You are crew members on a passenger plane bound for Barbados. You have flown this route countless times already. Of course, you have experienced everything possible (and impossible) on these flights: technical malfunctions, turbulence, tour groups who are also flying to Hamburg, Berlin, London, or Amsterdam in order to visit so-called “escape rooms” there … But what’s waitin…

Exit: The Game - The Stormy Flight

Kosmos series of Exit games offer a ‘escape room’ experience in a box. Of course there isn’t the same physical experience of an actual escape room, but through clever use of cards and puzzles they manage to capture some of that special magic.

Any game that makes you feel clever is always a winner, and Exit does just this. But don’t be thinking it’s an easy feeling. The puzzles, while logical, do take some thinking about and there are some absolute stand out moments in a number of the boxes.

Exit’s system utilises a few decks of cards, and a clever dial that serves to direct you forwards. Puzzles will reveal a code which when spun into the dial reveals a number. You search the solution deck for this number and this card tells you whether you were correct or not. How it works is a mystery!

There are clue cards at three levels if you find yourself stuck and it all works together really well. Each game is themed around some sort of mystery that usually involves an escape of some sort. They can be done solo but are better experienced as a group of up to four people.

We don’t want to spoil to much but it should be noted that in the process of playing Exit: The Game you will be permanently altering the components so this is not a game you can play more than once.

As a crew member of a commercial flight to Barbados you are use to a bit of turbulence. However today’s storm is the worst you have ever seen. Race to repair the plane and get this flight back on course!

The Stormy Flight

Escape Rooms have become incredibly popular in recent years. Many venues across the UK offering varying themes and difficulties, with the aim of testing your knowledge, deduction, wit and determination all while being under the pressure of a timer. I have done a few escape rooms and they really do offer you a sense of enjoyment you will have never felt before doing one of these rooms.

My one criticism with these rooms however is the price. A group of 4 people can quickly add up and with the pandemic making it increasingly difficult to safely take part in these sort of escape rooms, you may find yourself looking for alternatives. This is where Kosmos Games step up to the plate with their offering of an escape room in a box! Exit: The Game is a series of small box games which each house a unique “escape room” experience for you to play at home. With the inclusion of app integration, you can have a very good experience with these games, and I am a real fan of the ones I have played thus far. In this review, however, we will focus on one of the latest additions to the series; The Stormy Flight.

Setup

If you have played Exit games before, then the materials included with the Stormy Flight will be very familiar to you, with the unique code wheel, booklet and various off cardboard pieces that will aid you in your escape. Of course, I won’t divulge any more information at risk of mentioning any spoilers, but be prepared to use everything in that box. Anything and everything could be a clue to assist in your escape! If you have a smartphone, the app makes it really easy for you to get started, with commentary and videos detailing set-up and a built-in timer for reference so I highly recommend downloading this before embarking on your escape adventure!

Thoughts

In terms of the story itself and the experience, The Stormy Flight was one of my favourites! It had a good mix of basic puzzles, advanced puzzles and ones that are slightly obscure and really make you think, but not so difficult that you end up using a stack of clues. Of course, clues are available to help you and some previous games, I have had to use many of them which impacts your score at the end. Sometimes the puzzles are so obscure that you lose some enjoyment however with The Stormy Flight, I didn’t come across this, but then this is due in part to the difficulty being 2 out of 5. I’ve found the difficulty rating to be fairly accurate with all the games however this is an ideal starting place as it offers a good challenge while not being too easy.

Overall, we had a fantastic experience with this Exit game. As mentioned, this is by far one of my favourites. Some of the puzzles are really unique, meaning you won’t feel as if it’s just another Exit game with a re-skin. All of the Exit games are fantastic and if you are looking for something to keep you entertained for an hour, instead of going to an actual escape room, then this will be perfect for you! Just remember though, as with any of the Exit games, once you’ve played it, you won’t be able to play it again, due to the nature of the materials used and how you have to use them to complete the puzzles.
