About this board game

The Book of Rituals is a puzzle book for 1–4 players, offering approximately 540 minutes of play and 45 challenges in the universe of the Escape Tales series.

Players take on the role of discoverers of secret knowledge, investigating the secrets of elements and alchemical ingredients. Solving the puzzles gradually enables them to perform various magical rituals, with challenges ranging from less complex formulas to intricate, multi-stage riddles.

The book’s themes connect directly to the events of the Escape Tales series. Knowledge of those games is not required, but experienced players can enjoy references to its stories and meet important characters such as Samuel from The Awakening and heroes from Children of Wyrmwoods.

  • 45 varied tasks featuring different formulas and puzzle types
  • A non-linear structure that lets players explore tasks in a convenient order
  • A free application for checking answers and receiving hints
  • No punishment or judgment for using hints

The application works on mobile devices and computers without requiring installation. It is designed to support player satisfaction, offering help when a riddle becomes difficult rather than making players feel penalized.

Unlike a puzzle book that follows one fixed path, The Book of Rituals allows players to leave a challenging task, solve another, and return later with fresh ideas. Its flexible structure and creative use of the application create a mystery-solving experience that can still surprise players as they uncover its secrets.
