Escape the Dark Castle Description

Track your prisoners’ stats in style with the Escape the Dark Castle companion app, featuring atmospheric sound and animation that blend with and enhance the tabletop experience.



Sitting alongside your character card, the companion app offers the following features:

• Track your Prisoner HP
Brutal heavyweight shackles represent your prisoners current HP. Press and drag to see the chain-links glow and rattle as you adjust your HP, while a tension building heartbeat increases in speed as you draw closer to death!

• Record your Plague Level
The Plague menu allows you to keep track of your plague level using tally marks as directed by the game rules. When you pass a Plague Threshold an animation is triggered - automatically adjusting your HP on the shackles.

• Manage Companions
When Companions enter the game, select them via the Companions drop-down menu, where you can adjust their HP and trigger their special abilities to mirror their in-game actions.

• Access Digital Rules and FAQ
Via the Settings menu you can access browser-based searchable digital rules and FAQ to help you get quick clarifications during play without hunting through the physical rule book.

• Connected Soundtrack
The settings menu also has links to the atmospheric ETDC soundtrack on Spotify, Apple Music, and Bandcamp – meaning you can easily play it in the background, combining with the SFX from this app for full immersion into your dark adventure.

• Solo or Local Multiplayer
You can play a 2-prisoner solo game on one smartphone, or Host a game which up to three other players can Join using their own devices. During hosted games, all player’s prisoner names and HP levels are displayed in real time on each device, and you will phase in and out of game states together as a group for maximum atmospheric connectivity.

• Pass the virtual ‘YOU’ token
Tap on the YOU icon and a list of your fellow prisoners will be displayed. Choose who to pass the token to and you’ll hear a heavy metallic sound on that players' device as the token lands with them!

• Free Integrated Death Book!
When your prisoner dies, enter the code of the card which finished you off and the app will display your doom – a contextual death scene to read aloud and bring full narrative closure to the story. The Death Book is normally sold separately for £9.99 but is included and integrated here for free!

Comments about Escape the Dark Castle Android Version

Annoying each player needs to pay for it (so close to useless for different groups joining). Visually, looks nice, works well with theme. But without the expansions, it mostly just tracks health and 'You' (which we found a bit buggy). Music, unfortunately, isn't included, merely link to stream, accessible without app anyway (hard luck if you don't pay for one of them! Note: it's also on YT Music). Originally refunded, but noticed death book included, which is a big plus and makes it worth it.
Loved the app atmosphere, music link and overall design. The only show downside is that you can't track 3-4 players health & plague when playing in person, unless at least 2 of you have purchased the app. It's a lovely add-on to the game that might save you some space the death book, but after playing in-person multiple times, having only a 2 player limitation on the app kind of sucks. But other than that, lovely app with some amazing features.
The long awaited app is here! It's not too bad considering it's the initial release. For anyone who gets confused like I did, touch and hold your HP and then you can slide it up or down as needed. And you have to be the active character holding the "You" pass to give it to the other character. Otherwise, I'm so glad this finally hit Google Play. Way worth the 2 bucks. Note: This IS a companion app to the physical board game. Just to throw that out to anyone thinking this is the game.
