Food 😋
You and your partner are lost in a frozen wasteland, desperately trying to escape. Although the game itself doesn’t involve any type of food/drink, why not play into the fun and make yourself a meal based off your surroundings?
Think “frozen” food, “polar” seltzers, or even “ice” cream….. get creative (and cool) with it!
Ambiance ✨
These best friends are equipped with nothing but parkas and a walkie-talkie. To get in the same mood with your best bud, grab some cozy blankets and get settled in for a puzzle-filled adventure!
If you want to feel like the real deal, get some actual walkie talkies and turn off your game chat. “How did we get ourselves into this?….. over”
Extras 🎉
If you enjoyed the escape-like puzzles and overall environment of this game, you should check out the Exit! Polar Station escape board game! It’s a co-op board game that puts you in the middle of a climate research mission at the North Pole. Suddenly, your colleagues disappear and you’re left locked in the lab. Can you escape before you freeze to death?

Challenges 👀
So you and your partner are pro-puzzlers? Your communication is on point? You could even master this with your eyes closed?
Well, we challenge you to work your way through the game with one added rule to your communication style. Rules can include:
— No saying the names of certain shapes like “plus, star, circle”
— Having to describe rooms/puzzles in an overly complicated way (Ex: tic-tac-toe is “if shapes were fighting and need to be in a specific formation”
— Pick a common word/phrase like “repeat that”. If one of you says the word/phrase, you both have to be silent for the next 30 secs.
— Come up with your own rule and let us know about it @WizardTurnip770
