Big Potato Bucket of Doom: Escape Room Adult Party Game

Product Information

In fact, it’s probably incorrect to label them ‘questions’. A better word would be ‘scenarios’. These yellow cards outline a hazardous or, in some cases, downright deadly situation that you’ve literally been dealt. Falling out of a plane with no parachute, say. Getting trapped beneath the icy surface of a frozen lake. Having your mother access you internet search history.

After everyone has explained their escape plan, it's time to vote. Everyone votes for the person they think came up with the best escape plan. The player with the most votes wins the Doom Card. If it's a tie, the person who read the card has the final decision. Now it’s everyone's turn to craft the most ingenious. Dastardly or funny escape plan possible, using just one of the objects from the cards in your hand to help you. Armed with your arsenal of impractical objects, you must devise a cunning plan to escape the scenario at hand. Since the round ends with a vote for the most impressive getaway, you’ll need to get creative if you hope to come out on top.Imagine you're a little pig living in a house of straw and the big bad wolf is outside. How could you use a prehistoric mosquito trapped in amber or a load of kids ball-pit balls or a dirty skunk to escape.

Well, that is, of course, the game. You need to use the random selection of cards you have in your hand to devise a way out of your awful situation. The rules helpfully include three variants – you can use one card and redraw in the standard game, but more advanced players can use as many as they like in combination, whilst ‘pros’ can do the same but can only redraw when they’re entirely out of cards.She added: "With child suicide at its highest right now I certainly don’t think a game like this should be on the shelves. It’s absolutely disgusting how this has passed reading standards.” This means that it isn’t a game for everyone. The responses require lateral thinking making this veer towards being an actual game and whilst the answers are usually amusing, they’re rarely laugh-out-loud funny. Once each player has presented their equally-impressive escape to the group, everyone votes for their favourite. The player with the most votes takes the scenario card for that round. New object cards are distributed, a new situation is read out and the next round begins. The first player to successfully collected three scenario cards is the winner.
