Escape: Roll & Write

About this board game

Escape: Roll & Write is a cooperative game for 2–4 players that plays in around 30 minutes. Together, your team must explore a collapsing temple, collect the required number of gems, reach the exit, and escape before the game ends.

Each player explores their own temple by entering chambers. As you do, you gain bonus actions and gems for the whole team, making every discovery useful to your shared goal. Cooperation and communication are essential, while the luck of the dice can shape your plans.

The temple’s special colored chambers create an especially demanding challenge. To unlock two gems at once, players must occupy both chambers of the same color during the same round. Coordinating these moves takes careful teamwork, but the reward can make a crucial difference as time runs out.

• Work together to collect the required number of gems.
• Explore chambers and gain team-wide bonus actions and gems.
• Coordinate matching colored chambers in the same round to unlock two gems.
• Reach the exit before the temple collapses.

Different difficulty levels and variants let you tailor Escape: Roll & Write to your group. Whether your team succeeds depends on shared decisions, clear communication, and a little luck when rolling the dice.

Released in 2021, Escape: Roll & Write offers a focused cooperative race against the game itself. Every round brings your group closer to the gem target—or closer to the temple’s collapse.
