Great set but was looking quite tired. Some fun interactive puzzles which were cool, and the ending was a fun surprise.

Some of the puzzles didn't have very good signposting and were quite marmite in my team, but overall a cool set and well-themed puzzles.

Amazing looking room with lots of details 

Was differently on the harder side of things with maybe couple things not making much sense but still a good room with loads to do

After completing all of the other Basingtoke games at Exciting Escapes and whilst still waiting for Disappearing Duchess part 3 we took on the Christmas game Operation Naughty or Nice. As with all of this brands games, there are lots of padlocks; a mix of numerical and normal key locks. Most of these are signposted (also like in previous games) with little pictures to give you a clue where to get the number or key from. We managed to solve all the puzzles with only a few nudges on certain things from our games master. It was an enjoyable game with a festive twist on theming but no massively outstanding puzzles. This was my 80th game so getting a 5 star rating there has to be something really impressive - whether thats in a puzzle or how immersive the game is. None the less, I'm glad we played it befire it transforms back into the game 'a hidden past' which was our first ever game we played at the venue.
