80 Escape: Area-53
Experience the feel of late-1980s graphic adventures with a tabletop escape game played through cards. Read the Adventure Journal, examine Scenario Cards, draw and use Action Cards, and search texts, illustrations, and puzzles for hidden numbers and codes that advance the story. Play solo or cooperatively against a timer as the group enters Area 53, uncovers its secrets, and tries to escape while avoiding penalties. The puzzles use a bizarre, ironic style, with clues hidden in unusual details and partially concealed information.
