Professor Puzzle | Escape from Grand Hotel | Puzzle | Ages 12+ | 2+ Players

Product Information

Professor Puzzle provided duplicate copies of one of the more tedious puzzles so that more players could participate. We didn’t find a clued way to solve this. For us, it was simply a search puzzle… with a lot of searching. There are some interesting ideas and a lot of great execution in Escape from the Grand Hotel. If you really enjoy tabletop escape games, this one had a lot to offer. However, there were too many little flaws and gaps that got amplified by the limited hint system for me to comfortably recommend this to a tabletop escape game newbie. Who is this for?

Weird, wonderful, exhausting, entertaining, daft and downright ridiculous, Phantom Peak is an immersive experience not to be missed. Great game enjoyed by 2 adults and 2 daughters aged 12 and 9 years old. The effects and tech was outstanding but the host did seem eager to give hints, several times before we asked. Another very different at home proposition, Escape from the Grand Hotel, is a table top, envelope-based escape experience. The Grand Hotel was once the place for the rich and famous to visit. After decades of disrepair, the mysterious and wealthy Blossom family had restored the hotel to its former glory. Kurt Blossom and his beautiful wife, Lauren had invited us to the hotel’s grand reopening. We were ready for a night to remember – little did we suspect it would be for all the wrong reasons!If you type something in the 'Text to display' box, that will be displayed instead of any star rating. The box states it is for 2 to 8 players, but there were only two of us playing. So it was a surprise when we opened the box to find character invitations for 8 players. Maybe it is meant as a dinner party game where we all play different roles, we mused. But, no. The characters seem to play no part in the game whatsoever!

As for the puzzles they were a mixture of “too easy” and “too illogical.” We rattled through most of the game without any trouble until we hit the coded fax puzzle. The game provided duplicate copies of this puzzle, so we could both pore over it. We found it to be one of the most tedious puzzles we’ve ever done. It made absolutely no sense, even after reading the hint and seemed to solved purely by searching. (When we finished the game we read the supposed answer and it still made no sense!)

They want to restore the hotel to its former glory but something isn’t quite right. When their glamorous, rich and influential guests arrive for the grand re-opening, they’re ready for a night to remember – but as it turns out, it’s memorable for all the wrong reasons! Unfortunately it’s been too long since we played, and we don’t have the game here anymore. I can’t remember. I’m sorry.
