What do robots and exotic birds have in common with stop motion animation? They're all components of this week's selection of Weekday Escape! Featuring three worthy escape games for your weekday escapism.

• Pencil Rebel - By no means a challenging game, what Pencil Rebel lacks in difficulty is more than made up for in wonderful, amazingly creative artistry. In fact, I don't think I've ever before seen a point-and-click game with such style.
• Robot Room - A fun, cute, sometimes baffling room escape featuring—you guessed it—robots! Don't worry, though, they aren't scary, mean robots a la the Terminator; their sole purpose, it seems, is to stand around with their hands in the air, tantalizingly dangling important escape items just out of your reach.
• Room W&R - A well-made, if fairly standard room escape game; the graphics are nice, the puzzles interesting but not unintuitive. A pleasant fix for any point-and-click craving.
