About the game

What you do in a play session

Imagine this: the Kingdom of Nhekos has been completely devastated. The Dark Wizard and the Black Knight, terrible villains and mortal enemies of Sir Holland, decided to wreak havoc and captured everyone. Now, the entire population is locked away in a gloomy and threatening tower, but some brave heroes aren't taking this lying down. A group of courageous fugitives found a breach in the dungeon and decided that the only way out is up. Yes, they are going to climb the tower to win their freedom!

In Sir Holland: Escape the Tower, you and your friends take on the roles of these escapees. The goal is simple: reach the top as quickly as possible. But don't think it'll be a walk in the park. The path is riddled with traps and, even worse, the villains are watching every single move you make. The charm (or the tragedy) of the game lies in the planning. Since actions are queued, you might plan a perfect move and suddenly find yourself accidentally putting your teammate in danger.

It's the kind of game where tension builds every turn as you try to predict where opponents will be while avoiding the guards. With light rules and fast-paced matches, the focus is on direct interaction and those laughs (or friendly arguments) that arise when a perfect plan goes horribly wrong. If you enjoy racing games with a hint of mischief and a fantasy medieval theme, this climbing challenge is the right choice. Get your reflexes and strategy ready, because the climb is steep and the villains aren't playing around. Who will be the first to escape the tower and restore the honor of Nhekos?
