How long is the game?

  • It depends on your style – are you a competitive, beat the clock type? Or are you looking to streeeetch this activity to fill your stay-at-home time?
  • The game has 5 missions and 2 team challenges, and can be paused at any point to meet your group’s needs.
  • Two hours is an average play time, but it really depends on the participants!

What ages? How hard is the game?

  • It’s great for adults of all ages.
  • Generally, younglings over 12 years old will enjoy the puzzles the most, and adult help will make the experience more exciting for the younger kids.
  • The game is meant to be enjoyed – not break your brain. It includes a detailed cheat sheet at the end that walks you through the puzzle answers.

How many teams? Do we have to play in person?

  • The game is written with four characters, which can be divided up and played by any number of players – simply print more copies.
  • The game can be played remotely!  Have everyone print out a copy and work through the puzzles together.

Do I need to be a Star Wars trivia buff to play?

Nope!  This is a stand-alone space adventure.  Of course, the story does has plenty of clever references, but is filled with logic puzzles, fun challenges, and codes to break – not trivia.  This is a fan-created game with it’s own distinct set of characters and planets – we’re not affiliated with, authorized or endorsed by, or connected with Disney Enterprises, Inc.  Definitely feel free to dress up, put on your favorite music or movie to enliven your experience!
