Overall Thoughts
"Now that the Outbreak has spread, the streets are filled with the moaning, shuffling, flesh-hungry undead. Will you be able to solve the puzzles and find your way to the correct pick-up point, or will you end up as zombie food?"
This is another game in the Professor Puzzle "Quick-Fire Escape Series" with 4 main puzzles and a non linear structure your team work together to solve each puzzle or branch of to solve an individual puzzle each. The puzzles inside range from jigsaw-esque puzzles to brain busting logic.
As mentioned at the start this is beginner friendly but I'd say these puzzle are the hardest of the other professor puzzle boxes. Should you need a clue while playing the game a small hint envelope is enclosed in each of the puzzles.
One of the other puzzles had previously featured in Hallow Hall which is disappointing as it was just a reskin of the previous puzzle with the same answer. This isn't an issue if you are playing the game standalone, but if you're looking to play more professor puzzle games it may be a problem.
Each puzzle has you solving or decoding a message that clues as to where the exit is. You need the answer to all 4 of the puzzles to find the correct door, once solved there is an exit booklet with multiple doors, opening this will reveal whether you escaped or failed.
Although you can only play this game once you can reset the game to then give to others to play. This box has a mix of puzzles ranging from tactile in hand puzzles and brainteasers. Although playtime may only be 30-45 minutes as this is part of the quick fire escape series.
Good box for beginners, with well themed puzzles!
