This is a 40 challenge escape puzzle. In each puzzle your are suppose to disentangle the secured Houdini (secured with ropes, locks, and rings that are included) without undoing the clasps. There are 3 different levels from Beginner to, Intermediate, and Advanced. Plus, there is a neat travel bag that is included and can fit everything in for on the go fun or easy clean up.

Now this game can get hard with various add ons. However, to play it purely for the game it is much easier to have someone who is the set up and someone who is untangling the chaos. Only because once you put it together it is kind of simple to untangle him though you could time yourself.

I had my niece who is almost 7 test it out with me and I have to say. She was able to do almost every single one with a reminder here and there that she could not unhook the clasps. It does say use what you learned from the previous to work on the next one and so on. However, we jumped from a beginner to advance and all over the cards/choices. But she had a blast and for the longest always wanted to play until she was done with all the cards that it came with.

I believe with adults even for a party game timing it would be a fun thing to see. Or get two of them and see who can get it done the fastest. But I know that there are many steps and things that can be added to make it a bit harder once you get the basics down.

I did received the game above for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased thoughts and opinions.
