Game Review: Exit: The Game: The Professor's Last Riddle by Kosmos

Exit: The Game: The Professor's Last Riddle designed by Inka and Marcus Brand and published by Kosmos

Your favorite professor, an archeologist, is dead. He has left a mysterious envelope filled with post cards instead of a will. The cards have some clues that lead on a world-spanning treasure hunt to discover the professor's greatest legacy. The storyline is rather minimal but the game play uses all sorts of maps and tricks to keep players on their toes as they follow the clues. 

Like most Exit games, this one uses just about every component and part of the box in the puzzles. The decoder ring has numbers with colors and it seemed like a high portion of the solutions used the colors instead of the numbers. Not the majority, but a good amount. Some of the discoveries were enjoyable, clever moments, especially the subway solution and the crossword problem toward the end of the game. Occasional symbol-matching was a bit of a stretch--we used hints once or twice. We liked this set a lot and had a fun time solving the riddles and getting to the finale of the story which had more emotional resonance than we were expecting.

Recommended, highly for escape room fans.
