## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Difficult but fun! - This game was difficult! I've done a number of escape rooms, both virtually and in person, and this one was one of the most difficult ones I've done. Granted, I'd had about 2/3rds of a bottle of prosecco at the time, but I had to use almost all of the clues. It also took me 3 hours to complete. My husband gave up after 45 minutes. Determined as always, I persevered and made it to the end. It was good fun though, and definitely worth purchasing. Probably better with more people though! I don't think I'll be joining MI5 anytime soon.
Review: Very enjoyable - So much fun. Love the imagination that goes into making these.

So much fun. Love the imagination that goes into making these.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Puzzle heaven!
*by M***S on 1 October 2018*

Escape room puzzle games were all the rage in 2017/18, and Kosmos led the way with these games. I bought this one for my mum (in her 70's) and we played it over a Sunday afternoon. You are given a booklet, a set of puzzle cards and a set of answer cards. You begin locked in a castle and you must find a series of keys that will turn different locks that will eventually free you from the castle. And that's it... you must find the clue to the first puzzle card, then turn that card over. The card gives you further information to enable you to find the next key. There is a code ring included with the game. The code ring shows different key parts of one of three rings. So the key head shapes are on the outer ring, key shafts in the middle ring and then the end part on the smallest ring. Once you have got enough information to find a given key shape, you enter it into the code wheel. A number gets displayed in a small window in the centre of the code wheel. You then pick up the answer card that bears that number and it will tell you if you are correct or not. If you are correct, it leads you to the next clue and so on. The puzzles are excellent and very creative/imaginative, although sometimes we found that a couple of them were a good idea, but fell a bit short when you actually perform them. You have to think cryptically as well as literally. If you get stuck, there are some hint cards you can refer to that will put you on the right track. We downloaded the app which includes a soundtrack to play during play which was fun, but it gets louder as you go and eventually it just became distracting so we turned it off. Point of note: - you will destroy parts of this game in order to progress, so this is a play-once only game. But at under £15, and for the amount of fun in the game, this really isn't an issue. If you love puzzles, then you must get one of these games and give it a go. More players can be a help or hindrance as you can get put down a misleading avenue by someone convinced they know the answer. If you don't like puzzles, then there is nothing here for you. Every once in a while, a new game mechanic comes along that really shakes up the modern board game industry. The escape-room games are one such example. They bring a table-top version of the ever popular real-life escape rooms, and do it very, very well.
