Escape: The Curse of the Temple – Queenie 1: The Pit

About this expansion

Escape: The Curse of the Temple – Queenie 1: The Pit is a promotional expansion for 2–5 players, with a play time of 10 minutes. First given to Kickstarter backers and later distributed through other venues, this set adds a new potential room and extra curse tiles to Escape.

In The Pit, a player can activate two gems, but there is a dangerous condition: doing so requires rolling five curses. With all five dice locked, the player will definitely need assistance from another player to get back out of the pit.

The promo also introduces two new curse tiles. These tiles add variety to the curses that may arise when playing with curse tiles, creating additional effects to consider during the game.

• Lost Treasure: Lose a treasure, if you are playing with treasures. If you do not have a treasure, this curse has no effect.
• Really Cursed: Whenever you get cursed, draw two curses for the remainder of the game.

The Pit combines a challenging new room with curses that can affect treasures and future curse draws. Its locked-dice requirement makes cooperation essential when a player attempts to leave the pit.

As a promotional set, Escape: The Curse of the Temple – Queenie 1: The Pit offers a compact way to add new possibilities and more varied curse effects to Escape. The result is an optional addition centered on risk, locked dice, and help from other players.
