The Escape Game: Escape from Iron Gate - The Puzzle Completing, Drawing, Acting and Trading Prison Break Party Game by Pressman, Multi Color

I bought this game for my college age son as a gift. The entire family of five (ages 20-55) landed up playing it and everyone landed up loving it. It was interesting, unique and just complicated enough to hold the attention of both the older and younger generation without it being overwhelming and tipping over into the annoying/bothersome realm or having it become a slog for any one player or even the whole group. For gamers, I would say this is like Ticket to Ride meets Clue. My entire family agreed the game had high replay value so it was a win that I picked a cool gift :-). I would totally recommend this as a gift to yourself or another.

This was a great game for my family. We have 2 teenagers and they both enjoyed it

I take this game to every group gathering and family event- definitely my favorite board game I’ve ever played. Takes a minute to figure out the rules but once you start it all makes sense. Good mix of activities, puzzles, luck, and strategy. I have played it with 5-10 year old kids (with lots of hands on help) as well as my 60 year old parents and everyone likes it, although some of the puzzles/riddles are reallyyyyy tricky. I think that makes it fun though. I’ve played it probably 10 times now and I have a different experience every time. Definitely a great buy.

Game is pretty fun. Easy to pick up. Usually takes a game for my friends to understand the premise. Only problem is the replayability. The puzzle cards are a one time deal. Once you know the answer, there’s no forgetting it.

I bought and played a few rounds of this game with my nieces, aged 7 and 9, and my mom. We all enjoyed it, and after an initial round of learning, and allowing the youngest to always choose action cards instead of puzzle cards (some are really hard, but some are quite easy).We all had a blast and the two kids enjoyed it and it kept them occupied until the end. We also modified the rules to allow them to finish the game after the first person escaped.Shuffling the cards is necessary, and it would be a great idea to buy a small pack of rubber bands to hold the cards together since there are so many, also maybe start with half the action and puzzle cards since the stacks are so tall.

We first came across this wonderful game at an air bnb, I sat out to watch the baby and all I hear from the table is the players yelling “books I got books” and others “anyone got a tooth brush, tooth brush?” the family had such a blast we had to find where we could purchase it for ourselves!It has Pictionary, acting, puzzles, riddles, and a little bit of hustling to break out!We showed my brother in law and sister in law who we play games A LOT with and they thought it was amazing! It is now going to be bought for each family house hold for Christmas! (We love phase 10 which is at everyone’s house so this is our next immediate game for game night/day)

This game is excellent! It is like to doing a new escape room every time you play! We actually paired up to have more players both times we have played it. Everyone enjoyed themselves!

It was fun once we figured out how to play! It was a complicated game!
