Game Over Lisbon

This game was a bit of a disappointment to be honest. We picked a game that looked really immersive with nice set design as an introductory room for my father in law. Sadly the immersion was ruined by the loud screams from the teenagers playing the "Saw" game next door and the room played on its styling with extra darkness. The very first puzzle (this won't spoil anything, it is obvious) is doing a tangram - the search for pieces was incredibly frustrating; looking for pale wooden objects in the nooks and crannies of a dark room is not my idea of fun.

We had quite a few clues because some of the puzzles were obtuse (this was game 131, we do not normally struggle on this) including one puzzle which the GM admitted needed a clue every time because otherwise no one would get it - in my opinion that means there is a flaw in the design.

It was such a disappointment because some of the ideas were good but the flow just wasn't there. 

As usual with Game Over, the set design/build is lovely, but this game was also fun, made sense and everything worked!

Our first ever escape room, and it got us hooked. Nice, well built set. One or two puzzles that we didn't get, but looking back, not sure if that was the game or us!

The room looked like it would be fun in real life, but we just had a bad avatar.  You know, the type who will ask you for confirmation for everything and thinks they're doing you a service by moving the camera slowly.
