About the game
An out-of-this-world mini escape room game! It’s not every day you find yourself trapped on a space station that’s hurtling towards an asteroid belt. And when the station is thrown off course, there’s no time for panicking! Your only shot at safety lies with a note written in a strange alphabet – it looks as if you’ll have to put your intergalactic thinking cap on! There are 12 different puzzles, from tricky picture puzzles to crazy mazes, and the solution for each one will translate a single letter of the note. Only once all 12 puzzles have been solved correctly and the note has been decoded, will you be able to make your escape from the space station! Testing a variety of key skills from logic to numbers, there's a puzzle for everyone! -description from publisher
