Armchair Escapist: Dragon Egg Quest

Had a great time following the clues and hunting the eggs with the kids on a day off. The use of email was clever, they really thought we were talking to a wizard. 

My kid loves dragons and when I saw this on one of the Facebook puzzle groups, I bought and tucked it away for a bad weather day. That day came this past weekend when he had a pal over and they needed to burn some energy. They're a little young for this game (8 year olds), so I had to help with some of the harder puzzles like relating names of countries to country-related puns. They had a blast and the whole thing didn't take a lot of setup on my part. Inspired by this game, the kids spent the rest of the afternoon building their own puzzles for each other and left me alone. As a parent, let me tell you, that's absolute gold.

A wonderful Introduction to puzzle games for our 7 and 9 year old. The puzzles were varied and smart and really gave us all a sense of achievement on completion. We enjoyed the game so much that we bought a gift copy for two of our friends and families! Highly recommend this to anyone who fancies a family challenge and something different.

Run this Quest yesterday outside for a socially distanced birthday party. It was for six, intelligent teenage girls who initially were typically sceptical. By the first puzzle they were hooked and they absolutely loved it. In fact the only criticism they had was that they wanted one more 'round' of clues.  It was definitely the hit of the afternoon!

The fact that you can tailor it to your setting was the absolute clincher as it allowed me to use the house and garden as puzzle locations and ensure that we ran the whole thing safely.

So, in summary, great home escape room that I would definitely recommend.
