About the game

What you do in a play session

Ever wanted a sprawling adventure that actually fits in your pocket? That's exactly what 48 Rooms: Cryptid Maze delivers! This is a tabletop experience where you build a constantly shifting maze using 48 cards. You find yourself abandoned in a labyrinth filled with bizarre beasts and curious critters, and there's only one way out: find Bigfoot! You'll need to navigate through 48 different rooms, racing against your fellow players to escape before you end up as a snack for some cryptozoological terror. This original game is packed with a variety of cryptids, ranging from the legendary to the truly obscure. It's incredibly easy to pick up and play, making it the perfect companion for a casual game night or a quick round at the pub. Because the maze is built from cards, the layout changes every single time, ensuring no two escapes are ever the same. It's a fast-paced, entertaining race through a shifting environment. Suitable for older children and adults, it's the ideal choice for anyone who loves mystery, legendary creatures, and portable games that don't require a massive table setup. Whether you're a hardcore cryptozoology fan or just looking for a fun, quick game to play anywhere, this maze will keep you on your toes as you hunt for the big guy and try to stay alive!
