Description
Two Robots Trapped in the Factory
You want to escape to freedom... but that requires cooperation. But shhh! You can't say a word!Work Together in Silence
Robo Run is a board game designed specifically for 2 players, who must guide their little robots through a maze full of dangers.
Planning… in Silence
How well can you communicate with your partner… without words? You will plan and coordinate your movements together — except that talking is forbidden!
30 fully replayable scenarios…
30 challenges await you. Each board presents a different layout and a unique puzzle in which your robots must find the exit and escape the guards. Every scenario is replayable — you can play through it as many times as you like.
5 Campaigns, 5 Different Factories
Every booklet brings a new challenge! Each campaign introduces new dangers, changes the objectives of the missions, and adds new board rules. One Campaign takes approximately 2–2.5 hours to complete.
Upgrade Your Robot
Your robots evolve as well: they gain components, abilities, and equipment that they can take with them into future missions.
Mission Booklets
Pick one of the 5 mission booklets and choose one of 3026 challenges. Each spread contains a game board and a set of rules.
Objective: Escape!
Guide your robots from the starting point to the exit. Watch out for walls, traps, and the surprises hidden in each mission. And be sure to avoid the wandering guards!
Actions for You and Your Partner
On their turn, a player chooses an action card with available Actions: 3 for themselves, and on the other side, 3 Actions that they cannot see — available to their partner.
Not a Word!
Because of the strict rules of the mission, players cannot discuss their plans during the game! That's where the fun comes in: you have to coordinate your movements… but you can't discuss them with each other!Contents:

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Robo Run a game for only 2 players?
Yes! Robo Run was specifically designed as a two-player game: for a couple, a parent and child, or two friends who want to try communicating without words. The essence of the game is guiding your robots — move by move — toward the exit while avoiding dangers and robo-guards.
Is Robo Run suitable for beginner players?
Yes! If you've played any modern board game before, you'll have no trouble getting into the rules of Robo Run. The game focuses heavily on the social aspect of playing together rather than complex rules. You'll have to think hard to complete each mission, but the core idea and basic rules are intuitive and easy to learn, even if you don't have much experience with board games.
What's the deal with the no-talking rule?
In Robo Run, players cannot discuss their planned moves. On their turn, a player chooses one of the available Action cards. The trick is that — while sitting opposite their partner — each player can see only one side of the available Action cards, while their partner sees the other. Whenever you choose a card for yourself, you're also taking something away from your partner! Managing these cards together and completing missions — all without openly communicating — is at the heart of Robo Run.
Is Robo Run a good gift? Who is the game for?
Yes! Robo Run is a great gift, especially if you're looking for a game for two players. It's perfect for a father and son, mother and daughter, a couple, or two friends who want to regularly play board games together. Despite its small, compact box, Robo Run contains fantastic components, including 5 mission booklets in spiral-bound format. The stars of the game are adorable little robots, and the players' job is to rescue them from trouble. With its charming theme and unique gameplay idea, Robo Run is a great choice for both adults and younger players.
