On his deathbed, old painter F. X. Balko told his housemaid that picture of Saint Xaverius, his only masterpiece, is hiding a mystery, clues that lead to a treasure. Despite many treasure hunters scrutinized the picture and tried to crack its mystery, nobody has ever been successful. The story became a mere tale. But what if it is true? Or it is not as supposed to be? Embark on a very special adventure and find out! You and your team will get a chance to spent 75minutes in the grim church alone. Are you ready? Inspired by Saint Xaverius, first Czech sci-fi, written by Jakub Arbes (1840-1914).

This can be the first paragraph of your review, or a short summary, or left blank, as you prefer. Anything longer than a couple of lines may get truncated.
Very good atmosphere and setup. Puzzles fairly challenging, one in particular wasn't obvious and did need a prompt to complete. Ending was quite thrilling too. A very good experience.
There's some lovely things about this room - lucky enough to play it new, and the space itself looks great. Has a strong start in terms of puzzles with linear progression, however it does fall foul of a personal bugbear of mine which is making it so dark that the challenge is more of aging eyes rather than any ability. Good clue system. A couple of things let it down for us in that the ending felt rather weak in terms of the final puzzle and we struggled to understand quite why the game then ended as it did - suspect our GM was quite inexperienced as this may have worked better with a different spiel at the beginning.

A beautiful set with plenty of puzzles and a longer than average duration which I think is as much about making sure you have a great experience in the room as it is fitting in those extra challenges.
