About this expansion

Escape the Dark Castle: Adventure Pack 1 – Cult of the Death Knight is an expansion for 1–4 players, with a play time of 45 minutes, released in 2017.

A new era has begun within the Dark Castle. The Death Knight has risen to prominence, and his dark cult brings fresh danger to prisoners seeking escape. Deadly curses now plague those who venture onward, adding new threats to your adventure.

This expansion introduces new rules and content designed to expand and deepen your journeys through the castle. Its central foe is Lord of Decay, the Death Knight himself, represented by a new boss card.

  • 3 new playable characters with custom dice: the mighty Mason, the cunning Hunter, and the wise Bishop.
  • 15 new chapter cards leading to new areas of the Dark Castle.
  • 3 new item cards introducing curses, terrible afflictions that can thwart progress.
  • 1 custom Cultist die—pray that you will not need to roll it.

Each new prisoner is a specialist in a particular area. The Mason’s might knows no bounds, the Hunter can be counted on for cunning, and the Bishop is well-known for wisdom.

With its new characters, chapters, boss, curses, and Cultist die, Cult of the Death Knight brings a darker chapter to Escape the Dark Castle. Prepare to face the Death Knight’s rising influence as you fight to escape.
