About the game

What you do in a play session

Trapped: The Bank Job turns any room in your house into a high‑stakes escape room, perfect for fans of cooperative brain‑teasers and fast‑paced action. You and up to five accomplices become a notorious bank‑robbing crew, ready to crack the most secure vault in the country. While a sleeping‑gas keeps guards and staff unconscious, you have exactly sixty minutes to devise a plan, solve riddles, locate clues, and walk away with the loot before the gas wears off. The game blends deduction mechanics—where every clue matters—with real‑time pressure, forcing the group to talk, split tasks, and act in sync. The box contains everything needed: tokens, cards, rulebooks, hint sheets, and a timer to track the countdown. There are no turns; everyone plays simultaneously, creating moments of pure adrenaline and laughter when someone tries the wrong safe‑cracking tool. Set at a "Hard" difficulty, expect challenging puzzles that demand lateral thinking. It’s ideal for families, friends, or board‑game clubs looking to escape the traditional tabletop and experience an immersive getaway. If the mission fails, the only option is to abort and run, but the fun lies in trying to pull off the heist before the clock runs out. The game tests communication, quick thinking, and teamwork while delivering the cinematic feel of a heist film.
