Deckscape

Escape Room using cards only

In Live Escape room games, participants are “locked” into a room and must master tasks and solve puzzles to “escape”. The necessary information can be found in various guises within the room and from solved puzzles or tasks.

Deckscape - available in several variants - is a version of this Escape Room principle; players only use a stack of card to achieve “escaping” and cooperate to solve the puzzles - all win or lose together. All you need is pen and paper, all other information can be found on the cards, the sequence of those cards can never be changed. The cards show either puzzles or items - puzzles show an an image and a question that must be answered. Items are needed to solve puzzles, they remain on the table. If a puzzle question was answered incorrectly, you mark the scoring card with an X, but proceed to next card, as you do in case of a correct answer.

If you try to solve a puzzle without having one of the necessary items on the table, you must put two X on the card. After the last card in the deck you determine your playing time and add five minutes for each X on the card; any time under 60 minutes is excellent, all up to 90 minutes is acceptable and if it took you 90 to 120 minutes, the mission was not really successful.

In Das Schicksal von London, England needs assistance, four contraptions must be defused before midnight!

In Raub in Venedig, you need to break into the oldest Casino in the world in Venice and steal the 1-Billion-Euro-Poker-Chip!

Puzzle fun at its best, brain training, either for one player alone or cooperatively for several players, and always excellent, challenging entertainment.
