What is Area 636?
A tactical infiltration game for 2–4 players — with a gripping solo mode.
Area 636 is a high-stakes strategy game where international agents compete to breach the world's most secretive military base. Each player is on their own — racing to extract the powerful and mysterious A.E.G.I.S. technology before their rivals. But stealth alone won't be enough. You'll need to outmaneuver deadly defenses, bluff or battle opponents, and make split-second decisions that change everything.
Whether you play competitively or in solo mode, every game tells a new story of betrayal, tension, and survival inside the labyrinth of Area 636.
What Awaits You in Area 636?
Uncharted Routes
Tiles flip as you move through the facility. Every step could lead to danger or reveal a new opportunity.
Unique Agents
Each agent comes with a personal ability that charges over time and changes the flow of the game.
Rising Tension
The alert level climbs with every misstep. One wrong move can bring the mission to an end.
Restless Base Defenders
Security forces, hidden traps, and patrols stand in your way. The facility is always ready to strike back.
Stay prepared! The defenders of the Base won`t let you collect the knowledge of A.E.G.I.S. so easy. General Adams and his crew are on their guard.
Be the first to experience all of these сhallenges firsthand!

An information broker with sharp instincts. He does not want control of A.E.G.I.S. He wants to sell it to the highest bidder.
