dV Giochi Deckscape: The Curse of The Sphinx

My husband and I enjoyed this deck. It’s the second escape type game we’ve played at home. The deck has a fun way to track and grade your mistakes. This made every puzzle we solved that much more satisfying. Definitely will be buying another deck from this brand. Our biggest takeaway - the main goal of the game is to use your time wisely.

So, I've tried 4 of these Deckscapes. I just don't like them nearly as much as Exit: The Game, Unlock!, or Escape Room: The Game. The puzzles often have multiple solutions, and since there is only a you are RIGHT or WRONG (in other words, it tells you the right answer immediately if you guess wrong) it is disappointing to not get another shot at trying things the way the author intended. The other games I mentioned do a really good job of telling you that you are wrong without spoiling the answer.

Had a lot of fun for an evening. Did get this because some on a forum said it was repayable, which isn't really the case. Since you solve the puzzles, there aren't alternatives, you'd just be re-solving the same puzzle.The puzzles range from extremely easy to extremely finicky (eg. needing to remember a silly word from 25 cards ago that wasn't relevant the entire game).Overall, a generally fun evening and easy to pass along to a friend when you're done.

I did not feel like the puzzle were not cohesive and not well thought out.
