Escape Room Game Carnival, Escape Room in a Box. Family Games.

We played this with our 8,6 and 3 year old. The 3 year old enjoyed the ride. The 8&6 year were engaged, could complete the puzzles, some with suppor others independently. It's not an escape room as such so it took away the doom of being trapped forever. Instead you are solving the puzzles to get a job in the carnival. Fun little add on at the end. Our kids enjoyed it. Something to do on a wet day.

As a fan of tabletop escape room game, I was very excited to pre-order this game. I bought all three games from the series and this is the first one I played. I liked the simple packaging with minimal waste, considering how escape room games can be very wasteful sometimes. It doesn't require you to destroy or write something on items from the game set, so you can play it again and again with other parties.Rather than calling it a 'tabletop escape room game', it would be more suitable to call it as an 'escape room party set'. The package contains posters and puzzle pieces to set up in your room. In that sense, the description of this product is quite accurate - turn your home into a escape room! Therefore, it is up to your creativity to make this game experience more immersive.The puzzles are very simple and easy, even considering that this is the easy level. It took me about 30 minutes to solve all puzzles. Players with some experience with puzzles and tabletop escape room games will want more challenges. That is why I think this one is designed particularly for families with young children so people with little experience in puzzle can also participate. I would recommend this game if someone with children is planning a family game night or a small party.One thing I want to comment about this game is the structure. The start and the end of the game is unclear, so it doesn't really feel like an escape room game but just a bunch of puzzles that are not connected to each other. If I didn't see how many puzzles I should solve on the instruction booklet, I would have been still wondering right now if I finished the game or not. In other words, the closure of the game is not very strong. What if the answers of each puzzle create one 'final code' at the end, and that final code determines if the player succeeded to escape (or in this case, get the job)?Anyway, I think this will be enjoyable for families. I look forward to playing other games too!

I bought this for New Years Eve during the lock down to amuse my six children! It was great fun and had all the children engaged, despite the large age difference. Perhaps once used, we would remember the answers to the puzzles so maybe only a one time activity, unless new people using it or with a bad memory like my husband...!

Was OK not as fun as the blue one but still good

Quite a clever game for the price. I knew my 5-year-old wouldn't manage it but he teamed up with mummy and he really enjoyed the running around finding clues.Going to buy another one and do it with family/friends when I can as would be even more fun in a bigger group.

Just me and my partner played this during lockdown, fun to pass the time but didn't even take us an hour. I would suggest this would be better with more people so you can add competition in teams.

Loved love loved this game!! Played with my husband and 4 children ages 5, 8,9,10Although 5 year old didn’t completely understand he still enjoyed! The puzzles where great and took us a couple of hours! We really enjoyed it!

The games looks interesting, I bought it for my Grandson for Xmas, so I expect we will be playing it over Xmas.Must add service was excellent as usual from Amazon.
