The Morrison Game Factory
PostCurious
Escape room
Tabletop
The Morrison Game Factory is a triumph. Brimming with nostalgia and bags of heart, the charming story is unexpectedly moving and ‘the feels’ linger long after the final credits. The puzzles are fun, varied and perfectly woven into the narrative. Achieving such high production value at an excellent retail price is a real credit to the team; there is no question that it is fantastic value for money. I’m excited to see what Lauren Bello dreams up next and can only hope that this isn’t her last PostCurious collaboration. I cannot recommend this game highly enough and I am labelling it a Must Play.

Box One By Neil Patrick Harris
Theory11 Online
Escape room
Tabletop
I wish I could un-know what I know so that I could play this game again for the first time. It was such a thrilling experience – to find out why you will really have to play it yourself! If you can bring yourself to part with the box, then it is perfectly possible to regift this game once you have finished it. In fact, I am sure you will want to so that others can experience it for themselves (and then you can talk about it with them). I can’t stress enough how much you will appreciate keeping this experience spoiler-free, so I’d suggest getting your hands on a copy sooner rather than later!

The Curious Elevator of Mr. Hincks
Bluefish Games
Escape room
Tabletop
The Curious Elevator of Mr. Hincks is a joy to play. The clever mix of beautifully crafted physical game components and the quirky online Elevator creates a unique experience that offers bags of fun and charm. Past and current residents of Hincksville will find themselves right at home, while new residents will fall in love with the brilliant puzzles and inventive wordplay. If you haven’t already, I would highly recommend checking out The Hincksville Gazette as well- you will not be disappointed! It’s available as either a subscription or a deluxe box set including all issues. Full review available here: https://escapepuzzler.com/the-curious-elevator-of-mr-hincks-bluefish-games-review/
Hallows Hill
Wolf Escape Games-Online
Escape room

Hallows Hill is a thrilling cinematic masterpiece that raises the bar for online escape room experiences. High production quality increases the immersion through striking visuals, great voice acting, meticulous sound effects and a chilling score. Paired with its gripping story and clever puzzles, this makes for a nerve-wracking 90+ minutes. This game is perfect for Halloween or a dark winter night. If you haven’t played it already, what are you waiting for? Read the full review here: https://escapepuzzler.com/hallows-hill-wolf-escape-games-review/
The Medieval Mishap
History Mysteries [prev. Mini Mysteries Club]
Escape room
Tabletop
The Medieval Mishap is a stellar addition to the History Mysteries catalogue, stepping up the challenge while providing a new slice of history to explore. The lovingly crafted game components will transport you back to medieval times in an instant and you won’t want to leave. A fresh and engaging shift in gameplay breathes new life into the series, which offers a compelling adventure with fun puzzles, hilarious characters and an interactive history lesson that has no chance of putting you to sleep. While The Medieval Mishap is set within the same universe, it is completely standalone and can be played with no prior knowledge of other History Mysteries games. If you haven’t played The Egyptian Enigma, I highly recommend checking it out. I cannot wait to see what is in store next for the agents at the Ministry of Time.

Shinobi: The Ninja Scroll
Escape Mail [prev. Mobile Escape]
Escape room
Tabletop
Shinobi: The Ninja Scroll is a refreshingly original take on a puzzle game experience with its scroll-based gameplay. The intricate design, fun ninja-themed puzzles and Japanese-inspired artwork coalesce into a work of art. Paired with the simple but effective online portal, a wonderful score and engaging videos, there is so much to love about this game. Shinobi also solves one of the biggest problems I have with some boxed puzzle experiences by making the central component a beautiful keepsake that has a function beyond the game. It’s a family-friendly adventure that is perfect for date night, game night or a solo session and would make a very welcome gift for that puzzle game lover in your life. With 2-3 hours of gameplay, an affordable price point and the ability to pass it on to someone once you’ve completed it, it feels like a no-brainer.

Sherlock Holmes: Phantom’s Hour is a masterclass in immersive cinematic storytelling. Its thrilling gameplay is heightened through breathtaking visuals, expert sound design and a rousing score. This must-play adventure perfectly captures the essence of a Sherlock story, complete with captivating twists and turns. Well-written, wonderfully acted and filled with a variety of well-themed puzzles. Every aspect of the game is impressively crafted and left me wanting more. With a dramatic conclusion that hints at more Sherlock adventures to come, Wolf Escapes literally cannot release the next game fast enough!
