Product description
The Sea is calm. The sun is shining. You're on the perfect sailing excursion. But then you spot something on the horizon. Dark clouds are rolling in unusually fast. Soon the sun has disappeared and darkness has surrounded you. Everything is absolutely still. Until suddenly, out of nowhere, a mighty gust of wind capsizes your boat. You are knocked unconscious. When you wake up, you are on a black sand beach. There's no sign of your boat, not even wreckage. You look around and find an old book and a mysterious golden compass disk. A boat is chained to a palm tree. Everything on this island seems to be secured with locks. And you soon come to realize: you must figure out all the combinations to open the locks in to order to escape. If not, you will never leave this island! Can you solve the riddles left for you and escape the Island?.

- Reviewed in Canada on June 24, 2025Verified PurchaseThese are amazing!
- Reviewed in Canada on February 17, 2025Verified PurchaseMy boyfriend got one of the exit escape games for Christmas and we really enjoyed it so I bought this pack which is one level harder than the one we previous played. It’s thought provoking and encourages creativity. It’s a great way to pass time and a fun experience!
- Reviewed in Canada on February 7, 2021Verified PurchaseThis was our second escape game from Thames and Kosmos (The Abandoned Cabin being our first).
We ended up trying the app this time for the little tutorial, soundtrack and timer (you don't have to). The soundtrack was fun to have on in the background without being too distracting. The app tutorial probably would have been more helpful the first time we tried one of these games. It's helpful to have a pencil and pen, paper and scissors handy. I also highly recommend keeping track of the puzzles you've completed (represented by a symbol) along with the cards associated with it that you referred to. You can usually set aside/get rid of the riddle cards pertaining to that puzzle/symbol once you are done with them, though cards featuring rooms or sceneries will often be kept around longer. It could be helpful to have a little bit of knowledge of compasses though it probably isn't necessary.
As two players, it ended up taking us just as long the second time around - roughly three hours. I enjoyed the puzzles in this one more - they were clever but also quite challenging (one requiring three riddle cards was a bit mind boggling to process and led to some laughter). The crescent symbol and related page (6) and cards (including Y & Z) was probably my least favorite part. We realized at the end that something seemed off related to cards Y & Z and discovered that we had done it wrong, yet by chance still managed to get the code right.
We did use four clues, not counting a couple we used but didn't actually need because we had figured those things out.
Patience is key because it can be very frustrating at times. Keep in mind it can take time for certain puzzles to be solved (you may need several pieces or riddle cards before you can do so, so some cards will be set aside until you can use them later). Clues can be used if needed.
I managed to figure out a few things that ended up being helpful but thank goodness for my partner and their own way of thinking because I would have been completely lost for many parts. It is definitely an interesting way to spend time that does not involve technology, and that asks for more focus in a world of shorter attention spans. The downside is that it does feel rather wasteful being a single use game. Contrary to the cabin game, which could potentially be used again with care taken, this one definitely felt unusable after completion. With the cabin game, it also felt to me like there were cards leftover or not consulted, whereas this one seemed to make use of pretty much all its materials, which is at least a plus if you aren't able to use them again.
The website Boardgamegeek offers a good explanation of the game if you need some guidance (see Darryl T's Exit: The Forgotten Island - A Detailed Walkthrough) but try to challenge yourself as much as you can. It's nicer to look at it after your attempt.
It's funny how when we finished this, we were both exhausted and feeling like we were done and probably wouldn't do another one of these for a while, if ever. A day or two later, we were already thinking of playing a new one. It made me think of giving birth. How it could be described as very hard in the moment - to the point of not wanting to endure it again - but then you forget the pain and are ready for baby #2 (or 3 in our case)! lol
- Reviewed in Canada on March 7, 2025Verified PurchaseExcellent game, tons of fun. Very good game to spent a good time with friends and family.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 6, 2025Verified PurchaseAs a family we love these games. Our two teenage boys 15 and 19 enjoy solving the clues. 2 hours of fun for the family.
- Reviewed in Canada on December 6, 2024Verified PurchaseLoved this so much I bought them all
- Reviewed in Canada on November 5, 2023Verified PurchaseThese games are great fun, and very challenging. Have done a number of them already. Unfortunately, they are designed to be played only once, due to folding, cutting some game pieces. You have to think of it as a nights entertainment for a group of 4 or more, similar to a night out at an escape room, or something similar. You are paying for the entertainment value of the product.
