Dungeons & Dragons: Bedlam in Neverwinter Game, D&D Escape Room Game, Ages 12+

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've never played dungeons and dragons before. But I love dragons so I figured what the hey let's try it out. So we did and it could've gone better had I had more back story on it. But overall for a first timer playing it was fun and we definitely will be playing again!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This game excited me from the moment I saw it. I'm a fan of the Dungeons & Dragons line going back to the original red box, and to the original Hardcover Advanced D&D books. As a board game fan and card game fan, this branding seemed like a sure fire hit. Add to that, this is a genre of game I have yet to explore, the mystery room board game. Needless to say, I was excited to take the dive. As this is my first dive into the genre of mystery room board games, my review is focused on the more familiar elements to me, the theme of D&D. I can't compare this to other mystery room games, having not played any. Thematically, this game feels like Dungeons and Dragons. It fits the bill. To start the game you have basic character creation that involves using cards to pick a character class and a race. Just like in an RPG you start at Level 1. Gameplay involves exploring and searching for clues, the answer to all puzzles will always be a number. In the end of each act(of which there are three), you as a team attempt to solve the mystery then look in the sealed envelope to see if you are right. And of course, there is combat with monsters as should be expected of a Dungeons and Dragons adventure. Things that I like about this game are first off the theme. I like the D&D feel, without being a stereotypical dungeon crawl or RPG. It was nice to pull out of the expected stories and try a mystery. I liked the mystery room concept, but I did not like the concept so much to want to explore another unless it was a compelling story environment that meets my interest(i.e. I would play another D&D themed one, but a generic one would not interest me). I liked that it used familiar D&D concepts such as character creation and combat. Lastly, the game components themselves were well made, and the figures were very nice. What I did not like is that it's got limited replayability. It is one story told in three acts. You carry your character over to each act, with each act being a seperate gaming session. You level up between acts. Each act should take you around 90 minutes to complete, so this is a nice long adventure. However, once you have explored the game and know the answers to the mystery, you really can't play it all over again, because you know the answers. It would be more enjoyable if you could re-explore with new characters. What you CAN do, is "reset" the game, back to its starting state(the cards go back in a certain order, as do the game boards.... all are numbered to accommodate this), and you can then pass the game on to a friend for them to play next. Overall, if you are a fan of fantasy or mystery games, you should enjoy this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son and his friends are hooked with this game. Hasbro Gaming - Dungeons & Dragons: Bedlam in Neverwinter has brought my sons and his friends together weekly. I am so very happy they got off of online playing and console playing and are playing and interacting face to face like the old golden days. I will be getting some Hasbro Gaming - Dungeons & Dragons: Bedlam in Neverwinter for my son's friends - for their birthdays so my house is not the only one with the game Lol!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What an awesome game and a great gift idea for any Dungeons and Dragons fan. Play along with all of your favorite characters on a beautifully illustrated and designed game board. Fun for multiple people or just two or three players. Another escape into the world of D&D.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This game is so much fun. I got it to take to a friend's gaming bar and everyone loves it there. It takes hours to finish and is tons of fun! Definitely recommended for anyone who likes dungeons and dragons

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely enjoyed playing Dungeons & Dragons Bedlam in NeverWinter. It is fun, exciting a great game to pass away the evening with friends or family. Will be recommending to all my family and friends

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This game was awesome! It was super fun to play and had very clear instructions. It is very unique and not like anything I have played before. It was quite intriguing and really made us have to think. This is definitely perfect for family night or just as a present for any occasion. Overall I loved this product and would definitely recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'll start this with a warning, this game (if you choose to play it in one go) is 5 hours long. My family and I do not really have 5 free hours to play this game. We did what we could and had a great time together.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This game surprised me. I've played escape room type games before, but this one is a little different, and the D&D theme works really well here. Each player plays a different fantasy character with a different set of skills. The players choose a character card, then they also choose a profession card and combine the 2 cards to create their character. It's best to pick combinations that make your adventuring party most well rounded.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This game is great for any kid that may be into D & D. My son was thrilled to get this game. It is played in 3 rounds. They only hang up I have is that it's really a one time play. Once you reach the end and know How the game plays it's really not worth playing again.
