Created by Mark Swanson

Sneak through corridors, sidestep warders, and secure items to free yourself from a vile Victorian prison!

Latest Updates from Our Project:

The ESCAPE is complete...FLED shipments have gone out!
over 1 year ago – Wed, Dec 04, 2024 at 07:27:07 AM

Bon Voyage!

The ocean, ground and air shipments are underway... The game FLED, expansions and playmats are all heading to hubs in Australia (Aetherworks), Germany (Logistico), UK (Spiral Galaxy), China (VFI) and the United States (Allplay). Once they arrive, the hubs will promptly ship your order.

In the Meantime...

While you wait for your shipment, don't forget to check out FLED online!

Board Game Arena (BGA)
FLED multiplayer and (as of a few days ago) solo versions are available on BGA thanks to fellow backer and programmer extraordinaire, Philip Davis! This version wonderfully automates so many aspects of the game making it a breeze to play. Soon, it will be visible via a regular search, but for now, It’s officially in "Public Alpha,” which means all you have to do is join BGA to kick the tires.

Tabletopia
FLED multiplayer and solo versions are also available on Tabletopia! The 3D environment immerses you and fellow players into a real tabletop environment with some rather cheeky sound effects! Click here to Play as a Guest!

A Final Thank You!

I hope that FLED will unlock your imagination and help you escape any toil or drudgery that ensnares you. It has been my sincere pleasure creating this game and seeing it take flight thanks to early adopters like you. I am absolutely thrilled with how the game has turned out (I'm a harsh critic of myself, so this is saying something) and know that you will enjoy it more and more with repeated plays.  Thank you for support and for believing in me.

MPC Pics + 48-Hour Address Lockdown Warning!
over 1 year ago – Mon, Nov 04, 2024 at 10:23:13 AM

The Mass Production Copies (MPCs) Look Spectacular!

Folks, I received and proofed the MPCs from Panda Manufacturing the other day, and I was floored. They were FLAWLESS. Usually, I find one or two minor errors, but these games look absolutely perfect. This means, we move onto shipping, which will begin November 21st. Keep in mind, games will first go to the various hubs around the world (Europe, China, Australia and the United States) and then will be sent out regionally to backers. 

48-Hour Address Lockdown Warning!

Folks, this is your last chance to complete your order (survey), add (or change) your address and pay for shipping...if you have not done so. 

Thanks for your support and cooperation. : )
