Description
Escape: The Curse of the Temple is a frantic, real-time cooperative game where players are adventurers trying to escape a collapsing temple. Players roll dice simultaneously, attempting to match symbols that allow them to move through the temple, discover new rooms by placing tiles, and ultimately find the exit before the temple collapses.
The game utilizes a built-in soundtrack that dictates the pace of the game. Periodically, the soundtrack triggers alarms, forcing players to rush back to the central chamber or risk losing dice. The tension builds as the game progresses, requiring players to communicate effectively and manage their dice rolls strategically to survive the curse of the temple.
