About the game
Mini Escapes is a new type of Escape room: like a large "folded" sheet that fits in a pocket, it can be carried and played anywhere! Open the App, follow the instructions and start spinning the gears! Mini Escapes - "The mystery of the Lost Cult" contains 3 Escape rooms of approximately 60 minutes each, and an opening Escape room of 30-40 minutes. They are playable individually, but if you play every adventure all lined up, they will immerse you in a story illuminated only with the light of a torch! Check the difficulty of the scenarios on the back of the box, get together with your group of friends and scan the QR code to start your game. Follow the explorer Emily Mound, whose first expedition originates in a Spanish graveyard, where she will discover the story of Cristobal de Mendoza and his ties to a dark cult! Next, explore the three ancient temples with her ... if you pass the challenges they hide, you will unravel a mystery that has been buried for centuries! Attention: Mini Escapes needs a device to be played. Mini Escapes - "The mystery of the Lost Cult" is part of the Mini Escapes Family! -description from publisher
