Save The Queen

We enjoyed this game and found the environment and in character staff quite fun. This is a unique open concept with different games being played throughout the space by different groups. The puzzles were easy to moderately difficult to solve and the game flowed very well so you always knew what room to go in next. The one thing we didn’t love about the open concept was how crowded some areas became. This is a family friendly space to there were children cutting in front and grabbing things that weren’t part of their puzzle. It could be a bit frustrating at times when you were thinking/working something out. Great experience other than that though!

Rating: 3/5 - I really like the concept here, it's different than an escape room. There are no time limits and it's a large facility with tons of cool, detailed themed areas that you are free to explore. It's oriented it bit more towards kids or very casual players. This specific game is more limited to only a few areas while some of the other games require you to hunt around more of the facility. I liked the interesting fairytale storyline of this game and it was a mix of padlocks and tech triggers. However, most of the puzzles were solved on laminated paper with dry erase markers which wasn't as fun for me, the variety was just OK. The ending was climactic though so at least it ends on a high note. Because of the linear, paper based puzzles, I'd recommend 1-3 players. All the staff here is very friendly and helpful. Of the 3 games I played, here's my personal ranking starting with my favorite: 1. Lost at Sea - High tech with fun puzzles and some scavenger hunt elements 2 .Save the Queen - Mix of padlocks and tech, interesting storyline and fun ending, but I was not a fan of the paper based puzzles. 3. If These Walls Could Talk - More basic puzzles with little variety and mostly padlocks with a couple of tech items.

This game was cute and fun. We had a lovely time. I will say my feeling was that the whole place is geared more toward kids. We enjoyed the game, and some of the puzzles were interesting, but the drawback of the integrated games is intensive signposting/clearly defined puzzles on sheets of paper. We enjoyed getting to walks around and see the whole space and left curious about the other games. The staff were incredibly kind and clearly loved immersing guests in the adventures.

So far Save the Queen has been my favorite adventure at Adventures of Intrigue. Very original puzzles with a fun storyline. Some great hidden elements and a 10/10 experience.
