COOP - Passage of the Future - Dark Elements

Can someone help me with the logic of the Passage of the Future Encounter Card from Dark Elements , please. Thanks in advance!


The Overlord Effects on the Passage of the Future card states:

“ Each hero on the Passage of the Future tests knowledge. Each time a hero fails, resolve 1 Peril card. If more heroes pass than fail, reveal the top 3 Exploration cards from the Exploration deck, and place them back in order. Then, each hero who tested reveals 1 objective token ."


Questions:

1) Does a hero only take the knowledge test when the hero physically enters a space on the Passage of the Future tile (14B)?

2) Based on the above paragraph, it’s unclear what has to be true (and practical) in order for players to reveal objective tokens. Are any of the following correct?


CASE A

-Each hero on the Passage of Future tests knowledge

-If the hero fails their knowledge test, resolve 1 peril card

-If more heroes pass their knowledge tests than fail, the heroes reveal the top 3 exploration deck cards AND the heroes who tested their knowledge (regardless of success) reveal the objective tokens


CASE B


-Each hero on the Passage of Future tests knowledge


-If the hero fails their knowledge test, resolve 1 peril card

-If more heroes pass their knowledge tests than fail, the heroes reveal the top 3 exploration deck cards AND only the heroes who succeeded on their knowledge reveal the objective tokens


CASE C


-Each hero on the Passage of Future tests knowledge


-If the hero fails their knowledge test, resolve 1 peril card

-If more heroes pass their knowledge tests than fail, the heroes reveal the top 3 exploration deck cards

-Only the heroes who succeeded on their knowledge tests reveal the objective tokens



CASE D


-Each hero on the Passage of Future tests knowledge


-If the hero fails their knowledge test, resolve 1 peril card

-If more heroes pass their knowledge tests than fail, the heroes reveal the top 3 exploration deck cards

-The heroes who tested their knowledge (regardless of success) reveal the objective tokens



Also, will I get an official ruling on the above on this forum or do I have to email someone?


Thanks!

My interpretation is Case A: if more heroes pass than fail, you have a chance to get out :) BTW the knowledge test should be performed at end of each round until the exploration card is discarded

You test when ON the passage, not when entering a space on the passage- so any hero on that tile, even standing still, would test. I see the objective token sentence as separate from the passing statement (case d I think) but I have not played this room.

Quite honestly, I don't know how to answer this question.

This is how you get an official answer.

Remember Overlord effects only happen at the end of the Heroes turn, and before monsters activate.

Case A would be correct.
