Escape Room in a Box: The Werewolf Experiment Game

My husband, son (9 years old), and I loved this escape room in a box. I had done one (in person) escape room previously, but my husband and son were totally new to escape rooms. We solved it in about 1.5 hours. The 9 year old got antsy and wandered off after 45 minutes (but he was able to solve two of the challenges on his own prior to that). My husband and I finished it off. We all had fun. The puzzles were clever but not too hard. We had to consult the hints guide once. I recommend for anyone who likes solving puzzles!

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.

I think some of the reviews for this product are a little harsh, Especially on the quality of the puzzles. It is the case that a few are printed on paper but the theme of the whole escape room runs throughout in its design and most importantly the puzzles are logical. Its hard to give a full review without any spoilers but to us, the role the paper puzzles played in the whole experience made total logical sense. Combined with the hands on elements this makes a great place to start if you've tried actual escape rooms and wish to try one at home.We got this while it was on a lightning deal so came to less than £25. That seems about right price-wise and its RRP of over £30 seems a bit much.Overall, theres lots of elements here which made it a fun experience and if Mattel bought out a second one then we would definitely buy it.

Todo correcto

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.
