The group of adventurers finds themselves trapped in a cursed temple! And we all know how the story ends if we don't escape in time... Together, they must activate the magic stones in the temple's various chambers to free it from its curse once and for all and escape before it completely collapses. And all this in less than 10 minutes!

Designed by Kristian Amundsen Østby (one of the authors of Revive) and illustrated by Oliver Schlemmer (Fresco, Kingdom Builder), Escape is a real-time cooperative game... where there are no turns or rounds! Up to 5 players, ages 8 and up, will roll dice and move through the temple in search of the exit and using magic stones.

Each of you will roll your 5 dice as many times as you can, as quickly as possible, without having to wait for the others. You only have 10 minutes to escape the temple before it collapses. Different combinations of dice results will allow you to enter the temple and discover new chambers as you search for the exit. Torches, keys, and adventurer symbols will allow you to move and unlock rooms, but black masks will block you. In some chambers, you will find magic stones. You will have to try to activate as many as possible with the help of your dice to lift the curse preventing you from leaving the temple. The sooner you find the exit and the more magic stones you activate, the easier your escape will be.

The game includes a soundtrack that, in addition to setting the mood for the adventure, also serves to mark the 10-minute time limit for the game. You must advance carefully, as twice during the game, a gong will sound, announcing a countdown. This will be the signal to return as quickly as possible to the entrance chamber, as only there will you be safe. If you fail to arrive before the countdown ends, you will lose one of your valuable dice.

There's strength in numbers, so you'll have to come together and help each other solve any problems that arise, as if only one person were trapped inside the temple, everyone would lose. To accommodate any gaming group, Escape allows you to adjust the difficulty level: before each game, you can add or remove magic stones from the ark to better suit your skill and experience.

This edition also includes two expansion modules that can be used separately or together. With the "Treasures" module, some rooms will contain chests with valuable items that players can use later, from keys that allow teleportation to first-aid kits that heal players, returning the dice with the black mask in play. Meanwhile, the "Curse" module adds tokens that will affect players when they enter certain rooms; curses will force players to perform certain actions, such as placing a hand on their head for the rest of the game or remaining silent.

Escape is an ideal game for fans of archaeology adventures, in the purest Indiana Jones style.
