About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an adventure! In Escape Room: The Game – Puzzle Adventures: Secret of The Scientist, you're a rookie cop who stumbles into a sinister mansion where an alarm is blaring and, worse, there's a body on the floor. To top it off, the doors won't open from the inside! Your mission? Escape this predicament by solving a series of riddles that grant you new puzzle pieces and unlock new areas of the house. It's like a board game escape room boosted with a jigsaw puzzle! The box, designed like an advent calendar, hides everything you need: the story, the riddles, and a decoder to check your answers. The trick is that you assemble a giant mansion puzzle, but it's made up of 5 smaller puzzles, each representing a room. You can play with time running against you, increasing the tension, or relax and enjoy the mystery without pressure. It's a cooperative experience that requires deduction and teamwork, perfect for those who enjoy unraveling mysteries and assembling puzzles. The game has high language dependency, so it's good to have someone proficient in English to help with reading the clues and story. Ideal for 1 to 2 players seeking a challenge of approximately 150 minutes, with a complexity considered light to moderate.
