About the game
Escape: The Curse of the Temple – Expansion 2: Quest brings two new layers of challenge to the already frantic Escape. The Quest module adds "Quests" that players must complete before escaping, while the Character module offers six different roles with unique abilities. Together, they transform the race against the clock into a more strategic adventure, with character choices and unpredictable challenges that shift the game’s dynamics. The board remains modular, pieces keep spinning in real time, and dice rolling stays at the heart of the mechanic. Each game becomes shorter but more intense, as the pressure to finish the mission and the risk of failure rise. The Character module lets each player pick from Doc, Mechanic, Discoverer, Dark Priest, Muscleman, and Mentalist, each with two abilities that alter how they roll dice or move through the temple. The Quest module shuffles mission tiles and hides them in the deck, creating surprises each turn. If you’re already familiar with Escape, the Quest expansion offers a fresh way to play, solo or in groups, and can be combined with other expansions for an even richer experience.
