About two years ago we played our first Spy Code game from Yulu. It was called Operation Escape Room and it was a lot of fun. The kids wanted to play it over and over. Since then we’ve tried other Spy Code games like Break Free. The latest game is called Hackathon and we received this recently for a review from Yulu. Hackathon was probably the most challenging game to start but once we got the hang of it we were pros in no time. Opinions of the game are our own. You can see how we did in the video below.
We received a copy of the new game Spy Code Operation: Escape Room for free from Yulu to play with and review. Opinions are 100% our own.
escape rooms are popping up all over the place. Escape rooms have a series of challenges within that groups of people attempt to solve together. With Operation: Escape Room you and your kids can set up your own escape Room in your own home. With Operation: Escape Room you get a series of three challenges to complete. Each challenge requires a different set of skills: Dexterity, Problem Solving and a bit of Luck.
The objective: work together and complete three tasks in order to set the captured player free of the master belt before time runs out. First, choose a player to be captured. Place and lock the belt on the player and set the timer on the belt using the rotating dials. The game includes a series of three challenges, a Skill Challenge, Strategy Challenge and Luck Challenge.
The Skill Challenge requires players to wiggle a key out from the bottom of a cage using sticks. The Strategy Challenge uses cards divided into three levels of difficulty. Enter the card number into the device, solve the problem and then enter the answer into the same device. If the answer is correct, 1/3 rd of the key will come out. Players must solve three problems in a row in order to retrieve the key. If the answer is incorrect, the key will pop back into the device. In order to solve the final challenge, the Luck Challenge, players must insert the correct key into a device and spin it. They have three chances to find the key in the device. If players are unable to find the key, they must reset the spinner and start over.
You have to work quickly because there is a time limit to this challenge. This whole game can be modified to make it possible to allow children of various ages to work together. It is suggested that the timer be set for 60 seconds per challenge. The timer can be set for up to 999 seconds. When we first set up the game I set the timer for 300 seconds to give the kids some extra time. At first Eva was really put off by the game. The timer can be very distracting and nerve-wracking. It was a challenge for the kids to work together. They had a tough time at first but eventually they found a rhythm to work together. They kept at it for a wile and had a great time playing. The game is for ages 6+ and is available now at Target exclusively for $29.99. You can see more in the video below.
