Room 25 Full Edition Survival Game

Players become participants in the reality show "Room 25". They are transferred to a prison complex consisting of 25 rooms. The rooms are equipped with all kinds of traps, including deadly ones. Only one room contains an exit. Participants must find it.

Before the start of the game, players receive tablets and character chips, tokens of basic actions and adrenaline. The rooms are laid out face-to-face according to a special scheme of a 5 by 5 square. Character chips are placed in the central room.

Game flow

The number of rounds depends on the game mode and the number of participants. The game lasts from 6 to 10 rounds. Each round consists of three phases:

1. Planning

All players choose 2 action tokens each and place them face down on special places on the tablets. You can choose an adrenaline token - this is the third action.

2. Actions

In the order of the move, the participants play out the first planned actions first, and then the second. After that, the selected adrenaline tokens are played. The adrenaline token works as a wild card, allowing you to perform any basic action.

Basic actions:

• Look. The player takes the room tile adjacent to his character`s tile. He looks at her without showing anyone. Only the color of the room can be communicated to other players.
• Go. Move your character`s token to the next room. If the tile of the room is closed, it must be turned upside down. Then the room effect is applied.
• Push. Move another character`s token (which is in the same room as the player`s token) to the next room. If the tile of the room is closed, it must be turned upside down. Then the room effect is applied.
• Manage. Move the row or column with the room where the player`s character token is located - one cell in any direction. The pushed out room is placed at the beginning of the row.

3. Countdown

Players return used action tokens and transfer the first character token on the round counter.
