One the best flowing and logical rooms I've ever played. It was really satisfying to complete this room without any clues too

Really enjoyed this room. Theming was on point. I should have said to the GM that I’ll ask for clues as sometimes we had hints when we could have done with more time instead. But that’s on us!

Gameplay

Very good theming! Storyline ran well

Atmosphere

Gorgeous set! One particular feature was VERY good. Felt like you were actually in the room.

Customer service

Lovely lass!

Difficulty
