On a cold February morning, you find yourself trapped in the professor's manor, faced with the results of his experiments with time itself. Can you break the loop and escape?

The Groundhog Gambit, title #6 in the Holiday Hijinks line, is an 18-card escape room experience for 1 or more players, and takes two sessions of about 60 minutes to solve cooperatively.

When you have solved a puzzle, you will enter the answer into the companion web app (compatible with all smart phones and computers) and check whether you are correct. If you are, the app will tell you which card or cards to take next.

The app also contains a graduated hint system, so if you get stuck you can get just a small hint about the current puzzle to get moving again without giving too much away.

Puzzles may test your perception, wordplay, and lateral thinking. English language fluency is required.

Most groups take about an hour to solve the game. You can write on the cards to help solve puzzles, but this is not required and the game is otherwise non-destructible. So while you can’t play again yourself, you could give the used game to someone else to play.

    Adam ★★★★★

    The time-loop mechanic is clever without being confusing—each failed attempt actually taught me something new. Played it twice in one night with my group, and the puzzle solutions felt fair but challenging.

    Avery ★★★★★

    The professor’s manor setting really pulls you in, and the time-loop puzzles had my group arguing over turn order for an hour straight. Still laughing about how we nearly broke the loop on our first try, then completely botched it the second.

    Sofia ★★★★★

    The time loop mechanic is brilliantly woven into the gameplay, making every decision feel like it matters. I loved the immersive manor setting and the challenge of figuring out how to break the cycle.
