The Hobbit: Riddles in the Dark

Get ready for an adventure deep within the Misty Mountains, where you'll join Bilbo Baggins in a battle of wits against the enigmatic Gollum! In 'The Hobbit: Riddles in the Dark', your goal is to solve riddles, uncover secrets, and outsmart your opponent before the darkness consumes you. This title is part of the '18Escape' line, which promises a complete escape room experience in a tiny package, perfect for taking anywhere.

As a group, you'll need to solve a sequence of puzzles that will test your perception, wordplay, and lateral thinking. Fluency in English is a requirement, as clues and riddles are presented in that language. With each riddle solved on the cards, you enter the answer into a companion website (compatible with smartphones and computers), which verifies your solution and tells you which cards to take next. If you get stuck, the website also offers a graduated hint system, giving you a nudge without giving away the entire solution. The game is 'non-destructible', meaning you can write on the cards if you wish, but it's not required, allowing the game to be passed on to other groups after playing. Lasting about an hour and rated 1 out of 3 in difficulty, it's the perfect choice for anyone looking for a quick and immersive challenge in the Tolkien universe.
