Thames & Kosmos EXIT: The Stormy Flight | Escape Room Game in a Box| – Kosmos Family Friendly, Card-Based at-Home Experience for 1 to 4 Players, Ages 12+

As advertised, arrived on time

This was our first Exit Game we played. We have done several escape rooms and really enjoyed that, so we got one of the Exit games o keep us entertained during lockdown. We chose the Stormy Flight as one of us is in the airline industry. We did need a few hints to get us going and therefore had a slow start, but we really enjoyed it once we got in the right puzzle mindset for it. We did take almost 2.5hrs to do it and both had a bit of a headache after, but this might just be due to it being our first one and it does take some practice and getting used to, in particular the extend of where to look for clues and how to use and even destroy them. I understand where complaints about the price come from as it is a single use game and you could get replayable games for not much more, however we both agreed it absolutely is worth the money. The escape rooms we've played from all over the world were anywhere between 20-35 pounds per person for one hour of fun. Having played this with two people, that cost us £6.75 each for two and a half hours of fun. You can do the math if you would play these with a party of 4. You are also provided with quite a lot of game components of good quality. If however you would still find the single use and/or game time an obstacle, we would highly recommend the adventure games, the Dungeon or Monochrome inc. We have played the Dungeon last night, and we played for 5 hours (with breaks) and you don't destroy anything making it possible to pass it on.

I saw these EXIT games in the lobby of an escape room we visited. So I was curious on how a little box could actually hold a whole escape room experience. My review is not for this edition per say, since we have not done it yet. But it's the 4th EXIT game I buy. They are really fun. Well made. Surprising. We were quite skeptical at first, but are now sold on them. Perfect when you don't want to dish out the 100$ (cos of course us parents pay for the whole family!). At a fraction of the price, you get a whole evening of fun. So for a family of 4, it takes us a good 2 to 3 hours to get through one. The first one was a little longer since we had to comprehend the whole process... but the concept is relatively the same in each one. But, there are always new twists and surprises in each one so it never gets boring. I would highly recommend to anyone who likes escape rooms or even for someone who wants to try it before going to an escape room... get you brain trained to think outside the box.

Excellent game. Played it with my 5 and 7 year old and they were able to help solve the riddles, but still challenging enough to engage adults as well. They are looking forward to the next exit game.

A good time pass for a couple of hours. Definitely will recommend.

This was our second EXIT game and our first at a level 2. Our first one was a gift and was level 3 so we decided to try a lower level before we kept moving up with levels (figuring it would be more entertaining to do the lower levels while we were still new to the games). Level 2 was definitely easier and the puzzles were more straightforward but I think they are still challenging for someone without puzzle or escape room experience. Things we noticed: - 2 of us completed this game. While it says more players can play, many of the puzzles can really only be done by 1 or 2 players. Additional players can help with brainstorming but not everyone can physically do every puzzle. - The level 2 was more linear. Level 3 seemed much more multi-layered - Keep in mind this game can only be played once and items get destroyed in the process of solving. This point will help you not only solve puzzles but also give you an idea of the cost value (which is still extremely low compared to an actual escape room)
