Escape The Night: The Board Game is a board game released in 2020 for 1–11 players and 90–120 minutes per game. It was designed by Joey Graceffa and its main mechanics are Take That, Player Elimination, and Dice Rolling.
Based on the first season of the hit reality competition of the same name, this competitive/cooperative roll-and-move voting game for 1-11 players features 10 characters invited by "The Savant," a prominent socialite, to attend a dinner party on his behalf in celebration of his inheritance of a mysterious house trapped in the year 1920. Upon arrival, however, they quickly discover that an evil entity has possessed the house and trapped them inside. To escape, they must find 9 cursed artifacts needed for a ritual to banish the entity. But it won’t be easy—the house's evil forces have perplexing puzzles and vicious monsters guarding the artifacts. Worse yet, they must complete the ritual before sunrise, as every hour, the entity demands they vote for two of their own to compete in a deadly challenge, with only one survivor. Additionally, the entity has sent a masked servant to retrieve the artifacts first on its behalf. Will the 11 trapped guests perish one by one, or will they complete the ritual and escape the night before sunrise? —description from the publisher
