Who it's for

You want the escape-room feeling at home, with a small group that likes puzzling together, and you like a clock that adds pressure.

Not for you if…

You prefer relaxed, slow puzzling or have a very large group. Everyone leans on the same clues, and a few strong solvers can take over.

Vibe's take

Tense and chatty: everyone hunches over the same clues, shouts half-ideas, and flinches when the decoder beeps. The countdown makes even easy puzzles feel urgent.

About this game

Escape Room: The Game brings the escape-room evening to your living table. The box holds four separate 60-minute scenarios, each with three stages, and a centrepiece called the Chrono Decoder that counts down with ominous noises. You work with images, gears, words, keys, shapes, and maps, and when you think you have an answer, you slide four keys into the decoder. A wrong guess costs you a precious minute. If you are stuck, a hint card slid into the Hint Decoder gives you a nudge. The four rooms vary in difficulty, so groups of different experience levels can find a fit, and the electronic timer keeps everyone sweating.
