Permanently Closed - ''So great was her love for her new husband, and so powerful was his passion for his art, stoically she sat for weeks while he painted the very essence of her life into her portrait. It wasn’t until the last detail was complete that the artist realized he truly entrapped her spirit into his work. While her body has since been laid to rest, her soul remains entrapped in the oval portrait. Can you find a way to release her?

This room is a little tough to judge because we honestly received waaaay to much unrequested assistance from the GM. I feel like we could have solved most of it on our own but the GM kept giving hints over and over again. I think part of the problem though was a linear puzzle design with the ability to attempt but not complete puzzles out of order. It creates a poor flow to the room. We still enjoyed the room but it certainly wasn't one of our favorites.

Terrible experience with GMs, locks, instructions, and flawed logic in puzzles. Will avoid in the future.

Gameplay

From start to finish it was a disaster. First they told us not to look at a certain part of the room. After wasting the first ten min and asked for a clue, they told us to go to the area they told us to avoid. They had issues with locks and the GM even came in the room and couldn’t figure it out. One puzzles logic was totally flawed. At the end the last puzzle didn’t work properly. They told us we couldn’t be successful with our group number, so not sure why they let us book.

One key lock wouldn’t open and the GM came in and tried. Last puzzle was not working either.
