I do not recommend it as the first contact with the exit the game series, as despite the low difficulty level (**), there are 1-2 puzzles where the quality of the materials played a role in the difficulty of solving them, which has not happened with other exit the game so far, regardless of whether their puzzles were more difficult to solve. Hence the 3 stars. If there were 3.5, I would give that. Otherwise, the Tolkien theme should not be a deterrent if you are not a fan or have not seen the series, as it represents, like all the themes of exit, a broader context that does not relate to the knowledge of it or not with the solving of the puzzles. If you are only two people, this particular exit might be ideal because it "works" comfortably with two. Be careful, the game can only be played once as its contents are used to solve the puzzles and thus some are destroyed. While we have encountered exits that could be donated to another group of people as it was possible to solve them without destroying materials, this one is definitely not. Enjoy!

I had it in my closet and we happened to play it yesterday. Don't worry about whether you're a fan of Tolkien or not. You don't play this one for the 100% transfer to the story. It was my first contact with EXIT games and I am completely satisfied. We had a very pleasant 2+ hours and some puzzles were much more difficult than they seemed. I definitely recommend you to try it!
