MAY 8, 2023 - Star Trek fans can explore new worlds and battle unknown enemies with the Star Trek: Cryptic game, the latest puzzle-filled “escape room” adventure from Funko Games. 

This new board game is designed for ages 10 and up, and can be played solo or with friends.

Each game session lasts for 60-90 minutes, giving players ample time to complete their mission.

Using your PADD (Personal Access Display Device) as your guide, players must decipher subspace transmissions, discover alien civilizations, and prevent planetary disasters using logic, deduction, and creative thinking. Set during the era of the Star Trek: The Next Generation television series, the game includes over 70 pages of logbook content and 15 thrilling Star Trek-inspired challenges.

The Star Trek: Cryptic game offers players three unique missions with envelopes of components that contain clues, puzzles, and otherworldly encounters to resolve. The innovative new take on the escape room genre is designed to keep players engaged and entertained for hours.

As you climb the ranks of Starfleet, you'll be challenged to outwit foes, decipher complex puzzles, and boldly go where no one has gone before. The game designers promise a smart and suspenseful experience that is perfect for any Star Trek fan or puzzle enthusiast.

The game comes with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $34.99 and is scheduled to be released in mid-2023.
