![Identity Games [www.identity games.com] Escape Room The Game Bundle - with 6 Thrilling Escape Rooms | Solve The Mystery Board](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71n41L3XaEL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
I confess I did not have high expectations for this product. My family absolutely loves the challenge of physical escape rooms, and I wasn’t sure that the same level of difficulty or fun could be replicated in a box. However, it typically costs my family of four about $100 to visit an escape room, so I figured why not give it a try. I’m so glad I did! The detail and complexity of these tasks rival actual escape rooms, and the online features are a plus. Heads up: We were not able to view the walk through until selecting “Australian” from the drop-down menu.
The suggested age is 16+, and I think this is a good recommendation. My 15 year old was very engaged, but my 13 year old was a bit frustrated with some of it. The contents and text of some puzzles are VERY small, so it was a bit difficult for the four of us to gather around and see well. I recommend having a magnifying glass (or at least a pair of reading glasses) close at hand.
The Chrono Decoder is a nice touch. Makes the experience less like a board game and more like an adventure.
Highly recommended! I will be purchasing any future editions for sure!

All around awesome game!
I received this game free of charge from Spin Master as part of a promotion so I could provide my opinion on the product, even if I had not received it for free, it is something I would buy for game night. 5 of us played the first level called Prison Break tonight. Our ages range from 17-35 years old. It was a blast and really made us think things out. None of us had ever payed a board game like this although we have all been wanting to try and escape room for a while.First of all the game comes packaged really nicely in all 4 scenarios are clearly marked. You are only supposed to open the scenarios in order and one at a time. I would suggest you completely read the instructions before you play and allow plenty of time for instructions and set up before starting the timer. The scenario is timed for 1 hour each, and they get progressively harder to solve.The prison break scenario is the one we did. It had 3 parts and for us the second part was the hardest. You do get hints with each section though that make it easier to get through. However at one point we were stuck and the one hint we got just gave the answer but didn't explain how to get it. That made it to where we were still stuck figuring out the rest of the clue on how to solve for the other half of the answer. I feel like it would have been better to give hints on how to work out the formula used.The Chrono Decoder takes 3 AA batteries that are not included so be prepared, you have to have them in order to play. The decoder has the timer on it and I thought it was really cool that it gives you a "ding" when it's time to read the next hint. Also make sure each person has a pen or pencil and plenty of scrap paper to work out their ideas, math problems, ect.The game is very well made and the scenario we played was great. it is definitely made for older teens/adults. There are math equations, and puzzles that I am not sure younger kids may have learned yet. I would say use your own judgement as there are some kids with better math skills then adults. I gave it a 4/5 for the single fact that you can only play each scenario one time. For me that does make the price point of $40 a little high. However I did see that they are planning to make expansion packs so that is a plus.Our next game night we will play the second scenario "Virus" and I plan on going to the website and downloading their app so that we can have the thematic music to play in the background.
