Rituals 2024

Mario Party meets The Cabin in the Woods in Rituals, a cooperative multiversal horror game from Iconiq Studios.

You and your friends take on the roles of strangers who have become trapped by a malevolent force. You must work together to complete rituals, battle monsters, and escape before it’s too late!

Start by customising your board, combining pieces to not only shape the layout of the map but also influence the story of your game.

On each turn, players must navigate the 2D board to uncover keys, unlock doors, and solve puzzling rituals. Once every player has taken their turn, draw summon cards that contain statements such as 'IN A ROOM WITH A RED DOOR'. Add a token to the active monster card for each player who meets the condition, and when it reaches a critical point, it's time to do battle! Each monster encounter is a quick and exciting mini-game. Test your skills with dice, coins, cards, timers, and more. Can you name 7 things that scare people? Balance 4 dice in a pillar on your hand? Close your eyes and stop the timer before it runs out? Every encounter guarantees laughter as your group tackles an array of fun and diverse challenges.

Once all rituals on the board are deciphered, it's time to make your escape! Some of you will make it out alive, others may not be so lucky. Regardless of the outcome, you'll all have a story to share.
