About the game

What you do in a play session

Deckscape: Behind the Curtain is the fifth installment in this series of cooperative games that plop you right into an escape room experience — except instead of running around looking for clues, everything happens on the cards. You and your team have 60 minutes to solve a series of wild puzzles, connect the dots of the story, and escape before time runs out. The cool part? No app or setup required: the cards are your universe, and your creativity is the key. Play solo or with up to 6 friends, but get ready to collectively shout 'EUREKA!' when that mental click finally happens. Don’t let the light BGG weight fool you — some puzzles will make your brain sizzle!
