Ok, WTF does that mean?įrom this, I was supposed to be able to infer an action related to a portion of the pyramid with a specific shape, but after 10 minutes, I had not, so I availed myself of an 11-second spoiler video. WTF did any of it mean? The first riddle was just 3 symbols, a downward facing arrow, a jagged line, and a hieroglyph that resembled an eye. Once I got “Quest Pyramide” unboxed and figured out that I was supposed to stare at four riddles printed on the underside of the square pyramid, I immediately hit a wall. Two beautiful mysteries waiting to be solved. Instead, I got a lot of that old Encyclopedia Brown vibe while attempting (and failing) to unlock these visually impressive wooden puzzles. It was very exciting to sit down with the pyramid fully intact, and I was truly eager show myself just how clever I’ve become as an adult by solving the game’s mysteries. The idea behind these wooden puzzle games is that they have a secret compartment inside of them and only by deciphering the hints on the outside of the puzzle can you slowly unlock the container to get to the secret reward hidden within. What was special were the two “escape room in a box” puzzles they sent: “Quest Pyramide” and “House of the Dragon” (both of which rated 4 out of 5 on the difficulty level).

Gameplay OverviewĮsc-Welt sent me two games to review, plus a standard wooden jigsaw puzzle that was fun but nothing special. Welt is the German word for World, so the brand offers the promise of a nice escape from reality as you immerse yourself in Esc-Welt’s beautifully crafted wooded puzzles. With that in mind, I decided to try my luck with some mystery puzzles from the German company, Esc-Welt.
That said, I still read all the books in the series, but it was always a little bit love/hate.

I remember those two to this day because I was so frustrated by them being unsolvable without spoilers, and when I go to college I found out that my roommate Craig was also held a bit of a grudge against the series over the “arrow flight” solution. I blamed this on the fact that the clues were impossible for a 9-year old to possibly figure out one time the answer involved knowing that the letters “c” and “v” are adjacent on a QWERTY typewriter, another involved the fact that “a narrow flight” and “an arrow flight” sound similar. In theory, there was always a way for the reader to solve the mystery before Encyclopedia Brown revealed the answer, but I don’t think I ever did. When I was young, I used to enjoy reading the Encyclopedia Brown mystery stories, where the namesake of the series would solve small-stakes mysteries while being protected from the neighborhood bully, Bugs Meany, by his friend Sally Kimball.
