Thames & Kosmos EXIT: Kidnapped in Fortune City | Escape Room Card Game | Mystery Puzzle Game for 1–4 Players | Family Game Night for Adults & Kids Age 12+ | Fun Strategy Game | Great For Gifting

Very clever, enjoyable and good value for money.

I love these exit games and have done a few, but this was very challenging. Good fun but not easy

Just a few things I wished I'd realised that others might find helpful:- The Exit Games have difficulty ratings and as a first timers playing this type of game, should have probably opted for a level 2! But that said, we certainly got our money's worth trying to solve the riddles.- There appears to be an order for this particular series, so possibly getting part one before part two would have made more sense. However, it didnt actually detract from the game play. Just feel like Ive skipped a book!- that the other interactive games that use social media or other apps isn't necessarily better, and the fact this one was a small box, with cardboard pieces actually is all you need (I also bought another game from another company but you needed to install telegram to play the game and that didn't work out very well because the servers had a glitch). So personally I'll be sticking to this brand!Overall we really enjoyed playing this game, so much so I've ordered another one to play over Christmas.Clever riddles, neat twists and turns, and the three tier help cards means you can inch along if you get stuck rather than go straight for the answer.Read the instructions together as a team, didn't take long to work things out, used about 6 help cards (there re three per riddle) so it's definitely doable for the less experienced game players.

Spoiler Free review: This was the first Exit the Game that I tried as it was recommended and a moderate difficulty (3.5/5). I played it two player.Overview: It was fun, and did make me want to try other (harder)titles, but it could have done more with some of the puzzles. If you have escape room experience, you will have no trouble with this, but it was still entertaining and took about an hour. This was great with two people, and would likely be great for one person or a family. There's maybe not enough to do for a larger amount of players (6).Pros: There's a great variety of puzzles in here! The designers have thought of many ways to use card and paper for some unexpected solutions. The system of checking answers is also very smart. This was great played with two people and did take about an hour. Nice, small box full of goodies to explore. It does a pretty good job of emulating the different types of puzzles that are found in escape rooms and the puzzles generally related well to the theme of the lab. Everything in the box is of a high quality card and print.Cons: my main criticism is that some of the later puzzles were easier and felt a little lazy. At the start, there were some real head scratchers that took a couple of steps to solve, but at the end some clues were solved with just one card or step. This lead towards a somewhat quick and anticlimatic finish.The game is not expensive but can only be played properly once. Some cutting up is involved. However, you could still give this to somebody else afterwards and it would not lose too much value in the experience.We did not use any of the hint cards, and so felt like we didn't touch half the things in the box. That and our relatively quick solving meant the value for money was so so for me.The artwork could have been used more. Many of the cards have only text or basic diagrams for riddles. It would have been nice if more things were hidden in artwork/the room. Further, the flavour text on the cards added nothing to the game. More could have been done with this, too. The theme overall could have been a bit stronger to be more immersive.Conclusion: a great way for two of us to spend an evening. It was fun and had some satisfying puzzles, but also some puzzles that felt more lazy. It made me want to try one of the harder boxes which also seem to be the highest rated. I would recommended trying out these games, select a difficulty that will work well for you!

Fantastic games

One of the riddles is quite unexpected

I did it with my 12 yo son and we had a lot of fun. It can only be done once though, you need to cut and fold cards and papers. Will buy another one soon.

We have done two exit games previously and enjoyed them. 5 adults attempted this NYE after a couple of drinks and we gave up. Two of us played it tonight, with a cuppa but I have to say it was so hard. There were some really tricky puzzles. I don't think the game flowed like the others and we didn't enjoy the game at all. I'd say give this one a miss.

I love these games! So much fun. Playing with 4 people is a stretch, but 2-3 works out really nice. The level of difficulty seems to be pretty accurate. Would recommend

La dinámica del juego fue sorprendente, los mundos y los retos me gustaron. He jugado varios éxit y este es de los mejores!

It's fun yag teaming together with a little wine. Recommend this as a first time player of exit.

My family loves escape rooms and it's been harder to get out as a group now that my husband and I have a 1 year old in tow. We bought this on a whim because I saw someone mention it online and we had a BLAST! I think I will upgrade this difficulty for our next one, but I think this is a good starter to get the feel for how it works.

These are so much fun!The writers are very clever. I've bought quite a few table top escape games, and this series is by far the best. The difficulty rating is accurate and makes it easy for me to plan according to the guests I'll be hosting. I recommend 2 to 4 players. One player is still fun, but a shared experience is better.
