This was a really great game in the range, the best we've played yet out of the 4 we have. Love the mechanic, the way the game unfolds and the extra dimension to this one. The puzzles are slightly more challenging in this one whilst still being easy for families and there's a great range of them. We really enjoy the immersiveness of this, and doing the voices as you work through the story to figure out the mystery. Fab!

We playtested this room and supplied feedback for the owners before opening. Once ready this is going to be a fantastic little room. Small but very well formed, we played as a 3 which felt right size wise. Beautifully designed and cleverly themed with this venue's signature touch of humour, they have also packed a good amount and variety of puzzles into the space along with some very neat touches and new ideas which made for a lot of fun. Kept us busy, thinking, and entertained the whole time, and will be great for all ages and levels as can either be adapted for children, or extra challenge additional to the main game for the experts. Fab!

A really good fourth game from the Mystery Agency team. Super high quality components, a lovely mix of puzzles and tie in with a website, although would love to have had more web browsing and hunting to do. Got hung up on one puzzle but that was our fault for missing an important piece of info! Interesting immersive story and some brilliant nods to their other games and the characters lurking within. Loved it.

The sheer amount of work that had gone into this game should be applauded. You use all sorts of tech, sites, paper and physical objects to work your way through the story. Nice mixture of puzzles and tasks. We found some bits very frustrating (mostly the sheer amount of text chat, and the fact it scrolled on while you were reading, and also the fact that they keep saying they did the same things as you) and some puzzles just didn't make sense. But on the whole it was very good and great value for money, being 8 chapters of about an hour long.

What a nice surprise! Great quality components, lovely mix of card game, board game, murder mystery and puzzle game. Quite easy, as you are very led through the game but there are some nice little challenges and everything made sense. Similar to some of the exit games where some cards affect others and change the environment. Our first of this series and would happily try other the others!

Got stuck on the very first puzzle because there was a key piece of information missing from the box! Had to use a hint which made no sense because of the missing piece, then Google the game to find that it should be printed inside the box lid and the version we had did not have it (online seems to be a huge box with invitations to make it a party, we had a smaller than A5 box with just the room envelopes)! Had to use the image online to complete that puzzle. Puzzles ranged from so simple it took longer to open each "room" than to solve the puzzle, to ok. A couple of nice moments but really feel they could have made more of the rooms themselves that you open. Anyway a nice ending and quality materials but could have been so much better!

Thought this was one of the better exit games we've played. All the puzzles were fairly challenging and cleverly done. At one point we couldn't progress but turned out we'd not put in the answer to a puzzle so not the games fault! There were a couple of fab aha moments in this one and we didn't use any hints. 

Consists of 4 distinct puzzles... Spatial, maths, logic and codebreaking. First two were a pretty good difficulty level, third one slightly easier and last one we solved in seconds. But a nice presentation and quality materials and a nice way of ending the game and "escaping".

This is a wonderful little play at home pack with an online story and paper-based elements which help you solve the puzzles, the solutions to which are entered online. Brilliant story, quality elements, fun and humourous characters, simple but clever puzzles - made us think but we never got stuck or needed any hints. Logic, maps, codes and more. Would be brilliant for a family and also teaches a little history but not too much emphasis, all carefully blended into the story.  Really enjoyable! Can't wait to play their other one.
