In the remote mountain village of Mordengraf, people are disappearing. Investigating reports of a 'creature' stalking the area, you venture into Castle Mordengraf, the Gothic castle overshadowing the village. Captured by an unseen force, you must escape the castle's dungeon or become the creature's latest victim. But you only have three hours before the creature resumes its hunt ... Curse of the Dark is a co-operative escape room game, where players must build out the floorplan of Castle Mordengraf, uncovering and exploring new rooms of the castle to advance the story. The game features puzzle books, map tiles and other interactive components and features. A smartphone or Internet-connected device is required for some of the puzzles. Curse of the Dark features a tiered hint system, to enable teams of all abilities to progress through the game and story. The game can optionally be completed solo. Curse of the Dark is designed as a one-time experience, as some of the puzzles require players to cut, fold and write on the components. However, Professor Puzzle do provide a printable pdf of the destructible components, in the Files section on BGG and on their website, to enable the game to be replayed. —description from the publisher
