At the end of each turn, first character becomes the last one, and is turn marker is moved to the right of the previous last character on the countdown board. The M.A.C. cards (MOVE ALONE COMPLEX) generate immediate events that affect the complex or the characters and make the game much more difficult (but might provide assistance). exception: the Central room CANNOT be moved and always stays at the Complex’s center. Therefore, it is IMPOSSIBLE to use the Control action to move a central line (containing the Central Room).

Rounds continue with four more Letters Games followed by another Numbers Game then three more Letters Games followed by a third Numbers Game. NOTE: You are unable to put down a reminder token during the first look pre-programming action when the game starts. Move a character standing in the same room as you to an adjacent room. Your character stays put and the pushed character immediately applies the effects of the room in which they land. If the room was still hidden it’s revealed. Characters can't use Push inside the Central Room. Both sets of Number Cards must be reshuffled and reset before each new Numbers Game. ROUND 15 - THE COUNTDOWN CONUNDRUM

In SUSPICION mode, there are 10 turns for 4-6 characters, 9 turns for 7 characters and 8 for 8 characters. When playing with a single guard, a character must reveal their identity whenever all the others characters have reached Room 25 (even if that character is a prisoner).

Each player has thirty seconds to try and reach the target number using any or all of the six numbers just once by means of any combination of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Each character has 4 base actions (Look, Move, Push and Control) plus a Special Talent (if enabled).The player to the left of the youngest player now chooses their set of letters for the second letters game with the player to their left placing the letters on the board. Lay the board out on the table. Each player is given a sheet from the pad and gets hold of a pen or pencil. The letter cards are separated into two individual piles, vowels and consonants. Each pile is shuffled thoroughly and placed by the side of the board. Players might find it helpful to use a piece of blank paper to assist them. START OF PLAY: Each player has a Reminder Token they can use at any time during their turn, in addition to their actions. They can place the token on any room still hidden anywhere on the board as a reminder. The token is recovered only when the room it’s placed on is revealed. Once recovered, the player can use it again. Choose and observe secretly a room adjacent to your character. Once you have looked at it, replace it face down. You are allowed to give indications about the room’s danger level (the color of the room) but you CANNOT tell the other players the name of the room. NOTE: Adrenaline actions are not within the same turn. The turn ends and then the adrenaline actions are resolved.

After the thirty seconds is up all players compare words. The player with the longest word wins the number of points equal to the number of letters in their word. In Suspicion Mode, the prisoners can escape even if 1 or 2 guards remain within the ROOM 25. Also, if only one prisoner has been killed or didn’t reach Room 25 in time, the others can still escape but ONLY during the LAST TURN of the countdown.In COOPERATION mode, there are 8 turns for 4 characters, 7 turns for 5 characters and 6 for 6 characters. This special ability is represented by a special token for each character, which is added to their four basic actions (Look, Move, Push, and Control). During their programming phase, players now select two tokens from five available. It's always an excellent service with brilliant products at a very competitive price - will use again! Move the line that includes your character’s room one rank in the direction you choose (vertically or horizontally). All the rooms slide one rank in the same direction, all the characters stay on the rooms they’re standing on and slide with them. The room at the end of the line exits the Complex and is replaced at the other end of the line. Afterwards, a Control token is placed next to the line you just moved with the arrow pointing in the direction of the movement. Move your character to an adjacent room. If the room is still hidden, it is revealed when you reach it. The room will stay revealed for the rest of the game. A room effect applies every time a character enters it.
