huge leaps of logic, the final answer did not male sense even after we looked up the answer

Avoid this game.

This could have been a great game but it is badly flawed. Without giving too much away, two of the puzzles require outside assistance using other technology. Neither of these two puzzles worked. To make matters worse, the help and hints handbook does not contain the actual answer so you could be left hanging if you are unable to contact them via Facebook to resolve the issue as we did. Another puzzle requires the correct manual entry of a very large number which took ages. Not exactly fun, just very boring for everyone.

This game was a major disappointment as we had previously played 'The Bank Jog' which is very good. Play that instead.

Logically structured online ER experience. I would say easy/average level difficulty - nothing we got really stuck on (compared to some of the other online ERs we have played) and we enjoyed it, but no puzzles that left us with that sense of delight that you look for. Enjoyable; price represents fair value for the time spent on the puzzles. 

Reviews by escape room review sites

Project Bluebook is based around UFO investigations. Whereas in The Bank Job the puzzles followed the narrative sequence of a bank heist, Bluebook is a bit more abstract, though builds up to a denouement of sorts.

Bluebook uses the same Google Forms system as Hysteria’s first online game, but specific puzzles use technology in more ambitious ways. One of those was almost a problem since the expected approach wasn’t immediately supported on either of the smartphones we were using, but fortunatel...

A few frustrating puzzles and a weak clue system meant that at times we were annoyed and our enjoyment waned. However, looking back at this game we can see that some puzzles were actually quite clever and our perseverance paid off to make a mostly enjoyable experience

Safe to say, we really enjoyed this game. Yet again the guys at Hysteria have utilised their great understanding for puzzles and their "thinking outside the box" mentality, to provide a memorable online experience.
