The plot is rather simple, but entertaining, especially because of the “local flavour”. There’s a lot of Southern slang in the game – from “that ain’t no verb I got knowledge of” to “is you talking plain English?” – which strengthens the immersion and boosts up the fun factor.

Tag team champions Ben Collins-Sussman and Jack Welch have created a wonderful thing in Hoosegow. It's fun, funny, and guaranteed to bring out the cowpoke in you. (A dusty, bumbling, thieving cowpoke, but a cowpoke nonetheless.) A workout for your imagination as well as your problem-solving skills, Hoosegow is a challenging escape for those of you who have always wanted to ride off into the sunset. Sort of.

It's these elements that make up for a backstory that doesn't necessarily have as much traction as it could and a series of puzzles that have often-hilarious but just-as-often-repetitive solutions. This is a game that's easy to picture but occasionally surprises you, almost always in ways that make you smile, and which is relatively easy to get immersed in. It also provides a surprising amount of gameplay and a reasonable amount of depth for a single-room escape game that requires no notes or mapping, especially when compared to the other games in the competition. I think that it's mostly the charm and lighthearted fun of the game that has earned it all the kudos it's received.
