What are people saying?

The Casino
 I really enjoyed this box, the number of steps in each puzzle felt *just* right, and I liked following the three paths to the three numbers. – Lauren B.

 I especially enjoyed the poker logic problem. Genius! –  Kathryn

I loved playing The Casino. It’s always so fun to discover the different uses of the same pieces. I got quite stumped on one puzzle, but it ended up being my favorite puzzle. I love that the hints gave me the confirmation I needed without giving me more info than what I wanted. I’m always looking forward to more Gruzzle boxes and I think I’ll get started on another box tonight! – Melinda

The Observatory
The Observatory is so far the best of year 2 from Gruzzle (and Year 2 has been a step up from Year 1). Who thought so many puzzles could be solved via 3 strips of paper and a constellation map. Super excited for the rest of the season (and beyond to Year 3!) – Myles N.

The Restaurant
I LOVED playing through The Restaurant this weekend... And I especially loved the final puzzle. I was going to immediately order The Spy after solving this one, but I decided to be responsible and finish my other three Gruzzles first. – Melinda C.

My family absolutely loves solving each Gruzzle. We look forward to them eagerly. We think that whoever writes the puzzles must be brilliant. That pot with the slits and holes… genius! Thank you for keeping us guessing. – Kathryn L.

The Map / The Garden
We've now played The Garden and The Map and are absolutely obsessed with Gruzzles! My partner and I play a lot of tabletop puzzles, and these are amongst the best we've done over the last few years - fantastic world-building, just the right level of difficulty and such a great variety of puzzle types... Thanks again for making such a brilliant set of puzzles! – Gemma M.

The Musician
“Every single bit of the game is important, with no extraneous bits or red herrings, and it is always fascinating to see how props, sometimes literally, fold in upon each other… effortlessly complex, yet intuitive and family friendly.”
”…contains some of the most original puzzles I’ve encountered, and even though many are brilliant challenges, the experience is still completely accessible to new players.”
”The difficulty curve is smooth, and ensures a few easy wins are doled out to get your momentum going, but ramps up the challenge once players are warmed up!” – Escape Room Adventurer. READ FULL REVIEW

The Will
“... We really enjoyed reading the story line and how Gruzzle made the experience feel like an escape room. We were able to discover hidden places and secret items. As the plot thickened, the items were seamlessly embedded into a meta puzzle for the big finale.
… Stepping away from the digital world for a few hours and just enjoying that moment of peace at the table with just purely puzzles was quite nice. Gruzzle did a great job at making all of the puzzles very different and if you are playing with teammates, everyone will have a moment to shine.”
– Escape the Roomers. READ FULL REVIEW

The Will
“...a super friendly and approachable experience....astounded at how well put together absolutely everything was
 ...mind blowing how there were times we would come back to different items two or three different times to find that there was even more cryptic information hidden within something we just knew had to have been depleted on the last go round
 ...the finale of the game was brilliant….” – Escape Room Adventurer. READ FULL REVIEW

“LOVE IT!!! We’ve subscribed to almost every puzzle sub there is... many disappointments, but really enjoying yours! GREAT JOB!!! Keep them coming!” - S.J., subscriber

The Painting
“… fantastic quality of the props…. Each stage of the mystery involved some incredibly creative solves, all of which integrated into the theme….The puzzles were multilayered and clues included were multi-functional unlike anything I’ve seen before in this sort of medium…. an absolute delight to work through ….It was truly satisfying to crack each new code…. not one puzzle felt stale or overdone…. the experience is fresh and delivers multiple satisfying ah ha moments…. an absolutely brilliant time!” – Escape Room Adventurer.

“Gruzzle provides multi-layered, complex puzzles that require thought, creativity, and persistence to crack…. I found myself delighted how many times a single element could be used in multiple ways throughout the experience…. It will all connect eventually, in ways that will leave you stunned by the simple elegance (and mad you didn’t see it sooner).” – Matt D., Beta tester. READ FULL REVIEW
