Thames & Kosmos EXIT: The Return to the Abandoned Cabin, Escape Room Card Game, Family Games for Game Night, Board Games for Adults and Kids, For 1 to 4 Players, Ages 12+

Very clever, enjoyable and good value for money.

I love these exit games and have done a few, but this was very challenging. Good fun but not easy

The most challenging we've played so far. Very surprising and interactive. You are so close to the answers and to solve puzzles by mistake, yet you don't. I loved it and it really did challenge my group.

Spoiler Free review: This was the first Exit the Game that I tried as it was recommended and a moderate difficulty (3.5/5). I played it two player.Overview: It was fun, and did make me want to try other (harder)titles, but it could have done more with some of the puzzles. If you have escape room experience, you will have no trouble with this, but it was still entertaining and took about an hour. This was great with two people, and would likely be great for one person or a family. There's maybe not enough to do for a larger amount of players (6).Pros: There's a great variety of puzzles in here! The designers have thought of many ways to use card and paper for some unexpected solutions. The system of checking answers is also very smart. This was great played with two people and did take about an hour. Nice, small box full of goodies to explore. It does a pretty good job of emulating the different types of puzzles that are found in escape rooms and the puzzles generally related well to the theme of the lab. Everything in the box is of a high quality card and print.Cons: my main criticism is that some of the later puzzles were easier and felt a little lazy. At the start, there were some real head scratchers that took a couple of steps to solve, but at the end some clues were solved with just one card or step. This lead towards a somewhat quick and anticlimatic finish.The game is not expensive but can only be played properly once. Some cutting up is involved. However, you could still give this to somebody else afterwards and it would not lose too much value in the experience.We did not use any of the hint cards, and so felt like we didn't touch half the things in the box. That and our relatively quick solving meant the value for money was so so for me.The artwork could have been used more. Many of the cards have only text or basic diagrams for riddles. It would have been nice if more things were hidden in artwork/the room. Further, the flavour text on the cards added nothing to the game. More could have been done with this, too. The theme overall could have been a bit stronger to be more immersive.Conclusion: a great way for two of us to spend an evening. It was fun and had some satisfying puzzles, but also some puzzles that felt more lazy. It made me want to try one of the harder boxes which also seem to be the highest rated. I would recommended trying out these games, select a difficulty that will work well for you!

I did it with my 12 yo son and we had a lot of fun. It can only be done once though, you need to cut and fold cards and papers. Will buy another one soon.

My wife, daughter and son love these games.

Every year my partner receives an Exit advent Calendar and it is so much fun for everyone to enjoy and we have tried the other games and they never disappoint with puzzles of different aspects and abilities, twist and turns and fantastic writing that gets you excited going along with the story - Highly reccomend!

We have done two exit games previously and enjoyed them. 5 adults attempted this NYE after a couple of drinks and we gave up. Two of us played it tonight, with a cuppa but I have to say it was so hard. There were some really tricky puzzles. I don't think the game flowed like the others and we didn't enjoy the game at all. I'd say give this one a miss.

Wow, we enjoyed this one a lot. We felt it was quite different from most other games in the EXIT series, very unique and so where the puzzles. It took us almost 3h to complete, we didn't take any hints though. Super fun!

This was REALLY difficult but really fun. Whoever created it put so much thought and time into it, the puzzles were wonderful!

My husband, oldest two children (17 & 19), and I have completed many Exit games! Kidnapped in Fortune City was one our favorites! This game had many extra pieces and some very clever clues. We didn't perhaps score as high on this one as others, but the fun factor of this one was great. I would recommend this Exit game as well as many others.

Great brain games that make you think. It is a team sport so everyone is on the same team to solve the game. Fun entertainment for after the dinner part of your gathering.

I gave this as a gift to a friend and we played it together. So fun, the clues are creative and the plot is engaging. Will definitely buy more from Exit!
