What's the minimum number of players?
The minimum number of players is 1. While it would be a challenge to do by oneself, it is entirely possible.
What's the maximum number of player?
The maximum number of players is 8.
What's the recommended number of players?
Based on the number of puzzles in the room and the general challenge, groups of 3-5 have the best ratio of number of puzzles to difficulty.
Groups of 2 can beat the game under time if they have good reading comprehension and communication. Groups of 6 or more regularly get out under time.
How is this game replayable?
Each time you play, you choose a new character! Each has their own puzzleline to explore.
It's also high-score based, where each time you play you will be trying to earn more coins than before!
Are there special game mechanics?
Each character has their own unique game mechanic which is only present when that character is chosen!
Additionally, players will be collecting coins and feeding them into the Toadiebank on the bar. Each coin is counted and adds to your score!
How do Classes works?
Each player will choose a class ahead of time or will be assigned one. Each class has a number of puzzles relevant only to them. Players may ask for help from others if necessary.
How many puzzles are there?
We have plans for over 50 puzzles. Already we are at 28 puzzles, the highest number in a single game we've ever made.
Should I choose a new class each time I play?
While you can certainly replay the same class multiple times and still find new puzzles along the way, we recommend choosing a new path and "multiclassing" into a new class each time. Previous knowledge gained can be used for future playthroughs!
