Thames & Kosmos EXIT: Advent Calendar - The Silent Storm, Escape Room Card Game, Family Games for Game Night, Holiday Season Games for Adults and Kids, For 1+ Players, Ages 10+

Bought this for my sisters family, we are all massive escape room fans. We've done maybe 20 of the Kosmos EXIT games and when I saw this it just stood out as a perfect gift for them. Puzzles are really well balanced, taking between 10-20 mins each day, so enough to be interesting and worthwhile but short enough so you don't overload as you do one every single day. A very different advent calendar, gets the whole family involved and great fun. You don't need to have done any of the EXIT games before, if you have it has a very familiar feel.

Bought this as a family calendar to do together with my kids. Cannot fault it. You solve a clue to open the next door each day. Each day has a little part of a Christmas-themed story to read before opening the door. Behind each door is a little room with some cards or other clues. The clues involve the room or the cards or the box or any other materials. The calendar is really well made and the clues are fun and imaginative. Some are easier than others but they are all of appropriate level where they don't take too long but are enough to make you think. We have just finished day 18, and so far we had 2 days where we didn't quite get the whole clue and had to look at the cheat book, which gives you 2 hints then a solution. When you solve the riddle it gives you 2 solutions so that you can double check you've solved it correctly. It's a great excuse to find a few minutes to get together even if we've all had busy days and are home late. Will definitely buy one of their other calendars next year.

This is an amazing product - such imagination. We have really loved it. Really challenging, fun and inventive. Can’t wait to try another from these makers

99% of advent calendars are plastic tat or alcohol or chocolate (and I'm the big bad parent that doesn't allow chocolate at breakfast which is when advent calendars get opened). If you have a smart 10+ kid this is a brilliant alternative.... Or at least it was until the eye watering price hike this year. They've been releasing a new one of these for a couple of Christmases now and I promised last year that I would buy this year's release, so I kept my promise. I've not made the same promise this year because I will wait to see what the price for the 2024 calendar is before I decide.

Very cleverly put together and great fun. Lovely to work together as a family to solve the puzzles. Hints have 3 stages so you can have a little help without it being given away. Would get again.

We're only 4 days in but my fiancée and I are loving this. It is wonderfully designed, the artwork is lovely and the puzzles are tricky but not frustrating. I hope there will be another one available in 2025.

Really engaging and just enough per day on the run up to Christmas. Would definitely recommend

The Advent Calendar looks exciting, but was rendered useless due to a missing decoder: On raising this with the company, they are sending out a replacement and this is excellent customer service- thank you!
