A solid 7/10 for us! It's rather short, so I'd wait for a sale. We completed it in just about two hours. We may go back and swap places, but it'll have to be later down the line so we forget the puzzles. I may not have bought the game if I had known it was this short, but I won't force a refund even though I could. Doesn't seem fair. This game is more for amateur or intermediate puzzle solvers I think. The puzzles were mostly pretty easy. The only thing that would be holding you back is how good you are at communicating with your partner. I liked the variety in different puzzles and how unique they felt. The only one we had to brute force was the TV antennas part.
