quite difficult
Having played & loved a few other card based games (unlock & deckscape), I had high expectations of this one. And whilst it was a good experience overall, I couldn’t help but think it was a bit hard for a 3.5/5 difficulty. A few of the clues went straight over my head as they weren’t worded very well, and if you’re colourblind I wouldn’t pick this one as it was very colour based. Overall I’d give it a 5/10.

See the review of Exit's Abandoned Cabin game for more information on the base game mechanism - Secret Lab follows the same structure very closely. There is again a code wheel, a leaflet of clues, and a deck of cards for Puzzles, Answers and Hints.

A review of two experiences from Escape Prod – Blacksad, the detective cat escape room, and Manneken Pis, a city treasure hunt with escape room elements.
Wen der gefühlte hohe Preispunkt* von Escape Room – Das Spiel vielleicht bisher abgeschreckt hat es zu kaufen, für den stellt Exit – Das Spiel eine zunächst günstige Alternative dar. Wir waren gespannt inwieweit Exit – Das Spiel das Flair eines realen Escape Games verbreitet.
Exit can be played by up to 6 players but we played The Secret Lab with two of us. This worked well and I would suggest a maximum of of four players, so no-one feels left out and everyone gets a chance to see the book.
We found the game very enjoyable.
Creative, fun, and inclusive enough for our group of three players to all feel engaged!
