Seefahrt ins Ungewisse ("Sailing into the Uncertain") is an escape game full of riddles and puzzles that consists only of cards. After their first night aboard the historic sailing ship Enigma, the players discover: all the doors are locked with cryptic riddles. And the crew has disappeared without a trace. Working together as a team, they must decipher the clues to open all the locks on board. This is the only way they can free themselves. How to play: Together as a group, the players must first find out which crew member lives in which cabin. Then they have to solve the corresponding riddle for each cabin. In this way, they gradually find the clues to what has happened on board. Can the players solve the mystery of where the crew disappeared to? Different puzzles are waiting to be solved by the team in order to decipher the codes. The players can check whether they are right with a hidden solution on the back of the cards, which only becomes visible when the cards are placed next to each other. By the way: The game material remains intact and can therefore be used again and again.
