Thames & Kosmos - EXIT: The Enchanted Forest - Level: 2/5 - Unique Escape Room Game - 1-4 Players - Puzzle Solving Strategy Board Games for Adults & Kids, Ages 10+ - 692875

My partner and I have ben playing the EXIT games for years.Such a good day in activity for those rainy days or when you want to do something a bit different.Can keep you hooked for multiple hours without getting bored. I'd say the difficulty level marked on the box is quite accurate to the gameplay experience.All in all amazing value for money, high quality game and hours of fun guaranteed!

We played as a family of four with our sons aged 8 and 12. If you read through the instructions carefully beforehand the game is easy to set up and is clearly explained. We've never done a real life escape room experience before and this is the first home escape room of this range we've tried. We darkened the room, lit candles and lava lamps and used the atmospheric soundtrack that comes with the free app for a more 'haunted experience'. The app also has a timer for the game and will 'score' your game at the end giving you a star rating based on the time spent and the number of help cards used. The game itself is not at all scary so fine for younger players, but the soundtrack can get a bit eerie for younger children. The game has around ten challenges and it took us 1hr 58m to complete. Some puzzles are more tricky than others but eventually the penny dropped with each. There are Help Card cards to give you hints but we did not have to use these. This is a marked as a 'beginner level' which I think is about right and for ages 10 and up which I also think is OK. Our 8 year old perhaps did not 'solve' any of the riddles but it was at a level where he could contribute ideas and had plenty to do that meant he was still actively included. Best played around a table so all can see and be involved. Can only really be played once but for the money, two hours of quality entertainment for a family of four seems good value to me. We have the Mysterious Museum to play next.

We actually bought this as a birthday present but, we have played it before. It is NOT an easy game and is certainly not for a beginner. That said it did keep us entertained for a few days. There is a lot of lateral thinking needed and that is as much as I will say about the game play.We actually did cheat somewhat regarding the single use element of the game as there are pieces of the game which need to be cut up so we actually photocopied them using the copies instead of the original game cards to be cut and it worked, so we can now hand this game over to others to play at no extra cost to them.

It is a real fun game and it is lovely that it was inspired by a nice theme.Maybe a bit complicated at times, so it’s easy to get stuck. Take this into account if it is your first time playing one of these games.

Enjoyed this game very much! A game that keeps me you engaged. Very well put together and good fun.

On the easy side but very enjoyable.

Puzzles are fun but art is badly AI generated unlike the hand-drawn art from other titles in the series. It breaks the feeling of immersion significantly.

This was our first escape room in a box and was great fun. Took 3 adults 1.5 hours to escape.Really well set out, easy to follow instructions and fun puzzles - some easier than others.Will definitely be ordering one of the children's ones as our 6 year old was desperate to join in! Oh, and another version for ourselves obviously- think I'm hooked.Well worth the pennies especially if time and money stop you going to a proper escape room
