EXIT: The Game - The Magical Academy

These escape rooms can only be used once, but they are good. It the closest thing to a real one. Unlock and others are good, but the one time use allows you to get more creative. I’d say more, but don’t want to ruin it for you.

My son loved it!

We purchased this for our grandson who is 12. We spent the afternoon going through the escape room activity and just loved it. I highly recommend if you want to give an interactive family experience versus a material gift.

This is our 3rd or 4th game purchased. They're fun and we'll worth the money. Some of the puzzles are easy and you'll over think it while some may require more patience. This was purchased for my 10yr old. She's not a "puzzle person" so my wife and I will finish it. Definitely fun if you like these things and be sure to keep everything by where you're playing .... the box, instructions, everything.

You really can’t go wrong with the exit games. They are challenging and fun! Makes for a great date night!

My wife and I absolutely love the EXIT board games. It’s not as immersive as an actual escape room, but the puzzles are just as good as one. It is definitely worth the cost.

We've done over a dozen of these, and this was a difficult level 2. It took two middle-age couples just under 2 hours, and we've completed some level 3s in that amount of time. There were puzzles where we were doing the right thing but weren't getting the correct result (the first puzzle, in particular). If this is your first experience with the Exit series, I would recommend starting with House of Riddles, Mysterious Museum, or Sunken Treasure before diving into this one. As always, parts of this game will be destroyed, eliminating the possibility of sharing it with others when you're done. However, it's the hands-on experience that makes these games enjoyable for us.

Exit games are some of the best escape-room-in-a-box game out there. The game mechanics take a little bit of getting used to the first time you play but every box has a same mechanics of how to verify each answer so once you do it once you’re good to go. The puzzles are incredibly clever and no other game makes you think outside the box quite as much as this brand. This one is no different - a solid and enjoyable game. Make sure to look at the level of difficulty on the box. The puzzles are slightly easier and the way forward a bit more clear for fewer stars.
