## Description
If you enjoyed the rush and tension of Magic Maze, get ready, because the gang is in trouble in Magic Maze Tower! This time, our heroes – the dwarf, elf, barbarian, and wizard – are no longer just hanging out at the mall; they're stuck in a maximum-security prison. The mission now is to escape, and to do that, they need to ascend level by level, completing objectives on each floor before they can break free. 

The game keeps the chaotic and cooperative essence of the series: everyone plays at the same time, trying to coordinate actions without being able to speak a word! Yes, communication is still limited to gestures and glances, which guarantees laughter and moments of desperation. The big news is that the hourglass is gone, so you can breathe a little easier (but not too much!). Each level presents a new challenge, with a different board layout and specific conditions to meet. You'll need to use each hero's unique abilities and think fast to move the pieces, solve the puzzles, and reach the exit before time (imaginary, but still tense!) runs out. 

With unfolding scenarios and the option to play solo or with up to three friends, Magic Maze Tower offers a dynamic and challenging experience. It's perfect for those who love cooperative games with a puzzle twist and plenty of adrenaline, even without the constant tick-tock of the hourglass. Prepare for the tower climb and good luck with the escape!

## FAQ
### In Magic Maze Tower, do I need to talk to other players?
No! Talking is forbidden, just like in the original Magic Maze. You can use gestures, glances, and pointing, but no words to coordinate actions.

### Does this game have an hourglass?
No, the hourglass has been removed. This means you don't have to literally race against time, but the tension of completing objectives is still present.

### How many players can participate?
The game is for 1 to 4 players. It works very well as a group, but it also has a very interesting solo mode.

### Is the game difficult? Who is it recommended for?
It's recommended for those who already enjoy Magic Maze, cooperative games with communication challenges, and real-time puzzles. The difficulty can vary depending on the level and the group's coordination.

### Do I need to own the original Magic Maze to play?
No, Magic Maze Tower is a standalone game and can be played without owning the previous game.

### How does the 'prison' and escape work?
Each level of the tower is a small challenge with specific objectives. By completing all objectives of a level and using the exit, you advance to the next, trying to escape the prison.
