Thames & Kosmos Exit Kids - Jungle of Riddles

Fun game for a 5-year old who loves puzzle solving!

My daughter loves this game so much. It has great puzzles and is just such a fun game to play - even for us! She often gets the puzzles faster than us, which is so cool to see - the clever little gal!Each little section has different kinds of puzzles to solve, which challenge your brain in different ways. My husband and I have played these types of games before, not from this brand, but similar, so we knew what to expect, but you really get your money's worth! You use every part of the game - box included - to solve the puzzles! I'm so glad this isn't a one time use game becasue I know my daughter - and most other kids - would be super upset about that!Great game to play on holidays or just for fun game nights with your kids! We love learning games that don't FEEL like learning games, and this is absolutely one of those! Our daughter begs to play!

I got this as a gift for my nieces and nephew ages 8, 6, and 4 and they all loved it! It can be used multiple times, unlike the adult level Exit games, so the kids don’t feel unattached. It’s also just the right amount of difficulty so with some adult help, they can complete it confidently!

My five year old is having so much fun with this. She loves the riddles. I love that this is not a one time use like the adult exit games, (although I’m still a huge fan of those too!) it’s so great that she can participate. It’s totally appropriate for my right year old as well. Which surprised me. I had assumed if they were easy enough for my five year old they’d be too baby for my pretty advanced eight year old, or they’d be good for the 8, and too hard for the 5. But they aren’t “hard” per se, you just have to spend some time solving them. Which is fun.You can technically play the whole game 6 times, as there are 6 different riddles PER category. (One game consists of 1 riddle from each category) how ever most of these can be played again and again beyond the 6, because they are aren’t the kind of riddles you know the answer to, because they are things you have to complete/do. For example one of them you have to wrap a string around a card in the right order and see what monsters are left uncovered. Enter those in the decoder wheel to find out if you did it right.Also amazing, none of the pieces get ruined like in the adult exit games, so you can play over and over or gift to someone else.My only complaint is that as you solve each riddle you get a picture of a key. And you choose a picture of a box, and you can flip over the box if you have a key. It has a picture of something as your pretend prize. There is no reason for the 6 keys you can just win a prize box. The whole thing with the keys and pictures just feels really lazy and lame. They could have come up something better than that with a little effort. With all the creativity I’ve seen in the game itself and all their exit games, It really seems like they forgot or realized they needed the riddles to rresult in something and someone just fast dumped that in. It’s really lame. My kids don’t even bother using them. Could have even given you a word or something. And once you collect all six you know reveal the secret or something. I mean I’m not creative and that is just my first thought coming to mind. This team certainly could have come up with something better.

Easy to learn. I did one play through with my child. Second play though she need help with one thing, after that she been playing all on her own. Great little game that encourages thinking.

I ordered all three Exit for Kids games for my granddaughter and I to play this summer. They are AMAZING!! She is 7 and we have had so much fun solving the riddles. I love the fact you can play it multiple times and get a different outcome. The puzzles are not as easy as you'd think, it takes a few minutes to really figure them out and I like that. Thank you for a great game, we are having so much fun with them.

We tried this game with our three kids ages 11, 9 and 6 because we love the regular Exit games. Knowing it would be a little young for the older two, we figured it would still be fun for them to help. Our 9 and 6 year old loved it, even though the puzzles were pretty easy to solve for them. We opened it on New Year’s Eve and they have played it 4 times already. Our 11 year old was more interested in helping to read the instructions and act as a guide. The theme is super cute and the pictures are great. The decoder is just like the regular Exit games which makes for a good transition and it is the same great quality as the regular games. I do think it would be best for ages 4-8 but depending on the child, older kids can still enjoy it. It’s nice to be able to replay it as much as they want.

As a school counselor, I am always looking for fun games to play with my students. They absolutely love this! I use it primarily with 2nd to 5th graders, and it's a major hit!

This game was great for my 6 and 9 year old. Maybe a little too easy for my 9 year old. A game doesnt last too long, but good fun. You can use it over, which i like.

Lots of fun for the kids and has replay value.

This was a great fun game for both my 6 and 8 year olds. It can be collaborative or can be played solo so is really versatile. Highly recommended

I have played loads of the adult Exit games so when I saw this for the kids I had to buy. We played this over halloween and the kids really liked it. The game is has a few different adventures so you can play multiple times. My only criticism would be its a little too easy. My kids are 5 and 7 and they found this really simple. Without any help at all it would've been more challenging, but you kind of have to read the rules to get them set up. Not sure I'd buy the same again unless they do one for a slight older age bracket.

a good game, makes you think and family friendly
