About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a wild adventure without leaving your couch! In Escape Room: The Game – Family Edition: The Jungle, you and your crew have 60 minutes to unravel the mysteries of the jungle and escape before time runs out. Think of it as a cooperative game where everyone works together, like a team of seasoned explorers, to decipher enigmas and find hidden clues. The Chrono Decoder, a cool electronic gadget, keeps track of the countdown and even offers hints if things get tough, creating that thrilling tension of a suspense movie. The key here is that everyone wins together or loses together – no room for individualism! Each player has a role and needs to perform well for the team to have a chance. It's the kind of game that tests communication and group problem-solving skills, perfect for gathering family or friends for a night full of excitement and brainpower. The box comes with everything you need: the electronic decoder, plenty of keys, hint cards, and three jungle-themed adventures: Magic Monkey, Snake Bite, and Moon Portal. Just a heads-up: two of these adventures share content with the Jumanji game from the same series, but the jungle experience is unique! It's a great choice for those who enjoy the escape room vibe but want something more accessible and fun to play at home.
