ESCAPE CRITTERS LAUNCHING SOON!

Escape Critters is an adorably cutthroat real-time speed card game based on the mechanics of Escape Master with an entirely new scoring system and fresh thematic artwork. Escape Critters is for 2 to 6 players where everyone plays at once, racing to build Sanctuaries and get critters to safety before the Poacher’s traps snap shut. It sets up in under 2 minutes, teaches in 5, and stays spicy thanks to clever catch-up Critter Powers that turn “I’m losing” into “watch this.”

REAL-TIME CHAOS WITH NO TURN WAITING

Call “SCRAM” and the table instantly turns into a high-speed critter rescue operation. No turns. No downtime. Just quick hands and sharp eyes.

Catch-Up Mechanic Keeps Every Round Spicy

Critter Power Cards

Escape Critters is built for comebacks. If you get trapped, you don’t just “try again.” You draw Traps and pick up Critter Powers for the next round, turning last place into a very real threat.

Escape Critters Instructions

Two Modes In One Game

Two tiers of gameplay, simple family mode and advanced strategic mode, allow younger players and seasoned enthusiasts to enjoy the same game without compromising fun or challenge.

Linen Cards For Easy Shuffling And Dealing

Escape Critters features nature-meets-fantasy art printed on premium linen-finish cards, all tucked into a refined compact box that travels easily and cleans up fast.

Play Critter Cards in ASCENDING and DESCENDING order on Sanctuaries.

If you successfully play every card in your hand, call "ESCAPE!"

Players who ESCAPE faster get more Critter Points. Players who fail to ESCAPE get a penalty but also unleash a Critter Power in the next round.

​​​​​​After eight rounds of wild, real‑time mayhem, one hero emerges—the player who rescues the most critters. Want backup? Team mode lets you join forces, share the chaos, and claim the crown together.
