Once purchased, you will be able to print out the ~12 pages of puzzles to get the game ready. There is also a high-quality introduction video on their website to kick off each game. Both games are played in a non-linear style which is what you would want with a party game so everyone can be working on something.
When playing "Escape from Jigsaw Island", we set up the game like an escape room for the kids, which is one of the recommended ways to play. We had the final “Victory” locked in a box with a 3-digit code and hid the puzzles around the room where they would have to search for them. They loved playing this and immersing themselves into the story.
One thing we really like about these games was after purchasing them, they also include the picture files to the theme and puzzles. This allows you to create additional puzzles that match the theme or personalize the one that is already there for an even more unique experience. You would also be able to decorate and create a party around the theme of the game.

For adults, the puzzles were not overly complicated, but we did find them to be accurate to the age range recommended. We were able to play Jigsaw Island with the kids (aged 6 and 8) where they would take the lead while the adults gave nudges in the background if needed. While playing Mr. George, the adults did more of the game play with the kids helping out here and there.
There were a good mix of puzzles, with some requiring more time and effort than others. My 6 year old was enthralled with some of the quicker puzzles that required placement of items or marking stuff but my 8 year old was more into the decoding the ciphers.

These games delivered exactly what the name of the company says it will, an Escape Room Party. When you purchase these games, not only do you get the puzzles, but you get editable invitations, digital files of pictures that can be used for decorations and the ability to personalize or add more puzzles depending on your audience. The website is also a great resource for ideas, tips, instructions on how to set the game up as well as hints just in case you have trouble yourself solving the puzzles. Depending on how much effort you want to put into these games and a party, you could easily make this an unforgettable event for the kids or a simple night in for the adults.
