Escape room game at home - any good ones?

We usually have a family board game night in the run up to Xmas, with nibbles and drinks and just having fun together. This year I'd like to try one of those escape room/mystery puzzles with lots of clues that can be done over a couple of hours. But there is a bewildering array available now, so I'd love a specific recommendation if anyone has done one?
Family of 4, kids are older teens so it doesn't need to cater for younger kids.
Thanks!

Thanks @Snozzlemaid I'll check those out. There seem to be so many around, but I want to make sure we get an engaging one!

Silly Q, but can these games be used again with a different outcome? Or is it a one-time only thing?

This brand is decent but we’ve had others that were rubbish

Another recommendation for the EXIT games, they’re really good, with everything you need inside the box

Favourite here are the "Unlock" games

Ooh good question - if can only use once it would be good to exchange other games with people
