About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey everyone! Ready to dive headfirst into Neverwinter? In Dungeons & Dragons: Bedlam in Neverwinter, you and a group of fellow adventurers will have to unravel a series of mysterious disappearances in Icewind Dale. It's an escape room-style board game, perfect for 2 to 6 players who enjoy a good cooperative challenge. The adventure is divided into 3 acts, which can be played all at once in an epic marathon or in separate sessions. First, each player creates their character, adding that personal touch to the journey. Then, things heat up: you'll explore a tavern, face breathtaking battles against classic D&D monsters, and go on a wild chase through the Underdark after an evil mage and his sinister cult. To unravel this whole mystery and save the missing people, the key is to explore every nook and cranny, solve the puzzles that appear, and gather all the clues. Each act ends with a mystery to be solved, so stay sharp! The game is very immersive and requires a lot of reading and communication among players for everything to go smoothly. If you enjoy D&D and challenges that make you think, this game is for you!
