Box One By Neil Patrick HarrisTheory11 OnlineEscape roomTabletopHeard a lot of good things about Box One and it did not disappoint! Given the affordable price, the production value was impressive, especially for a game that can be reset and replayed by others. Lots of nice little surprises, twists and turns, plus clever integration of technology. Wish it were longer and a more challenging, but still highly recommend it.
Mystery at the Stargazer's ManorThinkFunEscape roomTabletopIt was fine, much like the other Thinkfun escape games, but way too easy. Our team of 3 (including 2 kids) finished it in 38 minutes out of the 120-minute time limit, and a big chunk of that was spent reading the story cards. A decent game overall, but wish we could've gotten more bang for our buck.
Murder in the MafiaThinkFunEscape roomTabletopThis was okay, a bit disappointing overall considering we were very excited by the concept of a 3D tabletop game where you can fold the cardboard into an "escape room". But despite a decent story, the puzzles were just okay and often a bit finicky. We surprisingly enjoyed Thinkfun's Dr. Gravely more, even though that was a simpler game.
Secret of Dr. Gravely's RetreatThinkFunEscape roomTabletopSimilar to the EXIT games in terms of the solution wheel, but the puzzles are much more straightforward and easy to solve. So it really depends what you prefer. We had fun.
Box Two By Neil Patrick HarrisTheory11 OnlineEscape roomTabletopA solid game that would've been better received but for Box One being super awesome and AI taking off over the last couple of years. Still fun, with a few nice surprises and cool ideas, though the chat mechanism was somewhat restrictive and tedious. A step down from Box One, unfortunately, though I nonetheless appreciate the effort.
Tomb RobbersEscape Room The GameEscape roomTabletopReally enjoyed the main games, which is why this expansion pack was so disappointing. Ridiculously finicky, to the point where it was virtually unplayable and no fun at all. Such a shame.
