Who it's for

Families and groups who enjoy gleeful take-that gameplay wrapped in a spooky mansion mystery theme.

Not for you if…

Getting knocked out mid-game and watching others compete without you sounds frustrating rather than fun.

About this game

13 Dead End Drive traps you inside a sprawling, trap-riddled mansion where great aunt Ada's will is up for grabs and your fellow heirs are entirely expendable. You creep from room to room, springing chandeliers, trapdoors and collapsing floors onto rivals whenever the chance appears, all while dodging the same fate yourself. Getting eliminated does not mean you are out, since knocked-out players become the mansion's ghost, sneaking around to sabotage everyone still alive. It is gleeful, backstabbing mystery-house mayhem, the kind of family game that turns everyone a little wicked for forty-five minutes.
