Escape Room in a Box: The Werewolf Experiment Game

Das Positive: Sehr schöne Ausstattung mit Blacklightlampe, Petrischale, Boxen und Schlössern. Natürlich alles aus Plastik, aber funktionabel. Das Negative: Teilweise sehr einfallslose Rätsel wie Kreuzwort oder Worträtsel. Man merkt, dass dies eines der allerersten Escape Room Spiele für Zuhause war - es war ursprünglich ein Kickstarter-Projekt, das dann von Mattel übernommen wurde. Insgesamt aber dennoch spaßig. Auf der Website gibt es eine Anleitung zum wieder Einpacken, man kann es also mehrmals spielen und muss nichts kaputtmachen, wie bei den Spielen von Kosmos.

Todo correcto

This is an excellent game. It comes very close to a real-life escape game! Lots of puzzles, lots of stuff for the players to do. A good variety of puzzles, too. Some easy, some hard. NOTE: If you want to replay the game without having to reprint materials, tell the players to write in pencil -- and very lightly -- on the papers. With a good eraser, you'll be able to remove the marks completely, and then you can host the game with new players, or pass it along to friends and family.

Our family of seven (age range 21 to, er, 50-something) had a great time trying to solve the puzzles and escape with the werewolf antidote. We got out in around 40-45 minutes. Everything worked properly, the puzzles were challenging but not impossible (or, to be more precise, the younger elements within our party seemed to understand what they were supposed to do), and fun was had by all. For a single use game the price might seem steep, but compare it to the cost of going to an actual Escape Room and it suddenly seems quite reasonable. Recommended!

As escape room enthusiasts, my husband and I are always looking for fun at home versions. We have done all of the available Unlock and Exit games, which are great, but this one has a different quality too it, mostly being there is a lot more "stuff". We enjoy having more physical puzzles and trinkets to play with, so that was a great feature in our eyes. The puzzles were clever, fun, and for the most part well designed with a few minor exceptions. We found the wording occasionally odd, and there was one puzzle that was almost irrelevant, however overall it was money well spent and well worth the $22. It was really nice to have physical locks to undo, but, of course at such a low price point, they weren't high quality. With all that said, this is still a 5-star product and well worth the money spent. We played with 2 adults which was so fun because we got to be involved in almost every puzzle. It took us 49 minutes to escape and we used just one hint.
