About the game
What you do in a play session
If you crave the thrill of unraveling mysteries on suspenseful nights, get ready! Escape Room: The Game – 2 Players Horror brings the vibe of a real escape room to your home, but with a macabre twist focused on two-player cooperation. The goal is simple: you and your partner have 60 minutes to solve puzzles and find the right clues before time runs out. Communication and teamwork are essential, because here, you either escape together or get trapped together – no chance of one saving themselves alone.
This game includes a 15-minute tutorial to get you started, called "Bloody Mary," and two full adventures to keep you on the edge of your seat. To play, you'll need a smartphone with the "Escape Room The Game" app installed, which houses the Chrono Decoder, or use the physical decoder from the base game if you already own it. The "House by the Lake" and "Little Girl" scenarios plunge you into pure horror situations where every decision counts and the tension only builds. It's an intense experience that makes time fly, perfect for those who enjoy a mental challenge with a dash of fright and plenty of collaboration. If you're new to escape rooms, expect total immersion!
