Out of the labyrinth. Fast!

The adventurous world of Karak has, over the years, captured the hearts of thousands of families and younger players, becoming a true phenomenon among family board games. Journeys into underground tunnels filled with monsters, treasures, and mysterious corridors have become, for many, their first gateway into the world of board gaming. The labyrinth beneath Karak Castle is something many players now know almost by heart. But this time, the situation changes dramatically.

  • Games & Puzzles

The ground trembles, ancient walls crack, and the entire underground begins to collapse dangerously. If you don’t want to be buried deep beneath the castle alongside ancient creatures, you’ll have to act fast—grab what you can and find your way out before the corridors turn into impassable rubble.
The new title, Karak: Labyrinth, brings a thrilling adventure designed by Czech author Petr Vojtěch. A maze full of obstacles, challenges, and treasures awaits. Only the fastest players will find their way out before the entire labyrinth collapses.

Twisting corridors of Karak

In front of you lies a map, a marker, and puzzle tiles. Karak: Labyrinth is a fast-paced write game where each player gradually creates their own path through the maze. Every expedition begins with an objective card that defines your focus. Sometimes you’ll track down monsters, other times you’ll try to visit specific locations in the correct order. Each card changes how you plan your escape.


But the labyrinth gives you nothing for free. You can only move horizontally or vertically, walls are impassable, and once you leave a space, you cannot return. Sometimes it pays to choose a safer route; other times, it’s worth the risk to chase a treasure hidden deep within the maze. Every step matters—but hesitation is costly. As soon as the first player escapes, an hourglass is flipped, and the others have only a short time left to find their own way out.

Treasures, mini-games, and unexpected dangers

The labyrinth beneath Karak Castle hides more than just winding corridors. Gems glimmer in the darkness, rats scurry through the tunnels, and skeletons may emerge from the shadows. Without the right equipment, you won’t get far. Rats can be defeated with a sword, but you’ll need a bow to take on skeletons. These and other items can only be obtained by completing short mini-games.


Some spaces present clever puzzles that test your attention and logic. These challenges may slow you down, but they reward you with valuable equipment that will prove essential as you continue your journey.


Mini-games come in two difficulty levels, allowing you to tailor the experience to the age and skill level of your players. Younger players can start with simpler tasks to quickly grasp the mechanics and gain useful items, while more experienced players can take on more demanding puzzles that require deeper focus and strategic thinking. Thanks to this, everyone at the table can enjoy the adventure equally.

Can you escape in time?

With every line drawn and every mini-game solved, your map fills up, and your options begin to shrink. Even a seemingly perfect path can suddenly turn into a dead end. You must think ahead, track symbols on the map, and stay focused on your objectives.


Should you risk going for one more gem, or head straight for the exit? Every decision counts.


Can you keep a cool head in the chaos of collapsing corridors, find the right path, and escape before it’s too late?


A new adventure beneath Karak Castle begins now!
