About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey folks! Picture this: you're trapped in a sinister prison where each room has four doors, but none seem to lead out. The goal? Find the dreaded Room 25, the supposed exit from this nightmare. The twist is, not everyone is just looking to escape. Some might be disguised guards, waiting for the perfect moment to mess up everyone's plan. In Room 25, it's a cooperative game, but with a suspenseful edge: who's the traitor? Each round, movements are pre-programmed, meaning you'll have to talk a lot, negotiate, and maybe even betray each other. Oh, and the board changes with every game, making things even more unpredictable. The game also offers five different modes, from full cooperation to a solo challenge for those who like to face the odds alone. It's a quick game, with sessions lasting no more than 30 minutes, and it travels well. Perfect for those who enjoy suspense with plot twists and aren't afraid to suspect their neighbor!
