Trapped Escape Room Games AH001 Art Heist, Ideal Family Game for Lockdown / Turn Your Home into a Escape Room, No Waiting for Turns, Escape Room in a Box Kit, Up to 6 Players, Age 8+

Ok, I love Exit: The Game, Unlock, Escape Room: The Game, Escape the Room, and Esker. I dislike Deckscape.So, I'm now looking for some other options. This definitely fits the bill. I will buy the rest of the series. What is nice about this one is it is truly designed to be set up in a room. Players can move about the room and put the information together to solve the puzzle. The first part of the puzzle was fantastic and logical. The second part was anti-climatic. I was, like, "is this it"? How do I know if I won the game? So, I read the hints (for the first time) and I had the right answer, but just not in the right order (There is more than one way to solve this puzzle... but it is still essentially the same solution.. just oriented differently.) So, prepare to be disappointed by how the game ends. I mean, come on, they could have said take the middle 3 numbers and look up that answer in the book to read the conclusion.

The game was too easy and there were only about 6 puzzles to solve, one of which wasn't even needed to get the final answer. Not worth the $22. Should have been under $10.

It was hard to follow and understand what we needed to do to solve the puzzle.

Puzzles were fun. The problem we had with this game is there is ZERO confirmation that you have finished the game- no conclusion or wrap up or anything. The story line was very weak. Compared to exit games this feels way over priced.

Nothing about this made sense. Filled with redundancies and typos. No obvious confirmation of solution at the end. Better off playing Go Fish for more intrigue and problem-solving.

We’ve done in person and at home escape rooms, but this one we had to look up how to solve every single clue. Not fun, just frustrating.

We bought this game to entertain my husband and two boys as we had a great time at a real life Escape Room to celebrate my birthday last year! We played it with our 12 and 10 year old boys and it was load of fun and we loved it. Best hour and a half we’ve spent as a family in ages. An added bonus is that it took the boys away from their devices for a while! The story went that we had to identify and steal a valuable painting by solving the puzzles and at the end there was a code to escape the art exhibition aka our lounge! Some of the puzzles had us scratching our heads but we got there in the end and it was great working together so no one was left out. The clue book and code reader that came in the pack helped us a few times to be fair! When we can socialise again I think it will be fun to give it a go with friends as well. I can recommend this for a fun family night in.

This was our first DIY escape room so this may not be a fair review as we didn't know what to expect. Confusing to start because we tried to check the contents to make sure we had everything we needed, and thought we were missing pieces because the instructions didn't tell you some pieces are inside an envelope with 'do not open' on it. There was also another bit we got stuck on, caused by using a stock image. But other than that, it gave us good entertainment for an hour. Some clever puzzles that can be worked in any order so it's quite relaxing. I would recommend and will check out the next difficulty level.

First proper attempt at an escape room, played with my daughter is right in a few months. She is neuro diverse so I wasn’t sure if this game would be for her but all I can say is wow! We had such fun, she was fully engaged for hours while we played this, we had a break of about 40 mins while I had to take a phone call but straight back to it. It’s the first one we’ve done so took me a little while to get my head round it but seriously we loved this game. Off to buy more now! 5 ⭐️

Was missing an I.D badge, should have been 4. Also had 2 of the same painting cards and 1 missing, unable to tell if this was intentional.Clues easy to work out but no real structure to the game

We regularly do escape rooms in person, and have tried some of the board game ones. Wasn't sure what to expect as this one is active- you walk around your room and far exceeded our expectations. We are 4 people and completed it in 60 minutes. Anymore than 6 people and you would struggle for everyone to be included. Don't space the clues out too much but is good to have some space.You can't use the game a second time but for the value and how enjoyable it was would definitely recommend. We have got the rest in the set for Christmas.It's not suitable for children
