About this game

Escape Room in a Box: The Werewolf Experiment brings a real escape room home, no venue booking required. A mad scientist is plotting to turn you and your friends into werewolves, and you've got one hour, nineteen puzzles and three stubborn locks standing between you and the antidote. Puzzles run in parallel, so nobody sits around waiting their turn, everyone's elbow-deep in something the whole time. The box resets after playing, so you can lend it to another group or run it again later. All the tension of an escape room, none of the drive there.
