
Can't grab him yet.
It's nice weather up here, though.
Check the smart phone to see if it's still got the correct weather forecast.
Looks like rain. Better go back inside.
Time for a smoke break.
Click the cigarette shape.
Cough cough cough!
It's all smoky in here!
Except for that one space in the upper left.
A locked panel?
Uh-oh! Can't hold it any longer. This smoke break will have to wait!
Back to the mens' room!
That guy's still in there!
It would be a good idea to make him leave.
Use the light bulb on the left toilet door.
SNATCH HIM UP!
Let's go take a nap. This searching around is tiresome.
Click on the bed shaped shape.
Woah! Woah! Woah! Hey, get up you lazy bum!
How can we wake him up?
Maybe there's something under that vacant bed that'll help.
Hey! A key! Well, this guy can stay asleep. This key has a date with a lock!
Go back to the smoking room and use the key on the locked panel.
Looks like there's a lever inside.
Pull it down.
That really cleared things up.
And one of our lazy employees is taking a smoke break! SNATCH HIM UP!
Yipes, it's stinky in here. There's a big window in the upper right, but let's go upstairs instead. More air on the roof.
It's raining, but that insane guy is still up here.
SNATCH HIM UP!
Alright, that's enough air. Time to check emails again.
Go back to the big desk in the office and read the latest email.
Nothing important.
Well, this is an office, so let's make some copies.
Exit the office and go back in to where the four desks are.
Go up to the copy machine.
Open the top.
Got anything to copy?
You could try to copy an escape man. It's been that kind of day.
Put an escape man on the glass.
Close the top.
Click the black rectangle.
It's off.
Check behind the copy machine for a power cord.
Oh. Great. Our company is so cheap you have to pay for your own copies.
Use the purse on the coin slot.
Go back and click on the black rectangle.
Make a copy by clicking MONO and then START.
Take the black and white escape man copy.
Well, that was dumb. Better make a color copy.
Try COLOR and START instead.
SNATCH HIM UP!
Time to check emails again.
OOOOoooooh. My goodness. Tee-hee-hee.
Hmm… better not look at the attachment. That'd be wrong.
Tee-hee-hee. Nobody's looking.
Check the attachment by clicking on the paper clip icon.
WOW-WEE! Oh. Well. It's not that bad.
SNATCH HIM UP!
Ugh. Well it's been a tough day. Time to take a nap again.
Sheesh. That lazy bum is still sleeping! Better wake him up.
But how?
Maybe some loud music.
Attach the headphones to the smartphone.
Put the headphones and phone combination on the lazy employee.
Nothing?
Okay. Pick it back up and take a closer look at the music icon. Is it still a black square?
What does the icon in the very top right of the screen say?
Is it a big red X? The sound must be muted.
Look for a volume switch.
Click near the left side of the phone to turn it.
Click the switch.
Turn the phone back around and see if the volume icon indicates that the sound is no longer muted.
It does? Cool.
Put the headphones back on the green dude with the snot bubble.
SNATCH HIM UP!
Well all that excitement cured your need for a nap. Time to get some fresh air.
But, not on the roof.
Go back to the smoking room and open the window.
Ah. Fresh air.
It'll help us to think where the last escape man is.
Sometimes you have to wait around for something to happen.
But, not this time.
Click near the right edge of the window to peer outside.
Elite Division? SNATCH HIM UP!
That was escape man number ten, right?
Why didn't anything happen?
Count the escape men again.
You picked up ten escape men, for sure. What's the big idea?
Remember back that you put one down.
Back at the copy machine.
Go re-snatch that guy!
Oh, no! Yakuza!
Oh, it's just our employees wearing suits.
YOU WIN!
