Educational question and answer escape game having an antagonist element

An educational question and answer escape game comprising;

• a game board having a playing surface with a plurality of interconnected path segments defining a game path having a first end and a second end, a plurality of said path segments having a center section and a ledge;
• a start space at said first end of said game path and an end space at said second end of said game path;
• one or more location indicia on one or more of said path segments;
• one or more player tokens;
• an antagonist element;
• one or more chance mechanisms at least one of said one or more chance mechanisms having indicia thereon corresponding to one or more of said path segments to direct said antangonist element;
• one or more sets of questions, each of said one or more sets of questions comprising one or more categories of questions;
• an antagonist start space on said game path;
• and
• one or more card spaces on said game board, each of said card spaces having one or more sets of cards comprising a plurality of question cards, each of said question cards having one of said sets of questions thereon,

A method of playing an educational question and answer escape game for one or more players, said method comprising the steps of:

• a. providing a game path having a start space at a first end, an end space at a second end and a plurality of interconnected path segments disposed therebetween, a plurality of said path segments having a center section and a ledge;
• b. assigning each of said one or more players a token and placing each of said tokens at said start space;
• c. placing an antagonist element at an antagonist start space at said second end of said game path;
• d. operating a first chance mechanism to identify a first selected path segment for said antagonist element;
• e. moving said antagonist element to said selected path segment identified said first chance mechanism;
• f. operating a second chance mechanism by a first player assigned a first token to identify a second selected path segment for said first token;
• g. moving said first token to said center section of said second selected path segment identified by said second chance mechanism;
• h. choosing a question card from a plurality of said question cards in one or more sets of cards or operating a third chance mechanism to identify a token position for said first token, each of said question cards having a question thereon;
• i. moving said first token to said ledge for a correct answer to said question on said question card, or as directed by said third chance mechanism, or leaving said first token at said center section for an incorrect answer to said question or as directed by said third chance mechanism.
• j. repeating steps d and e to move said antagonist element;
• and
• k. moving any of said tokens at said center section of any path segment landed on or passed by said antagonist element during step j to said start position while allowing any of said tokens at said ledge of any path segment to remain in place.
