At the beginning of each game you open the large board out (it is twice the size of the box and measures roughly 37cm x 53cm) and put the trees on the blue tree icons without anyone knowing which treasure is hidden where. Each player chooses a coloured, wooden playing piece and places it near the star space in the village. The treasure tiles are mixed up and placed face down in the castle courtyard with only the top tile face up.

We took about 2 hours with 3 clue cards (6/10 star finish rating). We enjoyed it. I thought the final puzzle was stretching it a bit for what was required, but I guess now I know what to look out for in the future. If the two star difficulty tripped us up this much, I imagine the higher level ones are impossible for our feeble brains.

According to the general rule, each dice throw outcome is considered a separate move, e.g., a 6 and 5 could be consider as either 11 in one direction, or 5 in one direction and 6 in the other, or vice versa. As each person throws the dice, his aim is to land on a circle that corresponds to a tree. Once a player lands on that space by the end of his move, he may look under the tree and must remember the treasure found there. The board consists of a village (the starting place), the Enchanted Forest itself, and the castle to which players will reveal hidden treasures to the king. Each space is a circle and, depending on the edition of the game, the trees that contain pictures of the treasures on their bottom faces will be placed at specifically coloured circles (generally blue or noted by a tree symbol). There are a maximum of six playing pieces and each treasure depicted on the bottom of the thirteen trees corresponds to a card. These thirteen cards are placed face downward at the castle, except the top card (the treasure the king is currently seeking), which is face up. While searching for the treasures, don't forget to watch the moves of other players. Don't make it too easy for them to reach the castle with what may be knowledge of the right treasure. The Enchanted Forest falls into the Novice two star level of difficulty and should not really pose a problem for many players. As with all the exit games each puzzle does include two hints and (in the worst case scenario) a solution should you really struggle, however just the first hint is normally enough to push you in the right direction.

The story never feels menacing and could easily be read to younger players without fear of causing nightmares. All of the characters you meet are easily recognisable and are drawn very well. As always with the Exit series the puzzles feel well linked with the story and enhance it rather than get in the way. Players are most likely to do well if they have a good memory and can remember the location of all the treasures they find on their travels, not just the one which matches the current tile. With 13 different treasures and locations this is quite a challenge, especially for younger players or those with a poor memory. The box tells you what all the treasures are as well as which fairy tale they are from, which might help children to remember the treasure more easily by giving them meaning. Enchanted Forest is a board game that for me, needs no introduction, as it was a game I loved myself as a child. I have actually asked my Mum for it a couple of times but it appears it was donated many years ago. So I was super excited to be asked to review it. For people that haven’t come across it before it’s a classic family board game from Ravensburger for 2-6 players, which involves around going on a treasure hunt.

There is strategy involved by watching the behaviour of other players and potentially risking racing them to them the tile cards if they give away the location of the treasure as well as trying to hide that you are going to the castle. It’s a good game for practicing poker faces. This is a spoiler-free review. I won't be discussing any of the specific puzzles or their solutions within this review. Scattered across the board are lots of enchanted trees and under the trees are lots of different pictures, pictures more importantly of treasure. The game starts by revealing a treasure card and then all of the players have to hunt for the treasure hidden under all of the individual trees. As soon as one treasure is found a new card is revealed and the hunt begins again. The player who has found the most treasures at the end of the game is the winner.

The Exit series of games from Kosmos (designed by Inka & Marcus Brand) know how to integrate a theme into an escape room in a box. From piloting an out of control plane, travelling across middle earth, or escaping from a haunted mansion every game in the series feels unique and directly linked to the story. I was very excited when I opened Exit: The Enchanted Forest as I love a good Fairy Tale and the box cover alone promised a talking tree and a frog prince. But did the game make me happy ever after or leave a nasty taste in the mouth like a rotten apple presented by an old witch…read on to find out.
