  • 5.0 out of 5 stars Love these games! They are all clever - each one amazingly different
Style: The Secret Lab
My husband and I have done 2 real escape rooms and loved them both. During the quarantine I wanted to find something non-electronic that we could do together and a cooperative game sounded like just the thing. We started the EXIT series with the Mysterious Museum (a level 2), then Secret Lab (3 1/2). Since then we’ve also played Pharoah’s Tomb (4) and Sunken Treasure (2) and have Forgotten Island (3) and Forbidden Castle (4) waiting in the wings. Having done four of these games so far, this is what I have to say: We are absolutely AMAZED at the cleverness. I’m particularly amazed that although each game follows the same basic format (i.e. once you’ve played one you will know quickly how to play the rest), each one is completely and utterly different in terms of theme and puzzles to solve. We have seen no duplications of anything, though each game does give you more ideas about how to think for the next one. We time each clue and then enjoy going back over what stumped us. Some puzzles took 1-3 minutes, others took 20-30 minutes or more. On the first game my husband felt we were stuck too long at one point so he went for a clue, but I was sorely disappointed that we did that. Since then we tough it out - NO CLUES! Though after we’ve escaped the room it’s fun to go back and read them. Also - these are one and done games. In other words, once you solve it you won’t want to do that again (unless some time has passed and you have a terribly memory) because it’s one solution - one game. There is no variation if you play it again. BUT... for the price - it’s cheaper than two movie tickets (also one and done) and totally worth it for an evening of entertainment. They say you have to cut/tear/bend and while that’s true we managed to keep each of the games in tact and passed them along to friends. Sometimes it SAYS to cut so we cut and just taped back together. If bending was required we used our imagination so as not to deface the game or give clues to the next players. We were able to make it happen each time. So technically you can pass it along if you want to, but even if you didn’t - like I say - cheaper than going to the movies. How many people? One could do it. Two was perfect for us. MAYBE three, but the caveat is that the pieces are small and can only be looked at by a couple people at a time. If you had a group of 4 or 5, someone will be waiting. Two people is great because the ones I got quickly, he wouldn’t have and visa versa. My only complaint: the writing is quite small on some of the pieces making it really difficult for me to read. My younger-eyed husband didn’t have a problem, but if it were just me the tiny print on some of the cards would have taken away some of the joy. So far we’ve had four great date nights and had a blast. The people who aren’t liking this game obviously just bought the wrong game for them. Go into it understanding and accepting the challenge and you will do just fine. The clues are pretty good and are progressive... so lets say you take a clue and you already had figured that out - it won’t count against you and you have two more progressive clues to check if you’d like. So there is no reason you can’t finish or understand the game. Be patient, clever, and think outside the box (or sometimes inside the box, but I digress...) LOVE.THESE.GAMES. !!! ... show more

  • 5.0 out of 5 stars Fun game!
Style: The Secret Lab
This was my first time playing one of the Exit games and it was so much fun. Our crowd was extremely tired and distracted by interruptive children, so I do just to do it without kids and well rested. It took us just over two hours with 4 people. The clues were hard enough to make it fun and you felt good about figuring something out. There were two clues that stumped us and the clue cards were a bit dumb, we’d have to pull 2-3 before they told us something we already didn’t know. There was only one clue that we figured out but the pattern didn’t really make sense and we just had to try different combinations until it worked. It was fun because the four of us all offered different ideas so we each played a part. I think the game could have been super confusing if I didn’t have two people playing that had played an exit game before. They explained how different things worked because of their experience with the last game. Like knowing that some cards you don’t use right away and and where to look and what not. I bought this game for a friend, but I got it on a sale, I personally don’t think I’d pay full price just because you only get one use out of the game. My one major complaint with the company that makes them is to make multiple books! It was frustrating that only one person would be able to figure out the clues while the rest of us would sit around because we couldn’t see the book. I highly suggest you copy the pages of the book or take pictures of the book just so you can look together at the same time so everyone can be helpful. ... show more

  • 4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent "game night" activity for a group
Style: The Secret Lab
I purchased The Secret Lab as a way to simulate the traditional "Escape Room" activities that my family has grown to enjoy as tradition for the past few years, but obviously with a lot of these places either still closed or out of business due to COVID I had to look elsewhere. The group of 6 had several less "puzzle-minded" people, but everyone was able to find a way to meaningfully contribute, even if that just meant being a designated note-taker, etc. The puzzles were challenging at times but all felt fair and never felt unsolvable. There were some clever misdirections that sent the group down rabbit holes, but made the eventual solution more fun. The game includes a scoring system based on time taken to complete and number of clues used along the way, but the lack of the hard time limit & cap on number of clues you typically find in a physical escape room puzzle made the experience much more inclusive and fun for the entire group. I would absolutely consider purchasing another Exit game for our next game night and will recommend the series to friends and family. ... show more

  • 5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but best for ppl who really like solving puzzles
Style: The Secret Lab
My engineer gaming group (4 ppl, 30 yrs old) took 2 hours to solve this with 3 hints\clues used. It was pretty hard. I'd start with an easier one if you're new to escape rooms. Our 4th engineer decided to quit after 20 mins because none of the solutions we were coming up with made sense to him. The system is very well designed. It definitely feels more like a real escape room than some other escape room board games I've played. Educated guesses are not punished if they're wrong (like some other escape room board games), but rote guessing is also not a real option without feeling like you're cheating. Ckue\hints system was pretty decent too. 3 clues you can take for each puzzle, first one gives what pieces you need to solve the puzzle, second gives hints on how to solve it, and third tells you the solution to the puzzle. This game has one real advantage over in person escape rooms in that there's no real time limit. You can keep going for as long as you want. You don't get kicked out of the room after you fail to complete it within the hour time slot. The only way you can fail this game is by quitting. When you finish, you get a rating based off how long it took to solve and by how many clues\hints you used. ... show more
