Review of Stolen IQ - 2 years ago
First off, the game itself is great, materials are well thought out and cutting the things out was actually fun an didn't really give anything away. My issue was that it was unclear what things were part of what challenge - we ended up effectively solving the 2nd and 3rd puzzle, and completely missed the 1st, so was totally stuck. If you ask for a clue, the first one is the cutouts, or basically what's related to the current puzzle - doing this first would make the whole experience infinitely better. I get that in a normal escape room you might roam around between different puzzles, but in this format it's pretty linear and doesn't lend itself to that same flow. If it weren't for this issue, it would easily be a 5 star for me.
Very good puzzles well coordinated with online videos. engaging for the entire family from ages 10 upwards. Very good puzzles well coordinated with online videos. engaging for the entire family from ages 10 upwards.
Enjoyed this first mission (print@home) immensely. It took my guys (hubby and three sons) almost 53 minutes to complete. A good time was had by all! I highly recommend this family activity.

The first two chapters were relatively easy. The last chapter took us for ever and we weren't able to finish it without a hint. The first two chapters were relatively easy. The last chapter took us for ever and we weren't able to finish it without a hint.
Family Christmas present - everyone enjoyed solving the puzzles together on Christmas day. But we couldn't understand the 7 hexagon jigsaw pieces solution.

The puzzles were fairly easy and we've expected more interactive content. In the final puzzle the cutout letters seemed unnecessary, as one could just write the letters in the placeholders.
