15 Minutes to Self-Destruct is a cooperative game about escaping a spaceship that is about to explode. The ship's AI has gone rogue, set off the self-destruct sequence, and is still working against the players as they try to get out.

How it plays

To escape, the team must turn on 13 switches around the ship to activate the escape pod. Doors block the routes between the switches, so they have to be unlocked first.

On your turn, choose one: roll the dice to unlock doors on your half of the ship, or move your astronaut through doors that are already unlocked. Your goal is to reach the switches and turn them on. If you roll a dice combination you can't use, you draw a card that may lock doors that were unlocked or deactivate switches that were turned on.

Winning

The team wins when every switch has been turned on and all astronauts have reached the escape pod in the center of the board before time runs out.

Timer app

The game is played with a free timer app on a smartphone. The timer also plays atmospheric sounds that add to the urgency.
