The Popular YouTube Series ESCAPE THE NIGHT is Raising Funds for a Board Game
Joey Graceffa is a YouTube star most famous for his show Escape the Night. Now, he’s teamed up with Studio71 Games to turn the show into a board game. The game has hints of popular titles like Betrayal at House on the Hill and Mansions of Madness, but plenty of things to set it apart. The characters are invited to a house that “only exists in 1920.” Once there, they must find artifacts and defeat a great evil. The trick is that characters will die off in Death Challenges as time goes on.
Assemble your friends and travel back in time to play a thrilling adventure that is set within an evil house, where you confront and battle the wicked that lies within. Players will explore the house, room by room, locating the Society Against Evil’s markers, fighting formidable monsters, and deciphering clues in order to collect precious relics. Once all markers are cleared, players may claim the artifact. But watch out, as a mysterious man looms the halls trying to stop you from advancing. While sometimes working together, players will also vote at the end of each turn for two players to battle one another in a daunting death challenge. In the final round, an hourglass will be set for the remaining players to take action as fast as they can in order to collect all the remaining artifacts. As time rushes through the hourglass, do you have what it takes to defeat the evil and Escape the Night?
This looks like an interesting game. Escape the Night Board Game is currently raising funds on Kickstarter and met its initial goals in under 3 hours. In addition, you can watch the entire series of Escape the Night on YouTube for free.
