Our Pick:

Escape Room the Game

Categories:

Strategy. 60 minutes. 3-5 players. Age 16+ (but there is a Family Edition for Ages 10+)

Recommended by:

Chloe and Evie

Why we chose it:

Escape Room the Game is a great puzzle series that starts off with 4 different Scenarios (plus an introductory room) for you to play through, each at a different difficulty level.  It's a great game to play if your looking to inflect some self induced stress with a ticking timer for about an hour, so perfect for entertaining friends and family this winter! They have also released a family version for ages 10+ which would be great for the school holidays.

Its not great for people who like to solve puzzles at a leisurely pace as the time pressure is constant and there is a penalty for incorrect solutions.

Similar Games:

EXIT The Game from KOSMOS would be our first recommendation for similar games to the Escape room series as these are great puzzle/escape game series that provide a fun challenge! Similarly KOSMOS have made an Adventure Game Series which provide a multitude of fun and challenging puzzles, but also have a larger story line and challenge along side them.
