Decent attempt at an ARG-esque puzzle experience, hindered by poor narrative development and some immersion-breaking moments that could have benefited from more sandboxed web interactions. The game is schedule with a live host, which wasn't really utilized at all and seemed highly unwarranted. A few cool elements but lots of room for improvement.
Brilliant game which blends video, the internet and a live host for support. The story rips along at pace and gets murkier by the minute. Excellent peripheral infomation along the way, so larger teams have additional information if they want but it doesn't hold back the smaller teams. We played as a 2 and didn't share the screen and this worked very well.
Great value and disturbingly believeablt too. A must play.
Less of an escape room and more like a mini-ARG that is linear and can be completed in an hour by a small team. Only a little bit suspension of disbelief is needed to make you think that you're tracking real people's histories on real websites and finding a real conspiracy. Definitely make sure that you test Zoom screensharing and audiosharing before you begin; it's a lot more fun if everyone's mostly working off the same screen.

Overall, a fun and exciting experience with just enough of a dash of drama to keep us all excited from start to finish. If youโve ever wanted to take centre stage in a digital mystery, this will be right up your street. But be carefulโฆ Somebodyโs watching you!
