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

We'd tried a level 3 exit game before and find it quite a challenge so went for a 2 this time. It was perfect! Took 3 adults 3 and a half fun hours. There were clues if you needed them but usually we didn't and various "strange items" which you often needed to use to solve each riddle. Once you solved each riddle, you moved on to the next step to escape from the enchanted forest. Highly recommended if it's your first go at an escape game.

This has been a game changer for games night with the family. The cleverness of the “riddles” and the way it’s presented was just amazing. Yes, it is a use once only game but totally worth it. Will definitely be buying some more

takes a long time to play but the puzzles are a lot of fun.

We played this with 2 adults, an 11 and 8 year olds. It definitely took longer than the recommended 2 hours play time and we ended up playing over 2 evenings - the younger children got distracted on the longer challenges but they are below the recommended age.The game encouraged lots of discussion and theories. It’s only a novice level so I dread to think how difficult the higher challenges are! But it was so much fun! I love the eco friendliness of the packaging and how everything you need is contained in the box, which can all be recycled at the end. Great concept and can’t wait to play another one.

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 used this for our New Year’s Eve entertainmentTook us 2.5 hoursWas the first one we done but will def do anotherA different type if interment for the price of three cinema tickets

So much cheaper than an escape room but shame you can only use once. Some of the clues are really tricky but we escaped after 2 hours (three teens and an 11 year old). Would work better for two than four players as hard for everyone to join in at once

Fun family game.

This is our second Exit brand escape room and we enjoyed it very much. It was a difficulty 2, which for our group was just hard enough to be fun. We had to tap into a few clues to keep the game going, which means the challenge of it was right on. Some of the puzzles were very easy for us because we kinda knew what to look for when it came to Exit puzzles, but others were still surprising.If you like puzzles, cyphers, and games requiring keen eyes for complex clues, this is a great starter game. I’m definitely curious what the next level of difficulty will be like!FYI, these are one-time use games. You will, in the process of playing, have to destroy some of the game materials. So be aware that they’re selling a one-time experience.We have a great time and look forward to another Exit escape room game in the future.

This was so fun to do! Very easy to follow the directions but still a challenge to figure out. This was my first one of these I tried and it took about an hour or 2 to complete it with my boyfriend’s mom. It was a great way to spend time together! Definitely want to get more of these

We absolutely love these games! I think we've played five or six of them now, and our 12 year old loves to play with us as well. You can play with just one or two people or more. I think 3 or 4 has been the most fun and comfortable. They are just tricky enough that you feel very challenged, but easy enough that if you spend the appropriate amount of time and get the hang of the clues you can solve it. If you like escape rooms, you will love this game. I love to keep a handful of them with different difficulties in the closet for rainy days. At first I was a little bothered that you could only play each game once, but they are good for at least two or three hours of fun. We usually take breaks to get snacks and end up talking about the game and rushing back to try to figure it out.

My 9 year old son was a bit disappointed we weren't unlocking 'real' locks and doors but his 11 year old sister, and mom and I had a great time. It was pretty challenging too!

I'm so glad we found these games. We've already completed two and are looking to get more. Its a perfect for a family game night with our teen.
