Exit: The Game – The Return to the Abandoned Cabin review

This "Exit: The Game" experience, *The Return to the Abandoned Cabin,* felt like a homecoming of sorts. Having played the original *The Abandoned Cabin*, I was eager to dive back into the sinister world of Dr. Funbeq. This sequel definitely delivered on that promise, with a fresh set of puzzles and an engaging story that kept me hooked from start to finish.

The puzzles were truly challenging, with a good blend of creativity and logic. There were times when I felt completely stumped, but the satisfaction of finally cracking a code was incredibly rewarding. I appreciate that the game didn't rely on guesswork, with all the necessary clues readily available if you pay close attention. The difficulty level was definitely accurate, and I wouldn't recommend this for first-timers. My group and I spent over two hours tackling these puzzles, and it felt like a real escape room experience. We even had to resort to a few clue cards, but I see that as part of the fun!

The game's 3D elements were a nice touch, adding to the immersive experience. It felt like you were actually exploring the abandoned cabin, with a sense of depth and dimension that added a new level of engagement.

While I understand that the game is designed for one-time use due to the marking and cutting of components, I would have loved the option to play it again. I've heard that some players make copies of the necessary pages to preserve the game, which is a great solution if you want to share it with others.

Overall, this was a fantastic experience that I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys logic puzzles and escape room-style games. Be prepared for a challenge, but also for a satisfying and immersive journey. Just make sure you have plenty of time to spare!
