Hack Attack

Mission 1: Hack Attack: Taking on the role of Ninjas, our goal was to rummage through the office of Mr. Hancock and recover money stolen from our clients. As a member of the Kraken, Hancock represents a major threat to the Ninja order. We had to escape the room before Hancock or the Kraken returned. Mission 2: Black Lace: The Kraken have developed a deadly poison that has the potential to kill everyone. Our goal was to scour the lab, uncover its secrets, and steal the formula before the lab combusted. Pros: The ninja theme was exciting and the introduction to the story was interesting. Game masters were friendly, enthusiastic, and attentive to the game, keeping us progressing forward. Cons: The overall set design was basic and seemed inconsistent with the initial storyline. Not all of the puzzles were very logical and some required additional, unnecessary steps. Bonus: We were able to pose with cool Ninja gear for our victory photos! Fun props are always a plus!

This was a very interesting experience to say the least. Back in the day of public games, we had a chance to play this with some awesome and fun-loving strangers. The set design for this game was very modest, and the story was really unique, but the puzzles were VERY difficult! We luckily had a member of our team already knowing one of the ciphers by heart but other than that we wondered how many people actually passed in the allowed time. The challenge definitely made it fun though!
