Overall Thoughts
The EXIT box takes you on a journey through a medieval castle exploring a multitude of rooms and puzzles. This box was incredibly difficult to get started, taking myself and a friend over 50 minutes to get through only the first 2 puzzles. After we got started and figured out a new "key" mechanic built into the decoder wheel we managed to progress through the next 3 or 4 puzzles at lightning pace.
Although we could have gotten a significantly faster time with a help card we refrained and this led to the stagnation at the start of the game. Overall the puzzles are enjoyable and cover a multitude of puzzle types and a unique use of the decoder wheel.
This is a great box to get you started in the EXIT games if you can wrap your head around the first few puzzles.
