Thames & Kosmos Exit the Game Bundle of 6: The Secret Lab, The Abandoned Cabin, The Pharaoh's Tomb, The Forbidden Castle, The Polar Station, and The Forgotten Island

The order was processed and sent out quickly, very well packed for travel and arrived in excellent condition. Games have been fun thus far, though not as challenging as I had hoped, but I did begin with the lowest skill rating included so there are still a few chances to stir the ol’ noodle. So all in all, I would rate this a good purchase! Great for a family of mixed ages, I would say 10-15 kid wise and younger adult-adult wise so far on the lower skill ratings... could be a little more challenging. That is a personal preference though and easily remedied by working with a friend or small group of people unfamiliar with this style of gaming. You can always get a chuckle out of that! (...and a more challenging/fulfilling experience as groups tend to disagree on practically everything.) Fun games! I would make other purchases from this seller in the future and I would definitely play more of these games. Thanks for reading! Hope this helps... 4/5 games and 5/5 shipper with this experience. Good.

After playing through the full set of these and also trying another brand, these are a great challenge. Definitely take the time to understand the mechanic of how the puzzles work. If you try to solve a puzzle before you have all of the pieces, it will be very frustrating. Each puzzle has a shape associated with it, make sure that you have that symbol in the room before you try and solve the puzzle, some pieces to solve a puzzle are available before you can use it. There are hints for each puzzle, so you can always get help if you get stuck. Having a pen and paper is extremely helpful, but you don't need to have any trivia knowledge or anything like that, which is nice.Don't plan to replay these unless you are willing to spoil it for yourself and make copies of everything. Some cards need to be destroyed to solve the puzzles and the book might need to be written in, folded, torn, etc.

These puzzles are great. I work on them with my twelve-year-old who has a lot of trouble thinking flexibly. This is a fun way for him to practice rethinking a problem and looking at clues from a different perspective. We don't time them, but we do play the creepy sound effects from the website (different sounds for each puzzle). The only downside is that they really are only useable one time. It's all recyclable, but it still feels like a lot of waste.

I love escape games! These are “ok” and for the price an overall bargain. However, once you’ve played one they all look the same. I bought the whole series not expecting that. They are also obscure at times with no rhyme or reason to a puzzle solution. I think they could have used more logic and less randomness. Still .... I would recommend ONE game to try out and if you love it, buy more.

My kids received these as a Xmas gift and loved them. Will definitely be on our list for future purchases.

These games are a terrific manifestation of actual escape rooms. If you enjoy those, you will love these games.

I bought this set of six thinking we could play some over Christmas break and our college aged children could take some back to school with them. We only played them because we didn't want to quit. Games aren't fun, most of the time they are confusing and aggravating. Finally finished the last three this weekend because our children declined to bring them back to college with them. They didn't get better. Don't waste your money!!!
