You bring the Hero.

The room becomes the quest.

Combine your Hero’s Skills with the surroundings to find a way through the challenge.

Each round gives Heroes time to make choices, move and use their abilities as threats respond. Physical targets and draws from the Defense Bag help resolve attacks and defense. The Guide keeps play moving and explains what happens next.

What the Guide does

The Guide turns the room into a living quest.

The Guide is a facilitator and narrator, not another Hero. Clear decisions and safe pacing matter more than theatrical performance.
