The Jailbreak is a cooperative deduction game where your perspective and clever communication will be needed to carry out your escape.

Work together with your teammates over 44 challenges broken up across 11 pivotal days of your jailbreak. Each day gets more challenging as you take on more risks in planning and executing your escape.

During the game, each player holds a hand of double-sided tools and each tool has a non-overlapping front/back pairing. Your perspective at the table may help you give clever clues to your teammates to help them, with some deduction, play their tools to the right spot and complete the challenge.

Be careful - if you get it wrong you risk being caught by the guards.
