Review: We've done a couple other puzzle boxes like this, so it's more or less as expected. Interesting puzzles, cute LotR theming, and we had a lot of fun (four people playing). Overly dramatic readings are a must! They're single use, but for entertaining a group for the evening it's comparatively inexpensive.
Review: I got for my brother who loves LOTR. He thoroughly enjoyed this escape game. I’d purchase again, if it wasn’t a one and done. Highly recommend for those who appreciate LOTR.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can more than 4 players play even though it's 1-4 players?**
A: Yes - more than 4 can play. However, they recommend up to 4 only, because there is only so much space around the objects/cards, as well as there are only a finite number of "things to do". We have played with more than 4, where we assign someone to run the circle codex thingy, another to read the clues aloud, another to write down information from the clue cards, etc. So yes, you can have more than 4 people work together to try and solve the riddle cards. Hope this helps!

**Q: Do the game questions require knowledge of the lord of the rings books/films? or is the game narrative the only link?**
A: This game requires no prior knowledge of the books and films, though fans of the series will recognize many references.
