About the game
Get ready for a breathtaking experience in Room 25 Ultimate! You and your friends are trapped in a labyrinthine prison, filled with rooms that have four doors but no apparent exit. The goal? Find the mythical Room 25 and escape this nightmare. But beware, not everyone there wants out. Some might be disguised guardians, waiting for the perfect moment to betray the group and ensure no one escapes.

Room 25 Ultimate plunges you into constant tension. Each round, actions are pre-programmed and simultaneous, meaning you need to negotiate, discuss, and perhaps even bluff to survive. Communication is key, but so is suspicion. Can you figure out who the traitor is before it's too late?

Featuring two incredible game modes – the classic full Cooperation or the thrilling Hidden Social Identity (where the traitor acts in the shadows) – and the option to play solo, Room 25 Ultimate is super versatile. This "Ultimate" edition includes the base game and the first expansion, offering even more content and replayability. It's a game that blends bluffing, memory, and pure survival, perfect for those who enjoy a challenge with a sci-fi twist and a shiver down their spine. Prepare for paranoia!
