Overall Thoughts
Escape from Hallow Hall has you exploring an old creepy mansion, solving puzzles in an attempt to find an way out!
This is yet another great game to start your at home escape puzzle journey. There are 4 main puzzles in this game and they are non linear in structure so 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 decoding and maths.
As mentioned at the start this is beginner friendly but I'd certainly say the puzzles are similar difficulty to those in 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. The game also comes with a solutions envelope should you be really struggling.
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 solid mix of puzzles ranging from tactile in hand puzzles and brainteasers. Although playtime may only be 30-45 minutes.
As mentioned earlier - great box for beginners!
