In this escape game from Clementoni you are shut in a museum and have to puzzle your way out. On the box it is called Le musée mystérieux. The little box is small enough for a rucksack or a handbag, hence the 'pocket' in the name.
You solve the riddles together: combining clues, spotting connections that are not obvious at first, and agreeing who investigates what. The box gives 1 to 6 players, so it works on your own as well as with the whole family round the table.
A game lasts 30 to 60 minutes according to the box. The stated age is 8-99, which in practice means an eight-year-old can keep up easily as long as someone reads along. The game is made in Italy.
Handy as a game for the road, on holiday or on a rainy Sunday, and an affordable gift for anyone who likes puzzling or has already stood in a real escape room.
