We had a fun evening figuring this out, but it was tough. We have done a number of escape rooms so that helped us know how to think (although there are clues on offer—which we didn’t use so I can’t comment on that.). There were 4 of us working on it and we did it in an hour, but I was glad to have a chess/logic powerhouse helping us! Everyone contributed. It was 2 adults and 2 older teens. I wouldn’t recommend it for 13 and under as it was too tough, but for our family it was a great night in!

I was given this for my birthday and was utterly delighted with it. The puzzles are just the right level of challenging to give a good brain workout, and a sense of achievement on solving, without creating too much frustration. And everything is beautifully designed and a joy to look at, touch and use.
Although the recommended age is for teens and up, my husband and I solved this with our 10 year old daughter who also absolutely loved it and was able to make very valuable contributions to the team effort. She is a puzzle lover and we’ve played Escape Room games with her before, so the idea wasn’t totally new to her, but I hope people with similarly aged and experienced children won’t be put off by the recommended age, at least for this particular mystery – I can’t comment on how suitable the others might be.
