Escape Room In A Box: Flashback

Having enjoyed the original Escape Room In a Box, the Werewolf Experiment, there's no way to hide the fact that this sequel was very disappointing.

I've played a lot of escape room-in-boxes, so don't normally expect to see many completely original ideas, but we played it with some first-timer friends and even *they* had seen many of the puzzles before. There was no challenge, the plastic props looked like they belonged in a Barbie house (appropriately, for a game made by Mattel), and the narrative really made very little sense. It felt more like the kind of activity pack that kids would do on the back of a kids' menu at a restaurant than a full-price escape room game.
