As the City adventurers are unable to actually visit escape rooms, I am going to add my reviews of Escape Games in a box that can be played at home.<\/p>\n

Deckscape \u2013 The Curse of the Sphinx<\/h2>\n

While isolated at home in London, we took a “trip” to Egypt to solve “The Curse of the Sphinx”. This is the sixth title in the series of escape-room-in-a-box games produced by Deckscape.<\/p>\n

The box contains a single deck of cards. There is no <\/span>rulebook and little game setup needed.<\/span> Just access to a pen and paper and a clock.\u00a0<\/span>All you have to do is turn over the first card and start reading.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The deck of cards explains what to do as you play. A<\/span>t specific points in your journey, you will be asked to <\/span>split the deck by colour. When you do this you’ll find you have\u00a0<\/span>multiple puzzles available simultaneously. At these points you have a choice on what to solve first. Using the cards in this way\u00a0<\/span>splits the action as if you are moving from one room, via a secret door\/passage, to another room.<\/span><\/p>\n

As you make your way through the pyramid, you are pursued by a Mummy.\u00a0If you get a puzzle answer wrong, the Mummy advances towards you. You are given extra puzzles to solve to evade the Mummy before you can continue the game.<\/p>\n

If you need a hint to solve a puzzle, there is a helpful hint card available.<\/p>\n

We have played Deckscape games before (<\/span>The Fate of London<\/a> and\u00a0Test\u00a0Time\u00a0<\/a>) and like the fact that the game material is not destroyed during play.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Made for 1 to 6 players, the game is advertised as taking around an hour to play. With two of us, it took just over 1.5 hours.<\/p>\n
