The Mr. Rabbit Magic Show
Our verdict
9/10
- Difficulty: Easy
- Players: 1
- Playtime: 1–2 h
The Mr. Rabbit Magic Show is a free point-and-click puzzle game made by Rusty Lake to mark ten years of the series. You watch the stage magician Mr. Rabbit perform twenty strange acts, and each one is a small puzzle where you poke at props, boxes and tricks to make the next surprise happen. It suits Rusty Lake fans first, and newcomers who want a free sample of the studio's eerie, surreal style.
Players love how well the magic-show format fits the series: every act sets up a fresh bizarre twist, and long-time fans enjoy the meta nods and the peek behind Mr. Rabbit's curtain. Reviewers praise the soundtrack, sound effects and the familiar hand-drawn art, and several newcomers say it convinced them to buy the paid games.
It is short: most players finished in one to two hours. A few fans felt it was less inventive than the main games, and one found it more frustrating than fun. Since it costs nothing, there is little reason not to play it, but Rusty Lake Hotel or Cube Escape: Paradox show the studio at its best.

- Each act ends in an unexpected Rusty Lake-style twist
- Meta celebration packed with nods for long-time fans
Cons
