Instructions
Welcome, brave explorers to Trapdoor! In this game you must try to find the safe route through a dark, dangerous Castle... You will need to use your memory, careful planning, teamwork and Special Items to find the only safe route, avoiding the hidden Traps, and to escape.
How to Play Trapdoor!
Up to four players (or teams) take it in turn to explore the castle by choosing one of the squares in the bottom row and click it to flip it over; this is called the ‘Exploring’ a square. If the square is Safe (has a green border), they can then choose another square, which must be adjacent to the exploring square; you cannot move diagonally.
The Explorer can keep flipping squares until they find a Trap square. When this happens, they must go back to the start; all of the explored squares are then flipped back over. It’s now the next Explorer’s turn!
Explorers get to take one of four Special Items with them, which they can use once in the game:
|
Lucky Charm – if you fall into a trap, go back to the last safe square and try again. |
|
Memory Potion – leave one explored square face up for the remainder of your turns. |
|
Crystal Ball – gain foresight at the start of the game by revealing a random safe square. |
|
Trusty Compass – used at the start of the game it will randomly reveal one hidden trap. |
Winning the Game
To win, the Explorers must make it to the other side of the Castle safely. Good luck!
