Thames & Kosmos - EXIT: The Sunken Treasure - Level: 2/5 - Unique Escape Room Game - 1-4 Players - Puzzle Solving Strategy Board Games for Adults & Kids, Ages 12+ - 694050

I love all the Exit games. This was a good solve for family game night. You’re able to include everyone. Puzzles were difficult but not too hard to solve. I fully recommend this game

Love, love, love these Exit games, an escape room in a box! They are great, provide hours of fun, will give your brain cells a workout and are perfect for multi-generational groups to play together. If I had one negative comment, it would be that you usually need a piece of paper, pencil or pen and pair of paper scissors and these aren't provided, which isn't usually a problem if at home but the first one we bought, we were travelling, and didn't have scissors so had to tear certain bits of paper, when precision cutting is required.

Good game. Not that difficult and can kind of guess your way to the correct answer. Bought this for a game with family over zoom which didn't work out well as you need to draw and cut things so they didn't get to participate much but if you are all at one table it could be useful. Lots of small parts though so not easy for all to see.

This game is easy to set up and play. The game is rated as an easy one and although we have played a lot of this type of game we needed to use about 6 of the help cards. Make sure you have a scissors handy as you need to cut some of the parts. The game took us about 1 hour and 20 minutes. It was an enjoyable experience and I am planning to buy another one to play soon.

Good plot and game for a bit of fun if you like doing escape rooms at home

Ive played a few of these types of games and although it idea of having a 'home escape room' sounds enticing, I've always found them to be a little anti-climactic and usually contain a few puzzles which we had no idea how we should have solved. This usually leads us to lose a large amount of time and becoming frustrated and how the puzzles should have been done at all. For "The EXIT Sunken Treasure" there are two puzzles which causes us issues. The main one being the one which included the Gems. Without giving much away, Even though our gems followed the rules.. it was still wrong. This escape room was a little different to the others I have played too as it seemed to hold your hand regarding which puzzle to do next. I guess this was for story telling reasons but resulted in everyone trying to solve the same puzzle rather than everyone trying different ones. The 'Wheel' system is still the key component which feels like its very restrictive when it comes to creating puzzles around it but the makers seem insistent on keeping it in all of their escapes. If you're a beginner at this kind of game I would recommend trying HASBOs escape room box. Edit: We have since played "Dead Man on The Orient Express". Stay well clear from this one. Not fun at all!

I've finally played this with the family in lockdown after buying it ages ago. As a result I just bought 3 more in the series. It was fun. This one is pretty simple but I wanted my family including kids of 11 and 15 to play and enjoy it so something too hard would not have worked. We scored 8 stars (of 10 max) and completed it in just under 90 minutes with just one episode of reaching for a clue card. It's interesting how the different members of the family see different things and contribute to the solutions in different ways. what one person alone might find hard is soluble with 4 heads together. We will play some more at 2/5 difficulty but I've also bought a 3/5 to progress to.... If you've not played them before, be clear that they are single use games. Not just because you know the solution once you've played it, but because you cut things up in the playing. If you know what it means, some of the games in the series won "Kennerspiel des Jahre" in 2017, which is usually a good sign!

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
