About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a rush of adrenaline with Escape Room: The Game (Escape Rooms II)! If you enjoy the thrill of unraveling mysteries and the pressure of time, this is the right choice. Here, the group unites to tackle three different scenarios: a Secret Agent mission, a sinister Dentist's office, and a space station in distress. The objective is clear: escape before the clock runs out! The Chrono decoder is your best friend (or foe), counting down your 60 minutes and emitting those sounds that keep you on edge. Communication and collaboration are key, as each player might hold a piece of the puzzle. The difficulty varies among the rooms, ensuring both newcomers and seasoned escape room enthusiasts find a good challenge. It's important to note that several versions of this series exist, so double-check which set of rooms you're getting. This particular edition features the Secret Agent, the Dentist, and the Space Station, making it a great entry point for those wanting the escape room vibe at home. The game has high language dependency, so be prepared with English knowledge or translations, because without understanding the clues, escaping becomes much more complicated!
