Given the names of ClueCapers' previous two games Winchintzy and Winchokey, I was surprised their third wasn't named A Curious Winheritance. Fortunately, it turns out to be set in the Winsonian Museum, thereby maintaining a good level of Winchester-themed punnage. As with ClueCapers' other games, the premise is that you're entering an unstable portal to a parallel universe, apparently similar to our own but with odd differences.

A game that never really gelled with us, and left me disappointed. While that was definitely partly down to the game, I think it was also just a game that we personally didn't connect with. I think others will have a very different experience and I think it's well worth a trip if you're in the area.
