EXIT: The Game - The Sinister Mansion

This EXIT adventure begins sat at home avoiding any further escape room shenanigans until you find a note from your neighbour and that's when things get weird... The sinister mansion has some of the most creative aha moments and reveals throughout the puzzles but this is balanced out by some very ambiguous puzzles with very little directional guidance to get you started. Although the puzzles are still completable it may take you a little longer than the usual EXIT games to figure out how to progress. This being said there is a large variety of puzzle types and difficulties that will really make you think outside of the box. As always with the EXIT games the use of every component is genius and makes the games so much more enjoyable. Great game but I'd recommend a different EXIT box if you're just starting out.

The Sinister Mansion was a fun game, though if you’ve played EXIT before, you probably know what to expect. 3-digit number puzzles and some destruction of materials. Despite the title, it’s not very sinister, but it certainly is a grand mansion. It’s not as nonlinear as it seems at first, but it still has some good “aha!” moments, especially towards the end.

The Exit Game delivers on many levels. 1) Range of Difficulties 2) inexpensive for a group 3) Take Home fun 4) well designed 5) high quality This stay at home option for obsessed escapists is definitely a great option. It’s a great option for large families (that suffer the burden for the entire rooms price). It also build in a scoring mechanism for time and hints that penalizes you so it keeps the escapists honest.
