Kidnapped in Fortuned City (Exit the Game)
If you enjoy completing escape rooms or solving riddles, this is the game for you! This escape room in a box is complete with riddles, mysterious parts, a notebook, a map, and a decoder ring. With a difficulty level of three and a half out of five, this game is set in the crime-riddled town of Fortune City. When the sheriff goes missing while in hot pursuit of a gold robber, it becomes your job to solve the puzzles and chase down the criminal before they escape the town – and justice – forever.
Can you solve the riddles and stop the kidnapping before it's too late?
Criminal activity is rampant in the frontier town of Fortune City, and now the sheriff has disappeared without a trace. With precious little time to find him, players need to work together to solve the crime. Over the course of the game, your investigation will lead you through Fortune City, with clues and strange items to be found throughout. You will need to search for answers in the saloon, drugstore, gunsmith, post office, prison, and bank. But in a unique twist, you will decide the order in which you will visit these locations and who you will interrogate along the way. Together with your team, you will collect clues and evaluate the towns peoples' testimonies. But will you get the answers you need to rescue the sheriff in time?
In the style of Dead Man on the Orient Express and Theft on the Mississippi, players must get to the bottom of a kidnapping in the Wild West in addition to solving all the riddles.
Difficulty level: 3.5 of 5
Our family has long enjoyed playing co-operative games from Family Pastimes. We play competitive ones, too, but enjoy fostering team spirit as we all work toward achieving a goal. If you haven't tried this alternative to playing together, here's an assortment of some of our favorites from this company.
Escape rooms are a real treat. Being trapped in a mysterious room with your friends and family...knowing that anything around you could be a clue to a convoluted riddle...the pressure of the clock counting down...and driving back home with hours of discussion of what you could have done differently. Unfortunately, most of us don't get to do escape rooms very often. But if you enjoy the type of logic involved in escape rooms, you'll probably like these games which are also a fraction of the cost! Having done a real escape room, I can tell you that the puzzles in these games are just as complicated as the real thing, and as a bonus, don't require an app or batteries. All you need are a few pencils, paper pads, a timer, and a pair of scissors. In the game box, you'll find riddle cards, answer cards, help cards, a booklet, a decoder disk, and some "strange objects" which you'll use in puzzles later in the game. Like a typical escape room, your first move is to take a look around the "room" to find clues & riddle cards. The puzzles involved are an interesting mix of logic, leaps of logic, and activities. Word scrambles, dot-to-dots, magic eye pictures, word riddles, scraps of letters and numbers, chemical tables, etc. are just some of the various "pieces" of the head-scratching brain teasers you may encounter. When you think you have figured a riddle out, you can check your answer by entering it into the decoder disk; it will tell you if you were right, wrong, or maybe correct and move you along in the game. If you get stuck, you can always consult the help cards for clues. When you and your friends have solved the last puzzle, you're done! Check your score by seeing how long it took you and how many help cards you had to use. It's worth noting that each title is for one play only, since you will mark up, tear, fold, and cut the materials. Each scenario has a difficulty score from 1-5, easiest to hardest. Game times average 1-2 hours.
EXIT: The Game Level 3 is designed for ages 12 and up. Playtime is 1-2 hours. Games may only be played once as the cards will be marked up or folded/torn through the game.
