Fun game!
I played this game with a group of homeschooling moms for a moms' night out. We loved it. Each person can only play the game once because there aren't multiple solutions, but we're anxious to pass it around to our families and let our older children and husbands play.

Why did you choose this?
we played the first one, stargazers manor, and really enjoyed it!
I already purchased Escape the Room: Stargazer's Manor from ThinkFun and loved it. We tried others after that one, and the weren't as good. I wise ThinkFun had more Escape Room games...they are the best!
Birthday Party
My kids and I played the other Thnkfun Escape the Room game and it was so much fun, due to the fact the game was well put together. I hope this company makes more of these games!
