Overall Thoughts
The Abandoned cabin was the 3rd of my EXIT escapades, in terms of story it would have made sense to start with this and lead into "The Return to the Abandoned Cabin" but i didn't know the games were linked.
Now having figured out how to correctly use the solution wheel, puzzle cards and hints it meant we were off to a prompt start. The companion app again adding to the atmosphere.
Although this box was not a 3D room like I had hoped we did have a good visual representation of the building and layout in the accompanying book and further rooms and details revealed through the cards. Without spoiling anything EXITS use of all of the components provided is great and fills the game with aha moments.
There was a large variety of puzzle types in this box some easier than others. And having access to the full riddle book at the start meant the game ran in a non-linear manner and the team could work on separate puzzles.
