Choose Your Own Adventure: House of Danger Board Game - Embark on a Perilous Journey in this Cooperative Narrative Adventure! Ages 10+, 1+ Players, 1+ Hour Playtime, Made by Z-Man Games

Had NO idea how much fun this game would produce. My mom, at the age of near 80, plus my niece and nephew in their teens. We had an awesome time playing this!!!

This is an easy to learn, well paced, engaging, story style, adventure game. It’s cooperative fun. Your on an investigation, adventuring, encountering obstacles, making decisions on how to survive and where to explore. My kids and partner and I loved it.

This is really a "Choose Your own Adventure" Book. If you read one, you know what it's like. The added crib board and dice add a little interest to the game. Well packaged with the cards and everything. Very self-explanatory. For adults it's not quite the "adventure" it was as a kid, but some of the descriptions ended up laugh out loud funny. You can re-do things and go back, etc.

Love this game. It is fun for those of us who grew up with the books, and for the new generation. Played with college age sons and their girlfriends. The only down side is that once you’ve done all the challenges you know the story and can’t really play again. I suggest not going back to do challenges you missed when the game gives you that option. Save those for the next time!

I of course loved CYOAB (Choose your own Adventure Books) as a kid so this revival of the concept looked fun. The gameplay was easy and quick to learn in this game. The gameplay can be fast or last a couple of hours if you want. It is played a chapter at a time with a specific goal in mind to achieve a the end of each one. If you die, instead of like in the books, you take a small penalty, and then the game directs you back to the decision point(s) to try again. Its a great concept that can probably be repeated with all the CYOAB books yet we purchased the other available title in this series and that one seems to follow a different concept for its gameplay (I do hope its as fun). My 8-year-old had fun and so did my wife and I. Maybe some of the elements aren't for small children but my kid did fine. The footprint of the game is small requiring only minimal space for gameplay when compared to the average board game.Ironically, my only complaint is that it is A LOT of reading as it's just like reading the chapter books but this is forgivable. I would buy and am looking forward to buying many more titles as they become available.

If you have good memories of CYOA books, you'll like this game. You can play it solo - I played with friends and we had a great time.Only real complaints I have about the game are - firstly, as others have said, its only got so much replayability. After two or three play throughs if you make sure to take alternate paths, you'll have gone through almost all the cards.Second, running the game is a little complex - not terrible, but not exactly "Cards Against Humanity" simple -which isn't terrible except there is no easy way to reset it for another playthrough. It'd be better if there was an easier way to reset the adventure and clue cards; I ended up just reseting the previous chapter while we played the next one.Even with those issues, it was less than a cost of a movie ticket and made for a more enjoyable evening.

Played solo. It's pretty fun. You can get different items and go back through chapters. Replayability is there if you want to try different paths. I'd recommend it if you want a solo game, like mysteries, and chooses your own path books with a little board game element to it.

Ok, so I played this game over a few weeks because it is chapter based. Basically the game has five chapters each with a mission card and you work towards the goal. It took about 45 minutes to finish a chapter. The main problem with the game is is two fold.1. Since the game is based on the old kid book, the choices you are left to make do not always have any true logical reasoning, you basically take a guess and follow a course, I still had fun and enjoyed it.2. Often ties I would finish a chapter and a whole stack of story cards and clue cards would be left and I kept wondering how could we get more clues.The game has about five different possible endings, in my game I saved myself but no one else. There were clue cards, that had I gotten in previous chapters would have gave me a different ending.I guess if I wait a few weeks I could replay the game and try a few different things, so yes there is a replay ability but maybe not as challenging the second time.Overall i read tons of these books as a kid and Time Machine books and I still had fun and I am considering buying the second game as well. I have since purchased a few Escape games from the company Escape and I am looking forward to it.For refrence I love RPG and I am a big fan of Settlers of Catan and many other games
