Nice looking set and some pleasing physicality to it; GM competent in hosting us in English which was great. Some puzzles that did not make to much sense in logical terms and somehow managed to bypass one by inputting the correct solution by accident - also finished fairly quickly for us so perhaps not the hardest game. Definitely in mid-tourist Berlin and perhaps catering more to the non-enthusiast market than some of the other venues. Fun enough but didn't leave feeling that we'd rush back again.
