About the game
Escape: The Curse of the Temple – Queenie 1: The Pit is an expansion that cranks up the challenge of the base game. Here, players encounter a mysterious pit that offers big rewards—if you're willing to risk it all. To activate two gems in the pit, you must roll five curses at once, which locks all your dice! Without help from your teammates, you're stuck. The expansion also introduces new curses like 'Lost Treasure' (goodbye, treasure!) and 'Really Cursed' (now you draw two curses whenever you're cursed). If you already love Escape's cooperative chaos, this expansion is a must for those craving more adrenaline and desperate decisions.
