I don’t… understand. Clearly a lot of money has been put into the design of the actual board game, it’s got some beautiful art and it’s nice that it’s fully functional, even if it’s just basically Ludo. But it’s like an afterthought. Playing the boardgame is entirely separate from the puzzles, you do not have to do it.
Every piece of this was just about putting things into a website. Puzzles range from “okay” to “tedious”, and the story was… fine.
Why is it themed about a board game if playing the board game is irrelevant?? It’s such a good concept and I’m so thoroughly let down by it. I feel bad giving it such a low review, but the marketing gets your hopes so high for what it could be. I think if I expected less I would be less frustrated.
One of the best at-home escape rooms we’ve played and a lovey change from the purely paper-based ones we usually do. The box and its contents are all super quality and gorgeous. I assume they have addressed the production issues reported by earlier reviewers because our box was perfect. Great mix of puzzles, all well themed and fair, and just the right level of challenge for us (I can imagine some more hardcore puzzlers might find it a bit on the easy side)
