The Speediest, Most Chaotic Critter Card Game

Real-Time Chaos With No Turn Waiting
Call “SCRAM” and the table instantly turns into a high-speed critter rescue operation. No turns. No downtime. Just quick hands and sharp eyes.
Catch-Up Mechanic Keeps Every Round Spicy
Escape Critters is built for comebacks. If you get trapped, you don’t just “try again.” You draw Traps and pick up Critter Powers for the next round, turning last place into a very real threat.
Two Modes In One Game
Two tiers of gameplay, simple family mode and advanced strategic mode, allow younger players and seasoned enthusiasts to enjoy the same game without compromising fun or challenge.
Linen Cards For Easy Shuffling And Dealing
Escape Critters features nature-meets-fantasy art printed on premium linen-finish cards, all tucked into a refined compact box that travels easily and cleans up fast.
Tote-ally Awesome Game Experience
The box may be cute, but don't be fooled. It contains the most cut‑throat critter card competition you'll ever find. What's better, you can carry the chaos in style. Our collectible 14 oz canvas tote bags featuring real game art aren't just side merch—they’re a core part of this campaign!
How To Play In 4 Easy Steps
- Call "SCRAM" to begin a round.
- Play Critter Cards in ASCENDING and DESCENDING order on Sanctuaries.
- If you successfully play every card in your hand, call "ESCAPE!"
- Players who ESCAPE faster get more Critter Points. Players who fail to ESCAPE get a penalty but also unleash a Critter Power in the next round.
After eight rounds of wild, real‑time mayhem, one hero emerges—the player who rescues the most critters. Want backup? Team mode lets you join forces, share the chaos, and claim the crown together.
See You In The Scramble!
