IDEAL | Race to Escape: The 3D replayable Escape Room board game Age 6+! | Family Games | For 1-6 Players | Ages 8+

We had the original version of this game many years ago and played it many times.I was delighted to find the new updated version.The character cards, colour of the board and props are different colours but the game is unchanged.There was one portrait card missing but I emailed the company and they posted it immediately to me.It's an very entertaining and engaging game which we love to play and has been very much enjoyed by all age groupsSlightly fiddly to set up but well worth itYou can play with a strategically or keep it simple for younger playersGreat fun!!

Very entertaining game with easy set-up. Game takes about 30 minutes to an hour to play. Good value for money.

The game is great and always has been (had the original version years ago). This recreates the gameplay faithfully but good luck building the board without breaking the components. The plastic is flimsy to say the least, and there are several parts where you need to clip a hinge joint together which usually results in reaching for the glue. There were 3 of us building and after the first snap we were literally as careful as we could be and it made no difference. Additionally, the chandelier broke in about 3 places during assembly and one of them wasn't even on a part that was being built. Given that this is supposed to be dropped onto the board several times during a game, it's more of a time bomb than a chandelier because I can't see it taking the repeated impacts for very long even if it stays in one piece during building.Add to that the fact that the cards that are supposed to fit in the portrait have to be squeezed in so that they're too tight to move around during the gameplay (a required part of the game) without pulling the back wall up and off the board (if you brace the wall and the portrait holder that they sit in then you have a fighting chance) and the fact that the components don't fit back in the box without having to unbuild the whole of the back wall section (unlike the original game) and there is a lot of faff here that puts a downer on an otherwise great game. You'd be best off looking for the original somewhere else because to say Ideal have biffed it in the construction would be understating it. Even more of a shame considering they've nailed it with some of the other games that they've reprinted.

This was quite different to anything we’ve played before. Rather than competing against each other, we were all on the same team racing against the allocated time. This was particularly useful for the younger players within our family who are too young to play games by themselves. The older players could give pointers and help them solve part of the challenge.Essentially you are working together to find a person on the map. Not in the same way as you would in Where’s Wally, but you are looking to identify a building or theme park ride where Finley could be hiding. The cards allow you to eliminate parts of the map and plot Finley’s previous movements until there is only one possible outcome.

We played this game with just adults to start with and this wasn’t an easy game!Unless we made more difficult for ourselves ?

Great value for money and prompt delivery service

The game is really fun to play and easy to learn, however the components are a terrible, all the plastic is very brittle, luckily I knew about this from other reviews, so before clipping in some of the parts I soaked them in hot water, so the parts wouldn't snap when I put them together. it really is very cheaply made. one of the parts was broken upon unboxing, but it wasn't essential to the operations game. You can tell a lot of corners were cut when reproducing this game. The Assembly instructions are also pretty difficult to follow, but fortunately, I had a 13-year-old with me, who happens to know everything, so it was okay.

Unlike any other game I've played this is a game where you are all on the same side - and it's fun!I play it with my 13yr old daughter who's a theme park fanatic and it's a light hearted non competative game. The challenge is to complete it in the time limit. Not always easy!
