Secret Unknown Stuff: Escape from Dulce

About this board game

Secret Unknown Stuff: Escape from Dulce is a collaborative sci-fi adventure game for 1–5 players, with an approximately 240-minute play time. Released in 2018, it begins when the characters awaken after a Cryo-Pod malfunction in the bottom level of the Dulce Base.

Choose from 8 hilariously bizarre characters, then work together to blast through a base filled with human and non-human enemies. Your goal is to traverse all seven nefarious levels of Dulce and escape to freedom.

Progression combines combat, exploration, and escalating danger. Along the way, collect zany items, discover incredible weapons, and level up your characters while trying to prevent the alarm from reaching critical levels. If the alarm rises too far, the dreaded Man in Black is released.

• Collaborative play for 1–5 players
• Eight bizarre characters to choose from
• Seven levels of the Dulce Base to overcome
• Weapons, items, character advancement, traps, puzzles, and enemies
• Story-driven Encounter Cards that support replayability and role-play

Every time the players enter a new room, they draw an Encounter Card. Its story portion describes the room and what happens there, while its business portion determines the traps, puzzles, and enemies the players must face. This structure helps create a lived-in world while making each adventure unfold differently.

Strange possibilities await in Dulce. You might play as Snippy Von Bell, a two-headed mutant cow with machine guns on its back, meet a helpful sasquatch, or decide whether to release an Atlantean fishman from an aquarium cell. Tentacle monsters, robot ninjas, lizard man chess, and a mini black hole are among the challenges in Secret Unknown Stuff: Escape from Dulce.
