But since college didn't work out and Mom sold the house, I'm forced to stay here with my Grandma. But it's not all bad.

!!Escape from Eden Park includes the following tropes:

* AncientOrderOfProtectors: The FFC, a fraternal order that looked out for the weird and tried to record and correct it. There are apparently several chapters outside of Eden Park, although [[MysteriousStranger the informant]] isn't in contact with them.
* CoolOldLady: GrandmaColette
* FakeVideoCameraView: the way the videos in the series are presented
* FreudianExcuse: FFC comes off as a jerk to some of the players, but he(?) was close with Ben, who recently died.
* TheGreatFlood: Eden Park floods every 100 years
* MysteriousStranger: The players came into contact with a member of FFC during the course of Case 1. He was a friend of Ben's and is determined that Riley not share her brother's fate, but beyond that hasn't revealed much about himself.
* NightmareFuel: The Faceless Ghost - ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Case 1 deals with an angry ghost that plays on Riley's guilt about her brother's death.
* SolveTheSoupCans: Par for the course in any ARG.
* TooDumbToLive: The local newspaper, the Eden Park Echo, built their office directly next to a river that floods every year like clockwork, and refuse to move their premises.
* TheUnFavourite: Cate, the ghost who felt overshadowed by her sister Margaret.
* UnreliableNarrator: It soon becomes clear that Ben wasn't entirely honest with anyone.
