The Escape Room Advent Calendar: Puzzle book for adults with 24 interactive riddles to solve while waiting for christmas (Escape Room 2.0 Books)

Ignore comments about the QR code not working, the servers just went down for an hour or so on day 1, probably due a high level of activity!The best ‘advent calendar’ I’ve ever had. I thought it was just going to be an individual puzzle a day type thing, but it’s not and it’s incredibly well thought out. Sets up with an initial story, which I guess you can take it or leave it, but I think it adds another level of engagement. Whilst solving the puzzles you need to use your phone / device to scan a QR code, this is then used for entering your answer and there are also hints available if you need them. Once you have a correct answer you’re then given a number which will later be used in further puzzles.The animations / graphics are of a high quality and it doesn’t feel like a cheaply, rushed together effort.The puzzles (so far) are logic based, unique and make you think outside of the box… or my in case, overthink, on day 2 *face palm*.I think it would be very harsh and unfair if the QR code not working for a short amount time were to overshadow the effort and execution of this book. If you like logic puzzles and fancy something different on the lead up to Christmas, don’t pass on this one.POV: Male, 31

The best advent calendar I have had as it kept me busy for the whole of advent. Some days were more difficult than others and sometimes I overthought it. Similar to Journal 29 series so I was already used to the type of logic puzzles included. Highly recommend!I had no problem with accessing QR codes.

Apparently they were hacked on day 1 and so for some people the QR code didn't work, it was fine for me and I have submitted all my answers no problem. I am quite enjoying the book, the story seems interesting and quite topical to society today.The puzzles are quite difficult and challenging, requiring at least some knowledge in the area the puzzle is based on, the internet can be helpful.

My friends and i worked out the first clue today for December 01 but the QR code doesnt work; the website seems fully down and when i google the website i cant find it.Its so dissapointing because i thought that surely all the issues from last year would have been ironed out since the reviews from last year had the same issue. No way to contact the authors either :/

Although we couldn’t get the QR code working at first it’s fine today.Looks a great puzzle that the whole family is involved in even though we live in different parts of the country. Brings us all together once a day.

Don’t be put off by the reviews saying it’s rubbish because the QR code doesn’t work, It started working the next day! Yes, we were disappointed when we couldn’t access the QR code on day 1 and thought it didnt work, but the next day it was active again and the creators wrote a nice message to explain what had happened. We had wondered if they had been a victim of their own success and couldn't cope with demand, I am sorry now that I had already requested a refund immediately due to being disappointed. So stick with it, the puzzles so far have been great, enough of a challenge, but not frustratingly so, as you can get hints if you're stuck, just as in a real escape room! Great alternative to a chocolate adventure calendar, and great family fun!

There are printing errors (which is so important in a puzzle book). There isn't really a story linking the puzzles so far either, so doesn't feel like an escape room.The puzzles vary in difficulty and rely on a lot of random knowledge (or googling) to solve. We also find it hard that the answer page often simply states "enter the solution" and there are many possible things you could find as the answer so you have no clue what you are looking for.Overall it's a bit of fun, but also quite frustrating.

So , it’s a book, with a q.rvcode on every page, for everyday, this leads you to a website, where you have to work out puzzles. A good idea, aimed at younger teenagers, my 17 year old, lost interest in it after dayv1.
