Overview
What ABG knows about this game
You open your eyes and find yourself in a cold, padded cell. Unfortunately, this is not a dream: your own brother committed you to this hellhole of a psychiatric hospital. The betrayal stings, but there is no time for a breakdown. You need to get out, and you must do it fast. The plan seems simple enough: retrieve your personal file, find a place to hide before the night guard makes his rounds, and then find a way out. Escaping the asylum in time, however, won’t be easy... Escape from the Asylum is a thrilling escape room experience in the form of a co-operative board game. The game is divided into two parts, and each part is a collection of five stories. In each story, you assume a role of a character trying to escape the North Oaks asylum. To accomplish that, you will have to solve puzzles and make life-changing decisions. Reveal more and more of the backstory and watch the stories intertwine as you play. —description from the publisher
