Terror Stories Valencia: Paranoia

As ranked in the top 50 of terpeca in 2025 we had high expectations but this experience was disappointing. Right from the initial interactions, game mastering seemed poor and the set showed major wear and tear. One player was supposed to be locked in a straight jacket yet the actor didn’t lock it correctly leading to confusion, the set throughout was very worn, furniture not screwed down, and overall props felt cheap. Puzzle flow difficult as when one task completed it wasn’t immediately apparent what came next. There was a nice acting sequence involving some improv with an inmate but overall the acting scenes were quite weak and seemed randomly thrown together rather than coordinated with lighting. Repetitive sound design. Lack of story flow and progression. A number of puzzles felt particularly mundane with a saturation of locks and few electronic mechanisms to be found.
