Alconja Reviews Stuff #2: I've done three (of over a dozen) installments in the Exit: The Game series and have been really impressed. You can get them anywhere you'd normally get board games, but they're basically a one-shot "escape room in a box" and take 1 to 2 hours each (either solo, or in a small group).
Positives: A) Lots of unique puzzles and always a few good "Aha!" moments. B) Being very vague to avoid spoilers, but there's some clever ideas that will really make you smile (even the easy ones are still enjoyable). C) Creative use of components with cutting/folding/drawing that leads to interesting and non-standard puzzles.
Negatives: D) They're truly single use as you fold/tear/draw on stuff as you go. E) Arguably pricey, but $20 for 2hrs is comparable to movie tickets or many other consumable crafts/activities.
Uniqueness/Fun: A++. Puzzles: Ranging from "pretty good" to "excellent!" with the occassional "HA!". Difficulty: They're rated between 2 & 4.5 stars of difficulty and I've only done 2/2.5 star ones (been doing them with non-puzzlers), and in my experience the ratings are fair (every puzzle has hints/solutions if you need them). Overall: 8/10.

@phenomist This question relates directly to one of your answers to another question - you may wish to address it yourself :)

@Stiv The question it refers to (the 2018 one) should probably be closed as an ongoing competition with prizes, no?
 
10:39 AM
@msh210 I hadn't spotted the comment beneath the checkmarked answer saying people had won prizes for solving. Do we know that it is still being treated as an ongoing competition or has the author's prize giveaway finished?
