Escape Room in a Box - Walking Dead Board Game

I want to say this game was fun, but an important piece that you apparently get later was completely missing. We spent so long trying to figure out the puzzles without it (which we got a couple), but we couldn’t complete the game because it was required for all the last puzzles. Very disappointed. We looked EVERYWHERE and through all the trash, nothing. Pretty bummed out I wasted my money on this game now.

That camera is too small. A bunch of 40-50 year olds struggled to enjoy the game because the fonts, colors and images were so terribly hard to see and read. Even the teens struggled especially with that camera. Oh that camera! Could you make it any smaller?! Family had fun but also very frustrated and gave up.

Four adults - had severe difficulty viewing small pictures, ended up pulling out extra magnification. We only used two hints but neither were especially helpful. Part of our key -broke- and we had to bring in extra tools to complete. That said, we did enjoy the range of puzzles, and it was a fun, if frustrating, way to spend an evening.

We just played this as a family tonight, 2 adults and 2 kids. We didn’t beat the box in the time limit but it was very fun either way. You’ve got to be pretty creative to understand the clues. Also… if you put a certain component into an item the wrong way, you can’t see the clues. We wasted 30 minutes trying to see tiny pictures XD. Anyway, I would highly recommend this game for those up to the challenge. READ THE CLUES CAREFULLY!!!! Good luck!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although I originally chose this game for a game night at Grammie’s because my Mom is obsessed with the Walking Dead, unfortunately because of Covid we haven’t been able to visit yet. Escape rooms seem so fun & I can’t wait to experience one in person but for now a board game will have to do. We had 3 teenagers, 2 adults and 2 younger kids who played & we genuinely enjoyed ourselves!! Each of the younger girls paired up with someone older while we figured out the game. We played a couple games the 1st night & really enjoyed ourselves. Since then, the Walking Dead Escape Room game has been the Go To Game for Rainy days & whenever the teenagers get bored!! I would recommend this game for family game nights with your kids/grandkids!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is too tricky for kids, the age is 13+ but it was a lot of fun for my husband and I to have game night with another couple.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids and I love the show Walking Dead and doing Escape rooms! This combines both all in one. So much fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This game was too difficult for 3 adults to figure out, so I can't imagine how hard it would be for children. There were really no instructions as to what you are actually supposed to do after solving the puzzles. The puzzles were numbered, ostensibly to know what order to complete them in, but there was very little instruction other than that. It also seems like something you would only be able to play once, because then you would have it all figured out. I wouldn't actually know for sure though, because the 3 adults who played it got bored and/or frustrated after maybe 20 minutes and didn't finish. I like the idea of an escape room game, and being Walking Dead themed, but unless our game was somehow missing something that explained a little better what you are even supposed to do, this is not a game I would recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I played this game with my husband and son. This is the second escape room in a box game we have played together and we loved this one just as much as the first! Some puzzles we breezed through and some stumped us and we had to use the hints booklet. I highly recommend these games for anyone who loves solving puzzles. I will get every single game like this they come out with!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This game was so awesome. We had family game night and we played it together with our kids. The puzzles were challenging but not to hard. We had a great time together. The instructions were a little confusing and took a little bit for us to get. But we finally figured it out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you like puzzle solving games this is a great game for you! I have never done a break out game before, but the challenging puzzles were so fun! Grab a group of friends and this game and break out!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family loves escape rooms and The Walking Dead. We have done a few live rooms as well as lots of boxed experiences. We really enjoyed playing this one. The unique materials made it a more immersive experience for us. Highly recommended for escape room lovers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family had so much fun with this game. There is so much detail and thought put into every piece. We have never watched the show, but it didn't matter. The game itself was not as scary as the box looks. There is such a variety of puzzles and clues that everyone was able to find something to do. I highly recommend this for a fun night in!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This game is sooo fun and the box is designed very nicely, will purchase again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this to try for me, my husband and two kids! It was fun for all of us playing the game!

We were okay with this until we truly got stumped and the hint book does nothing for you. There should be an answer key like the other game flashback had. We couldn’t even finish the game because of this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really wanted to like this game. It seems on a different level than other "Escape Room In a Box" games as it contains actual physical objects that you manipulate. However, the components are cheaply made and do not actually withstand the handling that you are supposed to do with them. We had one plastic component that broke, rendering the game unfinishable. The game is good at providing several puzzles at once that you can split up among your group. Most puzzles made since, and we were able to complete them without any hints. One puzzle we still could not figure out even after using the provided hints. We knew how to solve it, but the component required did not fit quite right to provide us a solution. We got an answer that worked, but have no idea how we were supposed to come up with it "correctly". This game requires looking and reading some VERY tiny fonts and pictures. In fact, the entire second half of the game will require someone with excellent eyesight. We ended up getting so frustrated that we could not read the clues that we needed that we quit before reaching the end.
