Sometimes a game with little story, but a concentration on puzzles is great, and this is a good example.
It is quite physical, but in a great way.

The finale is to compete against your teammates, I loved it.

So different to anything else in Barcelona as well as anywhere else we have played. For that alone, it is worth playing. Emphasis very much on physicality, which plays to my strengths but may put some others off. I would say that nothing is too troublesome, unlike Enterprise 4 as that I imagine could stump some groups. Competitive ending too. Embrace the fails.

Great room for a load of laughs. Lots of physical elements so bare that in mind when booking!

This game is absolutely brilliant, we had so much fun. Funny, unusual, some really clever parts to it. Like most of the reviews, don't want to say too much... but be prepared for a physical work out compared to most games. It's a little bit out of BCN but we found it easy to get to on the local train system and it is absolutely worth it. Didn't manage to play their newer game but v much hope to get back to do it at some point (apparently doable as a 2).

Abduction helpfully number their games, and so The Exam is Abduction 3; this does not mean that it’s a sequel or that you need to have played its predecessors, and it has nothing to do with an abduction. The premise is instead, very simply, a test of your physical and mental abilities.

I like narrative-based games; I love the immersion created when all elements have been designed to create a seamless story with you as the central character. But by dispensing with story altogether, The Exam reve...

Ich wittere hier Betrug im ganz großem Stiel ‼️ 🤨

Das was unser Modellathlet bei den physikalischen Tasks in den Sand gesetzt hat – ich erinnere daran, wie wir ihn aus dem Bällebad vorm ertrinken retten mussten – wollte er anschließend bei der mentalen Prüfung mit unlauteren Mitteln wieder wettmachen.
