Escape the Living Library 2024

You love reading books and enjoy spending time at your local library. But who would have guessed it could transform into a nightmare after midnight? As the darkest hours unfold, navigate the eerie halls of the haunted library, relying on your knowledge, dwindling stamina, and defense (thick books) to make it through the night!

Escape the Living Library is a game that only needs a sheet to print, and 7 dice to play. The player will go through 6 floors of the haunted library (featuring 6 sections: art, history, science, literature, fiction, and horror) and try to make it alive by escaping without running out of the vitals. Use a pair of dice for roll-and-place actions, 3 dice to track your Knowledge, Stamina, and Defense, and 1 die to represent yourself as you explore the library, dodging spooky surprises! The 7th die is for the re-roll mechanism.

It's a game where both strategy and luck are key, so choose your moves wisely. Otherwise, before you know it - you might end up as one of the library's ghosts!
