I’m so happy that such a fun and well designed room is added to the Riverside collection. Immersion began the moment we stepped into the lobby, our game master was absolutely lovely and had us giggling, the tech in this room was refreshing and included things I’d not seen before/in a long time! The hint system is integrated so well in the game (no walkie talkie or waving your arms for help, breaking the immersion). The room concept is neat one and the story flows pretty well. It is a smaller room, and not too many puzzles, so it’s a good beginner/amateur room to start, and nice to test your speed run skills for a more well-seasoned player, but neither the limited space or puzzle take away from the game. Add this one to your to-do list, and can’t wait until they come out with more.
Puzzle concepts were fresh and something I’d never seen before. Game flow got kind of confusing because there were pieces of puzzle in one room meant for the next room, but not a deal breaker by any means.
The coding and some of the props were absolutely great, blast from the past and definitely immersive from the get go, even in the lobby. It’s a smaller room but that doesn’t take away from the experience.
GM was absolutely great, keeping in character from the beginning, helpful throughout the game, and a pleasure to talk to and pick her brain afterwards.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
Knowing that one of the owners did all the coding for this room just made me appreciate it all that much more.
Definitely a memorable plot and neat concept they can keep running with.
Required some hints but nothing was too terribly hard.
Physically active
Not at all
Easy to find, yes - ever so slightly sketchy because it’s in the back side of an alley… also yes. 😅
