EXIT: The Game - The Haunted Roller Coaster

Ok. I found Exit games one day when I was looking for an escape room in a box. Wanted something fun but not something that would take hours.So far every Exit game has been super fun! Some frustrate us but usually only for a few minutes - which is its goal. Whenever we play and get stuck I say "I hate this game" and am told "you love this game" "I do." It's super fun and we've been getting through doing all the versions.It's so fun. They take roughly an hour which is nice BUT sometimes we start it late and go to bed, finishing the next day. It's just as fun that way. We don't use a timer as suggested, but that's us. We just enjoy the puzzle aspect.Buy. This. Game.

I buy these games two at a time. I keep one for myself and mail one to my daughter in another state. We play over FaceTime and the design of these games allows us to interact and spend fun evenings together.Haunted roller coaster was fun. It had some tricky puzzles in it, and was just challenging enough for a beginner game. We have played some of the intermediate games already and still found this one acceptably challenging.You literally have to think outside the box when playing these games. The developers have done an excellent job making this challenging enough to keep you interested, but not so hard as to frustrate you. The HELP cards are great since you can start out with a small hint, then choose a greater hint if needed, and then look at the actual solution if you have given up. Sometimes we would look at the first Help card just to make sure we had all the pieces we needed to solve the riddle. We rarely ever had to use the second or third HELP cards in this game.

This is a really fun game. We love games and we had a lot of fun with this one.

The Good: - Puzzles are well thought out (for the most part), and varied - Excellent design and artwork - Just the right difficulty for the group (adults)The Bad: - Unlike the rest of the game, one of the puzzles requires a massive leap of intuition - It's a disposable game, that said it's understandable why the manufacturer went with this business modelThe Ugly: - They desperately need to find a way for a group of players to see what's in the booklet at the same time. I ended up scanning the booklet and casting the images to our living room TV so that everyone had a chance to view some of the puzzles. There's simply no good way that four people can share the experience of looking at these small pictures together. I would highly recommend the manufacturer incorporate some of this material into their app to solve the problem. It's the only failing of this otherwise enjoyable game.

I bought their Christmas advent calendar, so I got a couple of the single escape games to try them out and get a feel for what to expect. Everyone is different so some will find it hard and some will find it easy. For us, it felt like a great middle ground. Not super easy that we blew through it, but not too hard that we struggled or gave up. The theme was cute, I enjoyed all the pieces and how much of a VARIETY the puzzles were! It created a lot of conversation between us and brain storming on what to do. It took us 71 minutes and we used two help cards when we got stuck. The “mysterious stranger” was probably my favorite part lol. I am intimidated to try the harder versions as this was tricky, but overall it was a really fun date night activity and I’m looking forward to trying more.

I LOVE these games! Great fun to play with a small group (4 people is almost too many). A lot of fun and cheaper than going to an actual escape room. The ratings on level of difficulty have been accurate to a tee.

We've done a few of the exit games and this was the first one we solved without any help. It had very satisfying riddles that we really enjoyed. Some of the cutting was very particular to get the right answer. The game leaves you with a small card game at the end to keep so younger family members could get some more play time after the main puzzle is finished. All in all it was a good game that took me (35 F) and my partner (32 M) about an hour to solve.

This was great for a family game night. Our family of four (2 teenage girls) solved it in about 90 minutes. The puzzles were challenging but not impossible.The clues are helpful if you get stuck. My only complaint - the first clue is always really obvious.Overall, highly recommend! The cost is significantly less than escape rooms while the puzzles are just as challenging and you get to do it in the comfort of your home.

This was the first EXIT game we have played. We wanted something that was a little less challenging for the first game, that would introduce us to the mechanics of the game. I have to say, I really wasn't expecting too much to be honest. It was a small box, and it didn't seem to have much inside.I played this with my wife and daughter (she's 21) and I think we all had a pretty good time. The puzzles were creative and fun. I wouldn't say this is for very young kids. The content is fine, but the puzzles could be a little tricky. I would guess 12 and up to get the most out of it?There definitely is no replaying this game. You will have pretty much destroyed it by the end. But that's as intended. Make sure you are committed to playing it all the way through when you start.Timewise, it took us an hour.

The way game makes our brain work was superb

Exit is my favourite board game and have played a lot of them. This one, even though it's difficulty is 2/5, it's actually harder than expected.Great game.

Está muy bien el juego.Cogí el nivel más bajo para jugar con mis alumnos, pero la verdad es que es un poco complicado ...menos mal que había jugado yo sola antes y mirado las respuestas...jajaja

Wasn’t sure what to expect, escape rooms can sometimes be pretty challenging so this was a new challenge. Game is pretty fun, some “rooms” are more challenging than the others but the game does provide clues and answers if needed
