A narrative puzzle adventure about a missing woman, a nuclear physicist, and Cold War family secrets. The Medusa Report is a cooperative tabletop puzzle game. A treasure trove of touch-real confidential items from a Cold War infiltration mission, like: a real floppy disk in a padded envelope, a detailed military map, old photographs wrapped in blotting paper, a page torn from a book and several highly classified letters. Investigate the mysterious S.E.A. organization, discover what really happened near Nikitagrad in 1974, and above all: find out where Abigail Vandermist is hiding! After four long decades serving a secret intelligence agency, an embittered Abigail Vandermist suddenly drops off the map. She has found something out. Something to do with an old rescue mission into the heart of the USSR, a nuclear physicist, and her own enigmatic father. Meanwhile, Abigail’s sister Helena has been searching for her, ever since her disappearance in 1979. With your help, she was finally getting somewhere. But with Abby on the run, you’re back at square one, and you are not the only ones trying to get to her first…

➕Superb components. They feel deluxe as they should be. ➕ While I wasn't too keen on the story, my friends were very engaged with it and enjoyed it immensely. ➕ While easier than The Vandermist Dossier, I had a satisfying time solving the puzzles in this game. They were very well designed, thematic and creative. Some of the puzzles led to some mindblowing experiences in how the game was crafted. ➖A good number of puzzles were spatial puzzles. While they were still varied and interesting, it may put others off from the game. ➖Some busywork. The game requires you to decode coded messages every now and then, requiring you to spend a good 5 - 10 mins on that. Personally, I would visit the solution once I've figured out the approach to solving it. I really like The Medusa Report! Their puzzles are superb and gave me multiple doses of dopamine when we solved the puzzles. While the story didn't click with me, it'll definitely click with many others. This game is fantastic and a must play for escape room enthusiast.

another great game from Diorama. the puzzles had a very natural flow to it, with a handful of surprises and creative twists and turns along the way. i love the way they can make you realize something you had a passing thought about 30 minutes ago was the setup for a whole other puzzle later on. the whole game feels like an ‘aha’ moment in the best way.
