Deckscape: The Fate of London (2017) is the second title in a series of cooperative escape-room-style card games. A terrible threat hangs over London, and the Crown of England needs your help. Your mission is to find four devices hidden in secret locations and defuse them before midnight, and a single mistake can make things go south quickly. You solve puzzles, piece together the story and make clever use of the items on the cards to get out as fast as you can. One to six players, about an hour, in a compact box. Pair it with friends who like riddles and a clear ticking clock, and keep the pace brisk.

Who it's for

You want a compact escape-room experience that fits in a bag and works from solo to a full group.

Not for you if…

You want a game you can replay with the same puzzles. Once solved, the surprises are gone.

Vibe's take

Brisk and tense. You flip cards, trade theories and watch the clock, hoping one wrong answer does not wreck the plan.
