About the game

What you do in a play session

If you love the thrill of solving mysteries with a group but prefer something more intimate or just have one partner in crime, Escape Room: The Game – 2 Players is the perfect choice! This edition is specifically designed for duos, offering two exciting new adventures: 'Dagger of the Sultan' and 'Viking Funeral'. The core gameplay mirrors the physical escape room experience: you have a limited time to hunt for clues, piece together information, and solve puzzles before the clock runs out.

What's cool is that you can use either the game's app, which guides you through the story and offers hints when panic sets in, or the physical Chrono Decoder if you already own the original game. This offers great flexibility to enjoy the experience your way.

The complexity is moderate, meaning it's not overwhelmingly difficult but still requires solid reasoning and teamwork. It's ideal for newcomers or seasoned players looking for a quick dose of challenge. The tension builds as time ticks away, and the satisfaction of escaping is immense! Get your minds, communication skills, and detective spirits ready, because these rooms won't solve themselves!
