Spend an evening working with your guests to unravel the mystery of the Stargazer's Manor and save a well-known astronomer by finding clues and solving puzzles. But be careful, in this nail-biting party game, the doors have shut and locked behind you. Will you and your guests be able to solve the mystery and save the astronomer before time runs out?

One of the more enjoyable escape room in a box games.

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2024

Verified Purchase

My wife and I just played Mystery of the Stargazer's Manor. It was on the easy side--definitely a beginner level game--but it was actually one of the more fun ones that we've played too (IMO)... and that includes all the EXIT: The Game titles released to date, all the Unlocked! sets except Extraordinary Adventures, and dang near every Escape Room The Game title released, plus several others (Holiday Hijinks, Escape-The-Crate, etc). Stargazer's Manor ranks right up with the best of them. None of the puzzles had any "giant leaps of logic" in them. That doesn't mean there weren't any challenges, just that everything was straightforward and well organized. Really, my only complaint about this game was that the narrative--which was done really well, by the way--almost told you exactly what you needed to do on a few occasions; i.e. it held you by the hand a little too much. I'm sure beginners, especially first-timers to this genre of game, would find that helpful, though. In fact, I'll go so far as to say that this is probably the best escape room game available for a first-timer; but even advanced-level players can enjoy it, or at least appreciate it for its quality, flow, and logical progression. The box says the game is designed for 3-8 players, but honestly I wouldn't recommend more than four, and that's pushing it. Stargazer's Manor is a one-play game, but nothing is destroyed so it can be repacked (instructions available on the ThinkFun website) and passed on to other family members, friends, or a local thrift shop. The ThinkFun web site support for the game is great. I think Stargazer's Manor is much too easy to make an "event" out of it as they suggest, with period costumes, harpsichord music, and what not, but I appreciate that ThinkFun is thinking about providing an entire "experience" above and beyond just the game alone. My wife and I are playing The Secret of Dr. Gravely's Retreat next, and I for one am really looking forward to that with GREAT enthusiasm! ThinkFun has us hooked.

Easy but fun.

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2016

I adore the Escape Game phenomenon, and was excited to try out this board game attempt to capture the same type of feeling and fun. Here’s a SPOILER FREE look at ThinkFun’s home version.

Basic Gameplay:

There is a brief instruction manual that introduces the concept of the game and sets the stage, but really everything the players need to know is explained on the various pieces that will be part of the game. At the beginning the players are presented with five sealed envelopes depicting various areas of the Manor and the first Scene Card. The card sets up the story context for the game and walks the players through how the solution wheel works in a nice little intro. It then points players to the first envelope to begin the game proper.

The solution wheel is particularly well done. Solutions to each puzzle / envelope are indicated by paired colors and symbols, and if correctly entered into the wheel a symbol matching the current puzzle will be shown in two places on the wheel, indicating that envelope should then be opened.

General Thoughts:

Stargazer’s Manor is well designed and produced, and reasonably thematic. The puzzles make sense and are pretty well held together with the story framing. The quality of components is high, particularly at the price point. A good job was done overall evoking a location and providing some hands on puzzling without getting crazy in the cost department, but there is of course a visceral feeling to the exploration of an Escape Room that can’t be captured in a primarily 2d game.

The box says it accommodates 3-8 players, and given this type of game can only be played with a given group once we went with the maximum to get as many people involved as possible.

It may have been because all but one of us have previously played an actual Escape Room and were experienced puzzlers, but we didn’t need nearly that many people and it was tough keeping everyone involved since it’s mostly a “one puzzle at a time” experience. Four of us would have been plenty, and that’s the number my intuition recommends trying this with.

We found the puzzles on the easy side, but still had fun and again it might have been because of our experience level. The game tends to point you rather directly at the next thing to solve, which is a bit of unnecessary handholding given how few things there are to choose between.

Outside of possible tape damage to some paper pieces if you aren’t careful when opening things, none of the components are permanently marked while playing. Combined with instructions on the website on how to put everything back in the proper envelopes when finished, the game can be packed back up afterwards and given to a new group to try. Nice touch by ThinkFun.

Summary

So in conclusion while Escape the Room: Mystery at The Stargazer’s Manor is not quite equal to its inspirational namesake and tends to the easy side, it’s still a fun experience well worth trying out. ThinkFun has another out already (Secret of Dr. Gravely’s Retreat) which I’ll definitely try sometime.

Very Short and Easy

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2023

This game took our family of three 30 minutes total to complete (two adults, one 13 year old). The adults mostly observed, reserving the fun of figuring the puzzles out for the child. While it was nice to not feel frustrated at any point, there were just too few puzzles in the box and the solutions were too obvious, making the experience way too brief and a bit disappointing. It's nice that no components are destroyed, we will regift to a family with a 7 and 12 year old, hopefully they will get more enjoyment out of it.

I’ve played most of the exit games and loved them, I was looking for something similar and this hit the spot. Very fun to play and actually found it easier then the exit games but all the puzzles were still a challenge. I would love to play more of these.

Great fun for my son and I

Reviewed in Canada on October 31, 2020

Verified Purchase

My 7 year son has been interested in escape room puzzle games for some time. We have done some escape rooms with Alexa on our Amazon Echo. Last Christmas, we also did a (different) board game one with my sister and niece. However, that one was (for us) fairly difficult, and it ended up being mostly my sister and I that did it as it seemed too difficult for the kids (and it was pretty difficult for us). Recently, he has been wanting to do another. I have been trying to convince him to wait until the next time my sister visits, but he did not like that idea as he got left out. He wanted one for us to do just the two of us.

I did some research and it sounded like this was one of the easier ones. It is listed as for being for 3-8 players and ages 10 plus, but I saw other reviewers mention playing just 2 players and it being easy, so I took a chance. It was just right and I am very happy with my purchase. We had to think, but we never got too stuck. It was fun. Plus I love how they have on the thinkfun website instructions for repackaging it so you can give it to someone else to use. The previous escape room we did, you had to rip some of it up so it had to be thrown away once used. With this one, I can at least now give it to my sister and niece to do.

I definitely would recommend it, but I would say it is on the easier side for an escape room game. This was great for us, but escape room experts would likely find it too easy.

The most amazing game I have ever played!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 14, 2017

Verified Purchase

I have bought this game after I have been in a live escape room and I was not sure whether it could provide a similar experience, but actually it did.

Let's start from the companion website which is incredible. You can find the invites to send to you friend, some suggestions for setting the mood (including dress code and streaming music), hints and the reassemble instructions. Hints are made in a way that you just get what you want without spoilers. There's a generic one; a more detailed one and, finally, the solution.

The game contains some closed envelopes and each one contains some enigmas that you have to solve in order to escape the room. There are some objects or instructions that can facilitate your escape.

The story was incredible fine and we enjoyed it. I didn't believe that I could be so involved in the game that I felt part of the game.

I have played it with my partner and, despite the box suggest 3-11 players, we loved it. It took about one and half hour to solve it using 3 hints from the website.
