EXIT Advent Calendar: The Mystery of the Ice Cave

 

Exit: Advent Calendar - Day Six

Really been enjoying this so far - very very easy Day One led into some slightly harder other days but a torch and inspiration to decipher the occasionally obscure puzzle cards has led us through so far.

What I'm particularly impressed with at this point is the variety of puzzles and things to do - the story is no great shakes and the puzzles are not really immersive (if you are trapped in a cave how would you get outside to check out some rocks I'm looking at you Day Five) but so far I've cut stuff, folded stuff, stuck pegs in, stuck a pin and spun and searched with my torch in a small box.

It's only Day Six! Gosh. Do they keep this pace up? I might return on Day Twelve to update....

Exit: Advent Calendar - Day Twelve

On Day Six I posted that I’d been enjoying this and I would be back today…very pleased to announce it hasn’t fumbled any day since then. Embrace the destruction, think outside - and even Inside!!!! - the box and it’s a perfectly weighted snack of puzzling with variety to die for.

If I had any criticism it is that the storyline is slight, light and trite (sorry) but here’s the thing - everything you need is in this box. Nothing online. If someone made something similar for a whole year then I think I’d never buy another product…

EXIT Advent Calendar - what a blast from start to finish, perfectly weighted puzzles for me, a good mix of head scratchers and nibbles, pleasurable activities and real stumpers. Story just a loose framework for the puzzling but totally worth the money….oh and the destruction involved….
