Launch of Download, Print & Play Doctor Who Experience
Escape Hunt has today announced their upcoming release of their newest Download, Print & Play Game Doctor Who:The Hollow Planet.
In this new play at home game, set before the events of Escape Hunt's latest escape room Doctor Who: A Dalek Awakens, friends of the Doctor will find themselves on planetoid TG-88.3Ω, otherwise known as The Hollow Planet. A rogue Dalek has taken over the crumbling mining facility, and players must help the Doctor to regain control before it's too late.
This is a 1 hour experience suitable for 2 to 6 players aged 8+. The game can be played via video chat by friends, family members or colleagues. Downloads cost £14.99 per game.
Commenting on the release, Richard Harpham CEO of Escape Hunt said "We are delighted to announce the release of Doctor Who: The Hollow Planet which brings together our recent success in offering downloadable play-games with our exciting partnership with BBC Studios and adds to our growing catalogue of experiences that can be enjoyed outside our physical rooms."
