Exit Trial of the Griffin is a fantastic addition to the mobile escape-room library. It manages to capture the atmosphere of a classic mystery novel, placing you in a world of high-society secrets and intricate clockwork puzzles. The logic is consistent, which is the most important factor in this genre; you never feel like the solution was unfair or required random guessing. Each puzzle feels like a genuine accomplishment.
The visual design is elegant, with a focus on detailed 3D objects that you can rotate and examine from every angle. This tactile feel makes the puzzles much more immersive than standard 2D point-and-click games. It’s a premium experience that respects the player's intelligence. While it can be quite challenging, the atmospheric storytelling and the satisfaction of uncovering the Griffin’s secrets make it a must-play for fans of 'The Room' or 'Da Vinci House.'
Stunning high-fidelity 3D graphics
Intricate mechanical puzzles
Immersive environmental storytelling
Atmospheric soundtrack
Challenging non-linear progression
Don't just look at objects from the front. Pick up the wooden box in the library and rotate it to find the hidden slider on the bottom; this reveals the key needed for the Griffin clock.
Pay attention to the sounds of gears clicking. If a mechanism doesn't turn, check if a small bolt is physically blocking the movement. The game uses realistic mechanical physics for all its puzzles.
A first playthrough typically takes between 3 to 5 hours, depending on your puzzle-solving speed.
Had a great time with this and the previous “Exit” game on iPhone. I found a few of the puzzles tricky and too obtuse (mostly because I’m playing on a 13 mini, although a later puzzle I would have NEVER guessed) Would recommend!
I have not ever taken the time to write a review before, but I really support this game and want people to know how well done it is! I LOVE playing the EXIT games, and was a little skeptical about ordering this game due to past experiences with puzzle games for my phone. Other games that I have downloaded always disappointed me. They were easy, and basically always directed me to the answer, like there is only one way to proceed. THIS game, however, actually made me think! I love it! I had to use the help function twice when I got stuck, which I HATE doing, but goes to show how challenging this game can be (I’m really smart and good with puzzles for calibration 😊). I really like this online version because of the portability. I bought both available games and am saving the second one for my upcoming vacation. The graphics are really good, the story is par for the course, and the puzzles are engaging. The team at EXIT has definitely impressed me with this game, and I really jope that they make many more!!! And maybe develop one that can be played with several players? Maybe one that is a bit more challenging, I really like the 5 dot ones!!!!
I spent a lot of time on this digesting the clues and finally coming to the solution. So satisfying. At the beginning it was announced clues were immersed throughout the whole software, so one must keep that in mind. I wish reviewers wouldn’t give a low score because they couldn’t solve the puzzles. Everyone just had to be thought through out of the box which made it so enjoyable. Than you developers for an A+ quality game!
I had a lot of fun playing this game but had to use all the hints. I believe that's because of language problems - the translation into English wasn't clear enough to make the objectives or the means of solving the puzzles clear. I spent more time trying to understand what was needed than I did solving the puzzles. Having said that, I thinks it's a great game and I would play another from this developer.
So the second puzzle in the game, with the helmet, says that the number can be seen in the little picture of me. There’s a little picture of the knight on the back of the helmet. No number. After viewing all the clues, even with an explicit picture of where the number is, I still can’t see it, and it’s not in the little picture of the knight anyway. I regret paying so much for this already— if this is indicative of the quality of the clues in the game, it’s ridiculous. Pro tip, y’all— don’t lie in your clues.
Our family is huge fans of the exit box games, and we were hesitant to buy the app version because we weren't sure it would be as good. But this is just as good and so much fun! I hope you make more!
The creators did astounding work yet again. I keep looking forward to new Exit Games, physical and virtual. Please release more soon! If you cannot solve the clues, try playing an easier Exit Game before doing this one. These are for experienced escape artists. Loved it!
Great game, a lot of fun. The puzzles are very well done and for the price, I think the length of the game is very good. I‘ll definitely play future installments of the game and hope that the next game will be a bit longer with more chapters for example.
