Thames & Kosmos EXIT: Advent Calendar - The Missing Hollywood Star, Escape Room Card Game, Family Games for Game Night, Holiday Season Games for Adults and Kids, for 1+ Players, Age 10+

I love these, I get a different one for my family every year and we love working out the puzzles together. Great bonding experience for the family and something different other than chocolate to look forward to. They are really well thought out, put together and detailed. The story element is always great. I would say don't buy this for one person or kids / teens to do alone. The puzzles and clues are harder then you think so it needs some adult input to work things out. Some questions we get really quickly, others we grt stumped on and my husband and I have to really put our heads together to reason it out. That's part of the fun though!! Working together. My son likes the easier doors and we'll always explain how we work things out. He's fitting good at escape room stuff now. He is also fully incharge of putting in the code to unlock the next room.So yeah - Great activity, do as a family (kids alone will struggle), for people who love a challenge and an amazing Christmas adventure to boot. Strongly recommend.

This is the second year that we’ve purchased one of these instead of a usual advent calendar. We enjoy the challenges each day. Great activity for a family! Especially one that enjoys cryptic challenges, the design of the product is just brilliant. Great value for money (I buy between 5 of us). Fantastic quality.

This was a really fun way to spend December. There were a range of types of puzzles, from spotting patterns to physical construction, and several of them made you relook at previous days from a different perspective. The story (based around wandering film sets) was engaging, and helped tie together the different puzzles. My only criticism is that some of the puzzles required you to read some very small text, but the hint book is well designed. Perhaps the best thing about it is that it always throws up new surprises. Kudos to the designers!

This was amazing!! Such incredible good way to do something with your kids. It definitely challenge you. I was doing it with my 8 and 10 year old. They struggled a bit but together we solved them all.We were looking forward to do this every day. It wasn’t easy and you had to think outside the box, but not too hard so you won’t make it.But if you do struggle, you can choose to do three clues. If you still don’t get it, you can easily find the answer.I’m buying the other one but not as an advent calendar, just for us to do on a rainy day:)Definitely worth every penny!!Thank you to the clever people making this. This was so much fun!!

This is a great fun family activity in the build up to Christmas, it encourages family time and thinking outside of the box. Brilliant for those of you who enjoy an escape room and lateral thinking.We’ve had one of these for the past three years and it is becoming a family tradition. Only downside is the cost, it isn’t the cheapest, but you do get hours of fun from it, so you need to weigh that up.

We love these escape room calendars and this latest version was up to the usual excellent standard. The puzzles are varied and set at just the right level. We look forward to doing it every day - highly recommended!

Well made, clever puzzles, good story, lots of fun!

Cleverly designed product with a fun theme and an impressive variety of puzzles. Great for a family or game-loving couple.
