Also included are many colored locks (you can see a bright green lock in the rightmost piece above), which are tied to the riddle booklets. The puzzles themselves are illustrations showing various scenes corresponding to your journey, but there are lots of little details-symbols, letters, icons, and so forth, which will be used as you solve the riddles. I can’t reveal the puzzles themselves, of course, but I can show you a few of the pieces. A few of the puzzle pieces have curious details on them. The backs of the puzzles have different patterns printed on them so you can separate them out if they get mixed up, though you shouldn’t open any of the bags until you’re instructed to do so. There are four different puzzles included in the game, each bagged separately. The different backs help you distinguish the four puzzles. Each has three symbols on it (except for one labeled “Map”) and the interiors have, well, various text and other things that you’ll discover as you play. The riddle documents (don’t peek inside!) are small, each a single folded sheet, and made to look like a leather-bound journal. Color-blind players may have some difficulty since the locks themselves are distinguishable only by color on the decoder disk, as you’ll see on the image later in the review.
#THE PUZZLE ESCAPE ROOM WINDOWS#
The decoder disk will need some assembly before you begin-it’s four pieces of cardstock with some windows in it, held together by a plastic snap fastener. The instructions say not to look at the “strange items” too carefully until they’re called for, so I won’t say much about them other than that the snake and the orange strip are made of cardstock.
Of course, like other cooperative mystery-solving games, you could include more players, though if it gets too crowded it can be hard for everyone to work on the riddles together, or some people may feel like they’re not getting to contribute as much. It retails for $24.95 and is expected to release in early May: you can sign up on the KOSMOS website to be notified when it is in stock. It’s intended for 1 to 4 players, ages 10 and up, and takes about 2 to 3 hours to play. What Is Exit: The Sacred Temple?Įxit: The Sacred Temple (apparently the official title is Exit: The Game + Puzzle – The Sacred Temple but that’s a mouthful) is an escape room game that incorporates jigsaw puzzles. Your archaeology professor has vanished-has he been kidnapped by treasure hunters? It’s up to you to follow the clues to puzzle out what happened.
