Escape Game Wagashi is a tap-to-play adventure set in a traditional Japanese sweets shop. Players must solve hidden puzzles in each room to successfully escape from the shop. The game offers an auto-save feature that saves progress but note that deleting the app will also remove saved data. Additionally, if players get stuck, they can watch video ads for hints or answers to assist in puzzle-solving.

Players can utilize the capture feature by watching video ads to use the camera a limited number of times, allowing them to take pictures of specific areas for puzzle-solving. The game involves tapping on screen areas of interest, moving using on-screen arrows, and selecting and using items to progress through various puzzles.
