Can anyone recommend an escape room style game that they've played? I see the Exit series which look good but a lot of people say they're best for 2-3 players, whereas we'll be a group of 6. There is also the Unlock series which gets some good reviews too, but a few seem more like a straight forward puzzle game rather than escape room-esque - the Sherlock Holmes one sounds just like a murder mystery. If anyone has played any and has some thoughts or recommendations it would be appreciated.
 
i tryed :

Goliath Games Presents: Escape Room - The Game | 3 Thrilling Escape Rooms in Your Own Home! | Board Games for Adults | For 3-5 Players​


spesifclly the prison break one which was listed as the easiest...
we didnt beat the timer, not sure its my families type of game.
i dont think its bad and i would recomend. it was our first game in this vain i tried with all of us (4 players).
my next one is :

Thames & Kosmos - EXIT: The Haunted Roller Coaster​

with 1-3 people
or

Thames & Kosmos - EXIT: The Sunken Treasure​


i feel your problem will be the number of players though.i think 4 is probably about right generally for these types of games (the ones i've played).

i might have suggested

Unsolved Case Files | Ashcroft, Harmony - Cold Case Murder Mystery Game​

instead of.

Groups of 6 don't tend to work too well with this type of game.
Exit: Prison Break requires you to split into teams to beat it so could be with a try. Not tried it ourselves yet.
