Wayward Spacers

Mini escape room where almost all the gameplay takes place on a single two-sided wall. The team is split by the wall and communication between the sides is crucial to gameplay. Managed to capture the communication-based gameplay of split-team escape rooms quite well. Puzzles and theming are fun. Not a must-play, but pretty enjoyable. One puzzle in this room is substantially more difficult than average, making this room the most difficult from this company.

Enjoyable game with satisfying solves. I really liked this concept, forcing players to communicate. There is no room, all the puzzles are built into a small wall. The objective of the puzzles were to open padlocks (no tech) but they still managed to make it a tactile experience with many objects to manipulate. The puzzles were on the more difficult side, but not impossible. My team of 4 did need 1 hint, the hints were written on cards, there is no GM watching you. My only wish is that they had a progressive hint system giving you smaller bits of information instead of walking you through the entire puzzle at once. I also wish they tweaked the visual design of one of the puzzles so that it was less ambiguous, it was clear this was a common issue as the game host purposely left it in a partially solved state as a clue. I played this and The Big Dig at Gen Con and enjoyed them both similarly, though Wayward Spacers is more difficult.

Another delightful collaborative mini-game, with the adorable objective of launching a little rocket. Each and every pop-up from Co-Operatives is well designed and worth playing!
