Fun game for family
My family loves escape rooms, we have done many. We decided to give a couple of the escape room games a go. They are play once and optionally pass it on. I figured for the price it was like going to see a movie, but something we could do together. The game play was very linear, you could really only work on 1 or 2 puzzles at a time. That said, my family liked this better than all scattering to work on different puzzles like the other one we played. We felt we had to work more together. The puzzles were challenging and fun but not real hard, probably intermediate level. The game recommend 2 hours for 4 people, but we finished in 1 hour. One thing we really liked in the game is the solution wheel, it basically lets you confirm your answer before you move on to next step. The game says it is for up to 8 people but more than 4 with the linear play of puzzles would be hard. Another big plus is the online material. It was cool that they had music play lists to set the mood. The hint guide was nice and easy to use. We used it once. I like that you can get partial hints. And they had a very nice online guide for repacking if you do want to pass the game on. We liked the game enough I bought the other two from this publisher. Would definitely recommend for up to 4 players.

Best for two people
My husband and I did this escape room together! Even though the box says 3-8 players, we were definitely fine with just 2 people. In fact, I think it would be hard for more than 2 to work on it at a time. There’s usually only one small thing to work on at a time so I think some people would be bored if you had more than 2 or 3. Anyway, we have done many real life escape rooms and really love them, but this is our first one in a box. We finished this one in about 1.5 hours. The puzzles weren’t terribly challenging but still fun to figure out. The packaging was really high quality and we loved getting to make choices in the story and see what happened! This would probably be an appropriate level of challenge for younger people, maybe around 13+ years old. I think people who haven’t done any type of escape rooms before would enjoy this too!

Best escape room game!
I have played a massive number of escape/puzzle type games. I usually play them in small groups (2-3 people) but I played this one solo, however my only regret was not sharing the fun! That was okay though, because you can follow their easy step by step instructions to repackage it back to original setup for someone else to enjoy. It was not extremely challenging, but the puzzles were fun and intuitive. I purchased the voodoo dollhouse to play with company and I just wish this developer had made more games. I have loved the Thames and kosmos exit games but sometimes the puzzles are unrealistic. I absolutely recommend this for both beginners and seasoned players.

One of the best escape room games I've yet played
My family and I have played probably 10 or so "Exit the Game" games, and probably 9 "Unlock!" scenerios, but this was our first "Escape the Room" game and it was amazing! The puzzles weren't too challenging, but had this been our first game of this style, I imagine they would have been perfect. I really loved the physical puzzles you solve, (prisoner puzzles.) I also really appreciated that think fun had instructions on their website for repacking up the game so we could lend it to friends or play it again, that was a really nice touch. I highly recommend this game, it was super clever and loads of fun. The story was immersive, and the puzzles were great.
