About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a chilling adventure in "Don't Go In There"! You and your group of curious friends have ventured into a haunted house and, naturally, messed with things you shouldn't have, awakening an evil presence. Now, the only way out is to undo the curse before it consumes your sanity!
This game is an electrifying mix of 'push your luck' and 'set destruction,' perfect for those who enjoy light suspense and quick decisions. Each turn, you'll choose a room in the house to explore, but beware: the deeper you go, the higher your chance of getting what you need to get rid of curses, but also the greater the risk of attracting ghosts. It's a constant dilemma: risk it all for a valuable item or play it safe?
When three explorers venture into the same room, the ghost dice come into play, and the amount of hauntings you accumulate can be mitigated depending on where you positioned yourself. Then, the order of taking cards (cursed items) is decided by the depth of your exploration. In the end, whoever has the most ghosts becomes the main host and gains more curses. The goal is simple: have the fewest curses to escape unscathed! With easy-to-learn rules and quick 25-35 minute games, "Don't Go In There" is a great choice for game nights with a touch of horror and lots of fun.
It's a game that shines with 2 to 5 players, offering a tense and fun experience, ideal for those who enjoy a bit of luck and strategy in a spooky thematic package. The variable setup ensures that each visit to the haunted house is a new experience, keeping the suspense high.