- Reviewed in Canada on March 17, 2025Verified PurchaseThis was an exceptionally difficult puzzle game with no flow to the puzzles. Very challenging to navigate to the point we didn’t finish it at all. Other exit games easier to navigate-def not 3/5 difficulty- choose another exit game if possible :(

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this series!! Amazingly clever - each one different from the next.
Verified PurchaseOkay, I haven’t played this exact one yet, but please read on:
My husband and I have done 2 real escape rooms and loved them both. During the quarantine I wanted to find something non-electronic that we could do together and a cooperative game sounded like just the thing. We started the EXIT series with the Mysterious Museum (a level 2), then Secret Lab (3 1/2). Since then we’ve also played Pharoah’s Tomb (4) and Sunken Treasure (2) and have Forgotten Island (3) and Forbidden Castle (4) waiting in the wings. Having done four of these games so far, this is what I have to say:
We are absolutely AMAZED at the cleverness. I’m particularly amazed that although each game follows the same basic format (i.e. once you’ve played one you will know quickly how to play the rest), each one is completely and utterly different in terms of theme and puzzles to solve. We have seen no duplications of anything, though each game does give you more ideas about how to think for the next one.
We time each clue and then enjoy going back over what stumped us. Some puzzles took 1-3 minutes, others took 20-30 minutes or more. On the first game my husband felt we were stuck too long at one point so he went for a clue, but I was sorely disappointed that we did that. Since then we tough it out - NO CLUES! Though after we’ve escaped the room it’s fun to go back and read them.
Also - these are one and done games. In other words, once you solve it you won’t want to do that again (unless some time has passed and you have a terribly memory) because it’s one solution - one game. There is no variation if you play it again. BUT... for the price - it’s cheaper than two movie tickets (also one and done) and totally worth it for an evening of entertainment. They say you have to cut/tear/bend and while that’s true we managed to keep each of the games in tact and passed them along to friends. Sometimes it SAYS to cut so we cut and just taped back together. If bending was required we used our imagination so as not to deface the game or give clues to the next players. We were able to make it happen each time. So technically you can pass it along if you want to, but even if you didn’t - like I say - cheaper than going to the movies.
How many people? One could do it. Two was perfect for us. MAYBE three, but the caveat is that the pieces are small and can only be looked at by a couple people at a time. If you had a group of 4 or 5, someone will be waiting. Two people is great because the ones I got quickly, he wouldn’t have and visa versa.
My only complaint: the writing is quite small on some of the pieces making it really difficult for me to read. My younger-eyed husband didn’t have a problem, but if it were just me the tiny print on some of the cards would have taken away some of the joy.
So far we’ve had four great date nights and had a blast. The people who aren’t liking this game obviously just bought the wrong game for them. Go into it understanding and accepting the challenge and you will do just fine. The clues are pretty good and are progressive... so lets say you take a clue and you already had figured that out - it won’t count against you and you have two more progressive clues to check if you’d like. So there is no reason you can’t finish or understand the game. Be patient, clever, and think outside the box (or sometimes inside the box, but I digress...)
LOVE.THESE.GAMES. !!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Super fun concept! Tricky too!
Verified PurchaseI got a couple of these. Despite this one being three stars, I found it pretty tricky in parts and very easy in others. I wouldn't say it's a consistent "three stars" across every puzzle, but I think that's a fair cumulative score for it.
I got the app because I thought it would help with the ambiance. It does :) Would recommend!
Also, if you make copies of all the book pages as well as some of the cards (you'll know which ones when you start playing), you can preserve the game for re-use or re-gifting.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun to play as a team, not reusable
Verified PurchaseI bought 4 of EXIT games for Christmas. We started with this one. The instructions are very clear. It can be played for one player, but I would recommend to play with a family or friends. It took longer than we thought. You do not get clues all at once. You need to solve other clues to get pieces of new clues. The fun part is everything can be a clue, the book, the card, the box and etc. Pay attention to the details.
Sometimes, it require to tear the page or cut the cards. That's something I do not like. Because it was only one time use and ended up wasting lots of paper and boxes. Other than that, it is a good product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Stay-At-Home Escape Room!
Verified PurchaseAbsolutely loved this game! My friends and I are big fans of board games and escape rooms, so this was the perfect mix between solving escape room clues and staying home to play at our own pace. (Yes, we timed ourselves, and considered ourselves "dead" after the hour was up...) It took a little over 2 hours to solve all of the puzzles - we were trying very hard not to use clues - but it was very engaging and we loved every puzzle. It's very well done and organized, and we were very impressed with the setup and game play. For 3/5 ranking, the level was still decently challenging, and there were a couple of riddles that we needed help with. I've already ordered a second one because I loved this so much! Highly recommend :)
