Thames & KosmosEXIT: The Enchanted Forest| A Kosmos Escape Room Game in a Box| Family Friendly, Card-Based at-Home Escape Room Experience for 1 to 4 Players, Ages 12+ , Black

I love these EXIT games. This one was lots of fun with cute characters and great little puzzles. I have played other EXIT games and this was not my favorite, but still enjoyed it and do not regret having bought it. It is a good beginner game and also there were some very challenging riddles which kept it interesting.When playing these games for the first time there is a slight learning curve. After you have played one or two you will better know what to expect in terms of where to look for clues and Solutions. They are very tricky.With all the EXIT games in order to solve the riddles you have to think outside the box, but also sometimes inside the box.When I buy these games I get two of them. One for me and I have one sent to my daughter in another state. We play over FaceTime and have a blast. It usually takes us two evenings to finish. This type of game has provided a great opportunity for my daughter and I to still spend quality time together.I always look forward to purchasing our next set of games. The developers have done a great job of designing a mini escape room in a box.

Super fun. A bit of a learning curve for a first timer for this style of game. Usually clues for the first step are obvious, so it felt guilty getting a 'low' score. But super fun

This is the third time playing one of these exit games. The first time we (2 people) actually felt frantic because we felt time pressured and looked at the clues too quickly. Then we opted for solving the puzzles without trying for hints. This time we had three players and everyone wanted control of the wheel, or the puzzle sheets. There's always a sense of time frustration lurking, giving the game an edgy feel.This puzzle for novice level was simpler than the others with three stars. Still we managed to mangle one of the puzzles with our incorrect folding skills. And it was fun using some drawing skills as we all did some funky ones and laughed at them. And always remember the box can be part of any puzzle, but in very different ways.We just enjoy them more as we play them, as some learning curve factors in for puzzle styles. It's hard to believe the creative story line, the puzzles to solve (a great mix of obvious to nah, never gonna get that), and unique items comes in such a small box. Just plain fun for two to three hours if you like puzzles, a challenge, and cooperative gaming.

It was are first time but it was not easy to follow through. Good game we bought another to try again.

This was so much fun! I highly recommend it.

This was the first EXIT game I've tried. For context, I've done maybe a half-dozen escape rooms over time - by no means an expert, but familiar with how it works. We played this game with my in-laws over the holidays, who had no experience with this type of game. Everyone had a good time, although it did take us a little longer to solve everything. The hint system is reasonable and mostly keeps things going along, but I will say there was one puzzle that even with the hints, we struggled to understand what we were supposed to be doing.I thought the game mechanics worked pretty well given the constraints it needs to fit in a box. There's still something fun about an actual escape room where there's more opportunity to explore a larger space that's hard to replicate here - but I'd probably be happy to get more of these games.

Very affordable but more difficult and took longer to complete than anticipated.

The game is lots of fun with about 2-4 people.Suitable for ages 10 and upMust have an open mind
