Escape the Boardgame

Made by Julie Bjørnskov

From the creators of the award-winning Escape the Arcade comes a new nostalgic adventure!

Nominated for Best Puzzle Game and Winner of Best Launch Experience in PDCA

This time, the journey takes you into the world of old-school board games, where nothing is as it seems.

Escape the Boardgame is a playful and mind-bending mix of escape room puzzles and visual storytelling, packed with mysteries and humor.

The Story

Sarah and Alex meet for their first friend-date at a quirky board game café, with the mysterious host, Eleanor. In the middle of their game of chess, lightning strikes, lights are out, and in the candle light, they are shrunk to chess-piece size!

Now, they must navigate through a long series of classic board game-themed puzzles to escape the café and return to their normal size.
