EXIT: The Game - The Lord of the Rings - Shadows Over Middle-earthThames & KosmosEscape roomTabletopI’ve been a huge LOTR fan for over a decade, so I was really excited to play this game. However, I felt like the makers were so focused on making the story make sense and fit the theme that they didn’t put much effort into the puzzles. For example, one puzzle I solved correctly according to the answer card, but it was like there were two possible ways of doing it and only one was actually correct. I usually enjoy the tabletop escape games, but this one didn’t impress me.
EXIT: The Game - The Magical AcademyThames & KosmosEscape roomTabletopLots of fun, I enjoyed nearly all of the puzzles and the story. I also loved the props, especially having magic wands. However, one of the puzzles we managed to solve incorrectly but get the right answer (the incorrect code we got gave us the same answer card number as the correct code) and the last puzzle was good in theory but difficult to actually solve. Even when using all of its help cards we were still a little confused. Overall, I would recommend this game, I just couldn’t give it a heart rating.
