Very cool but can feel high pressure. They&amp;#8217;re great to do in a group, letting everybody work on different things. Doing it as a family is expensive!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Video games are a much cheaper way to capture this style really well: &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/400/Portal/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Portal&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.fireproofgames.com/games/the-room"&gt;The Room&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="https://escapeacademygame.com/en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Escape Academy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3 class="wp-block-heading"&gt;Board Game &amp;#8220;Escape Rooms&amp;#8221;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;These range in size and playtime. Some are more puzzley, some are more narrative-driven. But any of them can be a great family experience. And we have &lt;a href="https://www.thefamilygamers.com/tag/escape-room/" type="post_tag" id="770"&gt;reviewed a bunch of them&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; we&amp;#8217;ll talk about &lt;strong&gt;six&lt;/strong&gt; series here:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EXIT&lt;/strong&gt; series &amp;#8211; Fairly immersive, with a plot and setting that hangs together. Everything you need is in the box. Wide variety of puzzles to write on, manipulate, cut, etc. But comes with a downside &amp;#8211; that wide variety means you almost always run into a puzzle in the game that is not figure-out-able (for us). They come in a huge range of difficulty, including several that are &lt;a href="https://www.thefamilygamers.com/family-friendly-exit-boxes/" type="post" id="7720"&gt;appropriate to do with younger kids&lt;/a&gt; who are just barely reading. Unlike the other games in this list, we think they&amp;#8217;re best with &lt;strong&gt;more than 2 players&lt;/strong&gt;. There are also &lt;em&gt;EXIT Kids&lt;/em&gt; games now! (&lt;a href="https://www.thefamilygamers.com/tag/exit/" type="post_tag" id="441"&gt;Check out the EXIT games we&amp;#8217;ve reviewed.&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Unlock&lt;/strong&gt; series &amp;#8211; These require an app. Other than the app, completely card-based and re-settable to pass on to a friend to try. These &lt;strong&gt;also&lt;/strong&gt; have a juvenile line now &amp;#8211; &lt;em&gt;Unlock Kids&lt;/em&gt;. Our experience has been really uneven. Some really great (&lt;em&gt;Wizard of Oz&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Star Wars&lt;/em&gt;). Others are just really weird, with puzzles don&amp;#8217;t make sense. We generally recommend these, but use caution.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Holiday Hijinks&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; probably our favorite compact escape-room type game. Packs a ton of puzzles into 18 cards and a web app. Full of puns, trivia, and holiday cultural references. Still best for very small groups, since there&amp;#8217;s such a small space to work in. Family friendly, although younger kids will probably be frustrated that they don&amp;#8217;t have the trivia knowledge to contribute unless they&amp;#8217;re very knowledgeable about the holiday. (&lt;a href="https://www.thefamilygamers.com/tag/holiday-hijinks/" type="post_tag" id="879"&gt;Check out our reviews and interviews about Holiday Hijinks.&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Deckscape&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; feels like a &amp;#8220;choose your own adventure&amp;#8221; narrative. Mostly a deck of cards, but with a few accessories that made it more immersive. Puzzles could not be attempted more than once, which made the choices feel high-stakes. Best with 2-3 players, because you&amp;#8217;re only looking at a few cards at a time &amp;#8211; unless you&amp;#8217;re willing to take your time and pass them around the table. (We reviewed &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.thefamilygamers.com/deckscape-eldorado/" type="post" id="17256"&gt;Deckscape: The Mystery of El Dorado&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Backstories&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; not really an escape room, more of a narrative adventure. Work through decisions one at a time as a group. But not only re-settable, it&amp;#8217;s re&lt;strong&gt;play&lt;/strong&gt;able, with branching paths and different endings depending on the decisions made! Not exactly family-friendly. Lots of violence and some death. (&lt;a href="https://www.thefamilygamers.com/tag/backstories/" type="post_tag" id="1560"&gt;Check out our &lt;em&gt;Backstories&lt;/em&gt; reviews.&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Star Trek: Cryptic&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; as Trek fans we &lt;a href="https://www.thefamilygamers.com/star-trek-cryptic/" type="post" id="35600"&gt;really loved this one&lt;/a&gt;. Work through three different &amp;#8220;chapters&amp;#8221; in a Starfleet officer&amp;#8217;s life, with very thematic puzzles. Pretty much re-settable, but you&amp;#8217;ll get great value out of this one even if you only play it once &amp;#8211; it takes 3-4 hours to do the whole thing, split into several sessions.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Coded Chronicles&lt;/strong&gt; (we reviewed &lt;a href="https://www.thefamilygamers.com/scooby-doo-escape-from-the-haunted-mansion/" type="post" id="11446"&gt;Scooby Doo&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;a href="https://www.thefamilygamers.com/the-goonies-coded-chronicles/" type="post" id="23935"&gt;The Goonies&lt;/a&gt; games) &amp;#8211; also very narrative driven. But spreads out the responsibility to progress the narrative to all the players! There are multiple books to read in different character &amp;#8220;voices&amp;#8221;, even though the team is making decisions together. Also re-settable. Very family-friendly, even for kids who are unfamiliar with Scooby Doo or The Goonies.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2 class="wp-block-heading"&gt;0:42:00 New Backtalk Question&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;figure class="wp-block-image size-full"&gt;&lt;img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" width="700" height="350" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.thefamilygamers.com/wp-content/uploads/Backtalk_EscapeRooms.jpg?resize=700%2C350&amp;#038;ssl=1" alt="Backtalk: Escape Rooms" class="wp-image-61606" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.thefamilygamers.com/wp-content/uploads/Backtalk_EscapeRooms.jpg?w=700&amp;amp;ssl=1 700w, https://i0.wp.com/www.thefamilygamers.com/wp-content/uploads/Backtalk_EscapeRooms.jpg?resize=300%2C150&amp;amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt; &lt;p&gt;Have you ever done an in-person escape room?
