Rating: 4.5/5 - Fantastic, whimsical game with fun puzzles and tech. If Meow Wolf made an escape room.
Pros:
➕The set is wonderful with huge custom built plants and props, it's so artistic and unique. The vibe reminds me of Meow Wolf but with a cohesive style. Everything is vibrant and filled with details.
➕Interesting, weird storyline and characters that made me smile, it had a satisfying ending.
➕Very large space with multiple rooms to discover and explore.
➕Great lighting and audio/music.
➕Love the puzzle style and flow, everything made sense and fit into the universe of the game. Some things were more task-like which I enjoy. Overall it gave me so much joy.
➕Some teamwork needed
➕Almost everything is tech with only a couple padlocks. The tech is interactive and tactile, lots of fun moments.
➕GM was friendly and attentive
Minor nitpicks:
➖Some parts of the set feel a bit plain, particularly the grey walls, flooring, and ceiling.
We played as a team of 3 enthusiasts with plenty of time left, one nudge used. I'd recommend 3 players. 1-2 players may need to crawl.
My ranking of the Daydream rooms (all locations) starting with my favorite:
1. Botanica Greenhouse (Brimley)
2. Dream Portal (Danforth)
Particularly interesting or different
