Thames & Kosmos EXIT: The Enchanted Forest

Really good puzzle game. My 6/7 year old daughter loved this game! I wouldnt say it was especially difficult but it was lots of fun and did require her to use her brain power at least a little. She really enjoyed it! Good quality game, good value.

This took forever and was actually quite hard but my LOTR-loving step-Dad had a great time working through this with us at Christmas.

My partner and I have ben playing the EXIT games for years.Such a good day in activity for those rainy days or when you want to do something a bit different.Can keep you hooked for multiple hours without getting bored. I'd say the difficulty level marked on the box is quite accurate to the gameplay experience.All in all amazing value for money, high quality game and hours of fun guaranteed!

It is a real fun game and it is lovely that it was inspired by a nice theme.Maybe a bit complicated at times, so it’s easy to get stuck. Take this into account if it is your first time playing one of these games.

This game and the others by this brand are all really fun. They're great for families and friends amd would make a good gift if someone likes puzzles and solving things.

We had loads of fun with this

We played as a family of four with our sons aged 8 and 12. If you read through the instructions carefully beforehand the game is easy to set up and is clearly explained. We've never done a real life escape room experience before and this is the first home escape room of this range we've tried. We darkened the room, lit candles and lava lamps and used the atmospheric soundtrack that comes with the free app for a more 'haunted experience'. The app also has a timer for the game and will 'score' your game at the end giving you a star rating based on the time spent and the number of help cards used. The game itself is not at all scary so fine for younger players, but the soundtrack can get a bit eerie for younger children. The game has around ten challenges and it took us 1hr 58m to complete. Some puzzles are more tricky than others but eventually the penny dropped with each. There are Help Card cards to give you hints but we did not have to use these. This is a marked as a 'beginner level' which I think is about right and for ages 10 and up which I also think is OK. Our 8 year old perhaps did not 'solve' any of the riddles but it was at a level where he could contribute ideas and had plenty to do that meant he was still actively included. Best played around a table so all can see and be involved. Can only really be played once but for the money, two hours of quality entertainment for a family of four seems good value to me. We have the Mysterious Museum to play next.

Puzzles are fun but art is badly AI generated unlike the hand-drawn art from other titles in the series. It breaks the feeling of immersion significantly.
