What Next is a ‘Pick-Your-Path’ cooperative action-adventure game where you never know what’s waiting around the corner. Working together with your teammates, your goal is to navigate your way through the adventure, conquer any obstacles you encounter and make it to the end in one piece.
However, this game isn’t just about picking the right path. Hiding inside each adventure are over 60 dexterity different challenges, designed to disrupt your progress and make everything a little more… perilous. To complete your adventure and win the game, you’ll need to master every mini-game you come across. Think you’ve got the skills to survive?
Before you start, you must pick one of the 3 adventures: “Drums of Koala Cave” (easy), “The SkyScraper Caper” (pretty tricky)or “Blinky’s Great Escape” (pros only). Inside of each adventure, there are location cards, event cards and item cards. To start the game pick up one location card and read it out to the rest of the players. These cards will guide you through your adventure. Next, everyone has to vote to decide which direction to go in.
Every time you take a location card you must rotate the time dial one space clockwise. If at any point you find the event icon on one of the location cards, this means it is time for the event cards. The event cards feature physical challenges, such as shape build, puck push, item search and 60 unique mini-games.
If the peril icon appears, you must add one piece to your tower of peril. Be careful, it’s not as simple as it sounds - if your tower falls then it’s game over and you’ll have to start again! Try to finish the adventure without knocking your tower of peril.
