About the game
Der rätselhafte Zauberwald ("The enigmatic enchanted forest") is an escape game full of riddles and puzzles that consists only of cards. The shortcut through the forest turns out to be a big mistake: the players suddenly find themselves in a magical clearing, surrounded by strange magical creatures. To get out again, they have to elicit coded clues from the forest residents. Will they find the exit in time? How to play: The players are trapped in the mysterious enchanted forest and have to find their way out as quickly as possible. To find their way out, they are dependent on the help of the forest inhabitants. These pose a riddle to the players each time before they reveal their knowledge. The players must first solve all 17 riddles of the forest inhabitants to then master the last big riddle: Where is the exit from the mysterious enchanted forest? By the way: The game material remains intact and can therefore be used again and again.
