Move the numbers of spaces rolled and don\u2019t have two people on the same spot is the same as other board games. A difference is that the team don\u2019t all follow the same route. There are clues\/puzzles to be solved in different areas of each room, so the tams must split up, just like in an escape room, to find the puzzles to solve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a team you must solve so many puzzles per room before moving on to to the next room. Play continues until you have solved the required number of clues and you have managed to get your team out to safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t worry about your ability to solve the clues. There are handy hints for each puzzle that can be purchased using the supplied coins.
