Today, indie developer Total Mayhem Games has taken the gaming world by storm with a delightful surprise: the release of We Were Here Expeditions: The Friendship, the latest installment in the beloved co-op puzzle franchise. With nearly 10 million players worldwide, the We Were Here series has captivated gamers since its inception in 2017. Now, the developers are offering a taste of their iconic co-op puzzle fun with this bite-sized adventure, and the best part? It's absolutely free!

Whether you're playing with a friend who's near or far, the magic of We Were Here brings you together.
A Series of Co-op Puzzles Like No Other
The We Were Here series has captured the hearts of gamers worldwide, with titles such as We Were Here, We Were Here Too, We Were Here Together, and the record-breaking We Were Here Forever. These titles are available on Steam, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4, with We Were Here Forever also launching on Epic Games, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
All subsequent We Were Here games have embraced cross-platform play since the release of We Were Here Forever, ensuring that players on various systems can collaborate seamlessly.
The Ultimate Friendship Test
The new released We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip is the inaugural entry in the new "We Were Here Expeditions" series, designed to test the strength of friendships. In this co-op adventure, you and your partner will face a series of challenging trials that demand exceptional communication, teamwork, and trust.
The game is available for free on PlayStation 5 & 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Epic Games Store, and Steam. It was just unveiled at WASD x IGN, where attendees had the opportunity to play alongside the developers and celebrate this release.
Marion Strumpel, Marketing Director at Total Mayhem Games, shares her excitement: "After the success of We Were Here Forever, we were really looking forward to doing something special to celebrate our 'friendchise.' (pun intended) We wanted to offer all gamers — no matter who they are or where they come from, whether they've played all of our games or none of them — a chance to enjoy the charm of the We Were Here Series, which is exactly what we're doing with The FriendShip and its free release. We hope everyone enjoys this adventure, as we believe it is a well-deserved treat for all."
Taking the power of friendship in a new direction
The adventure begins with two explorers receiving a mysterious distress call, echoing the start of game "We Were Here Together". Upon following the signal, they find themselves on a deserted island housing an abandoned amusement park filled with perplexing trials. These challenges require partners to work together, putting their communication and teamwork skills to the test.
Unlike previous games in the series, The FriendShip offers a more casual experience focused on fun and friendship rather than escaping. This standalone adventure is ideal for newcomers and emphasizes communication, teamwork, and trust. The success of these challenges directly influences the state of the explorers' friendship, visually reflected in the teamwork score awarded at the end of the game. Failure is not a roadblock but an opportunity for improvement, allowing players to attempt the puzzles repeatedly. Veteran explorers can strive for the perfect score and showcase their puzzle-solving and communication prowess.
Exploring New Avenues with We Were Here Expeditions
We Were Here Expeditions paves the way for Total Mayhem Games to expand the We Were Here universe while preserving the cherished co-op gameplay. These expeditions introduce new players to the series and provide long-time fans with bite-sized, We Were Here-flavored puzzles that take one or two hours to complete. With asymmetrical co-op puzzles and communication via walkie-talkies, the expeditions prioritize the joy of gaming together over traditional escape room gameplay. While these adventures are interconnected with the main series, they don't require prior knowledge, making them perfect for social puzzle experiments with friends.
Make or break your Friendship Now
Friends can enjoy this asymmetrical co-op puzzle game together on all platforms. The FriendShip is free to claim on Steam, Epic Games, PlayStation 5 & 4 until October 13. Xbox players can access the game for free on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One for ten hours after starting the trial. Starting October 14, the game will be available for €3.99 / $3.99 / £2.99 on all platforms.
To celebrate The FriendShip's release, the indie hit We Were Here Forever is available at a 35% discount on Steam, the Epic Games Store, PlayStation, and Xbox until September 28.
