Nowhere to Go is a board game released in 2012 for 2 players, 10 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Hank Atkins.
Two-player strategy game with a spy theme on a unique hexagonal game board with spaces inter-connected by bridges. Each player places his or her spy piece on a starting space and players take turns placing blockers and moving their pieces across any bridges that are not blocked. The first player to trap the other spy with blockers wins.

Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Nowhere to Go is 10 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Nowhere to Go for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
