Amazon Prime Day Deals
Escape Room Games
Escape from the Mall, Professor Puzzle (Amazon) – From a conceptual and narrative standpoint, it was the most original and fun installment of the Quick-Fire Escape Rooms, but as a puzzle game, it was the most generic. (Review)
The Forgotten Island, Exit: The Game (Amazon) – This is a quintessential Exit: The Game installment. If you love the style, you’ll likely enjoy the puzzles here. (Review)
The Missed Flight from Puzzle Post, Puzzled Post (Amazon) – This is a fun entry level game. It is compact and player-friendly. (Review)
Unlock! Epic Adventures (Amazon) – There are a lot of Unlock! games, and we haven’t played this set yet… but the best way to play Unlock! is on sale. This one certainly has an eclectic set of themes.
Tabletop Games
Escape from Iron Gate, The Escape Game (Amazon) – It is light-hearted, easy to learn, and varied. The constant flux of game modes keeps things playful. It’s great if you like tabletop games, party games, and puzzles. (Review)
Pandemic Legacy Season 0 (Amazon) – We absolutely love this game! We interviewed the creator on REPOD.
Mysterium (Amazon) – This is one of the most frequently played tabletop games in our collection. It’s collaborative, easy to learn, challenging to master, and incredibly replayable.
Puzzles
Schroedingers Cat, iDventure Cluebox (Amazon) – Laser cut out of wood, this resettable puzzle box is like a happy marriage of mechanical puzzle box design with escape room elements. (Review)
The Master Theorem (Amazon) – This is a pure puzzle book presented beautifully. It was pretty, well written, and beautifully presented. (Review)
Necessities
FriXion Ball Erasable Gel Ink Pens (Amazon) – These things have become our go-to pens for puzzling. We love them! (Review)
