Cube Escape: Birthday

Cube Escape: Birthday is the seventh game and Dale Vandermeer's second. It opens the 2016 pair after six Cube Escape entries shipped in 2015 alone.

Last updated 2026-08-26

The seventh game and the second with Dale Vandermeer, after Case 23.

Where it sits in the series

Birthday is where the release pace changes. Six Cube Escape games came out in 2015; 2016 produced two, and both of them are Dale's. From here the line slows to roughly one a year until it ends with Paradox in 2018.

What is confirmed

Released2016
LineCube Escape — entry 7 of the nineteen, and the seventh of the 10 Cube Escape games
ProtagonistDale Vandermeer
In Cube Escape CollectionYes — the Steam bundle covers the first nine Cube Escape games

Everything this table does not list is in the unconfirmed notes on this page rather than filled in from a guess. The four-source basis for the catalogue is set out on all 19 games.

Play order

In release order this is number 7 of nineteen. It follows Cube Escape: The Mill and is followed by Cube Escape: Theatre.

The two lines interleave by year, so a flat release list is not the same as reading the Cube Escape games first. The sorted version is on Rusty Lake games in order.

Not confirmed

We could not verify the following against a source we trust, so it is left out rather than guessed at.

  • Exact release date. The year is confirmed against two sources; the day is not.
  • Playtime. Rusty Lake has never published a figure for this entry and no aggregator lists one.
  • Current price and free/paid status. Being collected per entry from the store listings.
  • Platform list. Wikipedia does not give one for this entry and it has not been confirmed from a store page.
  • Metacritic only scores four Rusty Lake games. The absence of a score here is not a low score.
