The Medieval Mishap

The Medieval Mishap is a stellar addition to the History Mysteries catalogue, stepping up the challenge while providing a new slice of history to explore. The lovingly crafted game components will transport you back to medieval times in an instant and you won’t want to leave. A fresh and engaging shift in gameplay breathes new life into the series, which offers a compelling adventure with fun puzzles, hilarious characters and an interactive history lesson that has no chance of putting you to sleep. While The Medieval Mishap is set within the same universe, it is completely standalone and can be played with no prior knowledge of other History Mysteries games. If you haven’t played The Egyptian Enigma, I highly recommend checking it out. I cannot wait to see what is in store next for the agents at the Ministry of Time.

As with “The Egyptian Enigma,” the production values are excellent, from the voice acting to the props. This game is much more substantial than its predecessor, providing a series of puzzles that use lovely papercraft props (many are used multiple times). It’s fun to play them both but I would treat the Egyptian Enigma as the light appetizer and this game as the much more substantial main course. Still on the easy side and would still be good for playing with kids, but “The Medieval Mishap” has enough content to be worth the money. If you only play one of the two, this is the one to play. Recommended.
