Puzzle BuffetFunbi GamesEscape roomPop upThis is such a cute experience! The food simulacra created here is lifelike in appearance and satisfying to interact with. The puzzles are fairly clued with very specific goals—zero ambiguity. Some of the props will be used in unexpected ways. It’s a delightful game that is accessible yet crunchy. Highly recommend!
49 Boxes - The Magic of Thayer49BoxesEscape roomPop upThis is a huge, ambitious idea! A ballroom game that provides around 7 separate experiences that coalesce into one final moment. The magic incorporated into the puzzles is delightful. The experience can suffer with too many people working on something, leaving each person with little to do. Conceptually, it’s a masterpiece. In practice, it’s still a grand experience with a fun finale, but—despite efforts to abate this from the people running the experience—downtime and quarterbacking are huge issues that can leave one wishing for more presto change-os.
