On his deathbed, renowned artist F. X. Balko revealed to his maid that his masterpiece, Saint Xaverius, holds a hidden secret: the location of a miraculous stone said to grant eternal youth to its discoverer. Some even believe this stone to be the legendary Holy Grail.

The painting now hangs in the chapel of a centuries-old monastery, home to a secretive Brotherhood of monks. It’s whispered that the Brotherhood knows the location of this powerful relic and has sworn to protect it at any cost.

Your mission is to search the chapel, uncover the secret within the painting, and retrieve the stone before the monks return. But be quick — there is a storm approaching. You must escape the chapel before the Brotherhood returns to seek shelter.

Please note: This room used to be called “Search for the Holy Grail” and is also in Prague.

beautiful

There's some lovely things about this room - lucky enough to play it new, and the space itself looks great. Has a strong start in terms of puzzles with linear progression, however it does fall foul of a personal bugbear of mine which is making it so dark that the challenge is more of aging eyes rather than any ability. Good clue system. A couple of things let it down for us in that the ending felt rather weak in terms of the final puzzle and we struggled to understand quite why the game then ended as it did - suspect our GM was quite inexperienced as this may have worked better with a different spiel at the beginning.

A beautiful set with plenty of puzzles and a longer than average duration which I think is as much about making sure you have a great experience in the room as it is fitting in those extra challenges.
