Yes, in the “More Fun Stuff” section of this site, we provide you with a refill pack (“Basic Repack”) and instructions (“Host Repack”) under “I want to be Doc Gnaw!” These include replacements for elements that are used up during gameplay and instructions for reconstructing the box. It also includes a "game master script" for the host so that you take charge of certain elements as you lead another group of your friends through their adventure! However, this is primarily a one-time use game, just like brick and mortar Escape Rooms or a Murder Mystery Night Game so the refills are intended for new users and do not create a new game experience for those that have already played. As you'll see when you play, it isn't just about solving puzzles. The puzzles are part of a complicated web of clues and meta puzzles that lead you to your goal, so after the first play, you'll know too much! But that shouldn’t stop you from inviting a new group of test subjects, I mean, friends, to play the game!
This game is designed for players ages 13+.
Many of the puzzles are dependent on a knowledge of English both word meanings and spellings. We've had a few non-native speakers (who are fluent in English) play through just fine, but knowing English is pretty important. If you have one person who isn't fluent, it should still be fun as there are some puzzles that don't require any English. But, it'd be good if the rest of the players are fluent in English.
You will receive a beautifully designed, fascinating box. You will take off the lid and notice that there is a panel that you CANNOT LIFT until you start the game. Intrigued, you will invite your friends over for an ESCAPE ROOM IN A BOX PARTY. You can even make appetizers, drinks, and decorations from the Official Escape Room In A Box Party Planner. The day of your party will arrive, everyone will be excited and curious about what's to come. You will eat, drink, be merry and gather around a table to begin this once in a lifetime experience. You will lift the lid and...... We can't tell you any more without spoilers and we would never do that to you!
