Product Details
🐸 HOW TO PLAY
A journey into dreams. In Adrift, you take on the role of a dream interpreter, an explorer of the subconscious who must make sense of cryptic and fragmented messages. It's not a simple puzzle, but a story to be lived, made of symbols, poetry, and small secrets to be discovered.
Four spirits, four paths. The game is divided into four parts, each linked to a natural element: Sky, Earth, Water, and Forest. You can tackle them in any order you choose, choosing the path that most inspires you, as if you were composing your own personal dream.
Poetry, images, and objects. Each section contains three puzzles in sequence: a poem hiding clues between the verses, an illustrated poster full of details to decipher, and a physical object to assemble or manipulate to unlock the solution. Each element intertwines with the others, transforming the game board into a dreamlike laboratory.
Between logic and emotion. It's not enough to solve the puzzles: you also have to interpret. Adrift forces you to observe, connect, and intuit, as if you were reading someone else's dreams. Each answer is a small revelation that brings you a step closer to the heart of the mystery.
The final awakening. When you've completed all four paths, the sentences you found come together into a single vision. The puzzle is closed, but what remains is the experience: a poetic journey that blends puzzles, art, and storytelling in a dream you won't want to forget. 🌙

Adrift – A dreamlike journey through enigmas, spirits, and poetry
You wake up. You don't know where you are. Only fog, broken voices, and symbols impossible to interpret. But you know what? You've been called.
In Adrift , the boundaries between dream and reality blur. You're not just a player: you're an interpreter of the unconscious , a traveler between symbolic worlds who must read poetry, explore physical objects, and interpret illustrations to uncover hidden messages.
Every puzzle is a fragment of the subconscious , every word a key, every detail a portal to something you don't even know you're looking for.
There's no time. There's no right path. Just you, your intuitions... and a universe to decipher, piece by piece.

We played it… and it made us float in the subconscious 🐸
Adrift is not a classic board game.
It is an experience to be lived in silence, by candlelight, listening to the words whispered by the images .
We appreciated the variety of puzzles, all logical but never banal, and the elegance of the production.
If you love escape rooms but are looking for something more intimate, narrative and profound , Adrift will take you on a journey… without moving a step .
It's not a shelf game, it's a love letter to the dream .
