About the game

What is Escape: Roll & Write?

Together as a team you must collect a certain number of gems, reach the exit and Escape, all before the temple collapses, and the game ends. Each player explores their temple by entering chambers and gaining bonus actions and gems for the whole team. The special colored chambers require players to work together. They must occupy both chambers of the same color, in the same round to unlock two gems at once. A daunting task but worth it! Players can select from different difficulty levels and variants to tailor the game to their group. Cooperation, communication, and a bit of luck rolling the dice is needed to gain the required number of gems and reach the exit before the time runs out.
