Review on ๐Ÿ” Thames Kosmos Multiplayer Mystery Exit by Andrew Aldana

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Loved it (replay info included)

This is the second exit game I've played. I started with Sunken Treasure and I find that the storyline of this game is a bit stronger. This is advertised as a museum theme, but in fact the first or both puzzles were about time travel. The story is ok, but not great. I gave it 5 stars because it's made for an enjoyable day/evening. My 7-year-old son "helpedโ€ me with this. He was interested and followed me. There were a couple of spots where an interested but younger child could really help out. The first two puzzles really amazed me. I had to use 4 help cards in the first 3 or 4 puzzles and thought I would end up failing. As it turned out, the rest of the game went smoothly. I ended up just using those 4 for the entire game. If you want to play it with your youngest child (6 or 7 is the youngest I would recommend and only if they are more advanced) play the game alone and then "lead" it through. My son asked me to do Sunken Treasure as soon as we finished this game - he liked it so much. I pulled it out and started feeding it through. It seems to him that he is solving mysteries, but in fact his mother is leading him to a solution. Review: Make copies of the following puzzle cards: B, I, J, and K before beginning. Everything else can be done with no harm to the game. And you can throw away the border on the left after knocking out the "small card".

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled
