at DOXA Games!
Hurry! Fleeing Disciples is a fast-paced, faith-infused board game set in the early days of the church in the book of Acts. It brings the urgency of Gospel mission and persecution to life through dynamic movement, vivid imagery, and rich biblical themes.
WHY HURRY! FLEEING DISCIPLES?
The early church didn't play it safe — they carried the Gospel under threat of death. Hurry! Fleeing Disciples puts you in their sandals.
Every turn is filled with tension. The Roman Guard is relentless, and every decision matters: When do you press forward? When do you protect your disciples? When do you risk everything to reach safety?
This game doesn't romanticize persecution — it reveals the cost of following Christ. The mission was never safe, but it was always worth it. Your disciples don't flee to hide — they flee to continue the mission.
"When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next."
— Matthew 10:23
Hurry! Fleeing Disciples is a fast-paced, faith-infused board game set in the early days of the church in the book of Acts. It brings the urgency of Gospel mission and persecution to life through dynamic movement, vivid imagery, and rich biblical themes.
Players step into the role of Jesus' disciples, guiding their followers through Roman-occupied territory — dodging guards, making difficult decisions, and racing to reach hidden house churches where refuge and fellowship await. Along the way, they encounter moments of grace, risk, and perseverance that reflect the realities faced by the early believers.
This game is inspired by a powerful truth from Scripture. Jesus warned His disciples that following Him would come at a cost: "If the world hates you, know that it has hated Me before it hated you." — John 15:18. The world that rejected Him would reject them too. In the book of Acts, we see this reality unfold. After the stoning of Stephen, a great persecution arose against the church in Jerusalem, and believers were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria (Acts 8:1).
Yet what seemed like defeat became the very means of God's victory: "Those who had been scattered went about, proclaiming the good news of the word." — Acts 8:4. Persecution did not stop the Gospel — it spread it.
The disciples did not flee in fear alone, but with purpose. Wherever they went, they carried the message of Jesus into new cities, new regions, and new hearts. They risked everything because they knew the Gospel was worth more than their own safety.
Hurry! Fleeing Disciples places you in their sandals. The journey is urgent. The danger is real. But the mission is unstoppable. This game reminds us of a timeless truth: faithfulness often requires courage. Following Christ may come with sacrifice, but the reward — the spread of the Gospel, the growth of His church, and the hope of eternal life — is worth every cost.
"This game quickly became a favorite in our home. Hurry! Fleeing Disciples is full of tension and strategy. Our kids were on the edge of their seats trying to escape the Roman guard! But what stood out most was how it connected them to the reality of the early church. It sparked questions like,
“Did this really happen?” and “Why were Christians being persecuted?”
That led us to talk about the book of Acts and what it meant to follow Jesus in difficult times. It is a brilliant mix of fun and depth.
We’ve played it multiple times already, and it keeps getting better."
