My wife and I played this game virtually and really enjoyed the gameplay and puzzles.  Creative and logical, the gameplay was great and the gamemaster (Joel) was supportive, engaged, and fun!  Strongly recommend playing this game!

We didn't expect much from this game because the price was so low for a live-hosted game, but we decided to chance it.  Turns out, it's worth more than what they charge!  We really enjoyed the game, the host, and the puzzles.  Would recommend.

We really enjoyed this game.  It is a pretty basic room with quite a lot of traditional locks.  But the avatar is super pleasant, and kept the action moving along.  The puzzles are pretty traditional, but there was enough variety that they played to the strengths of all the members of our team.  Definitely on the easier end of things.  But after an ignominious defeat last weekend, we needed a fun, feel-good experience, and this definitely fit that bill.

Very enjoyable room with some excellent puzzles and top notch presentation by the great William Puttz. For the price they charge, it is a must-play for escape room enthusiasts in my opinion.

While we have done a few escape rooms before this was the first room we did remotely with the help of an avatar. We were positively surprised as to how well it worked and really enjoyed the experience. It took us a moment to get used to giving instructions and navigating someone through the room but Joel did a great job as an avatar, he didn’t reveal too much but subtly lead us in the right direction when we had overlooked something and were stuck . The puzzles worked well, the room  -though small- was well made, Joel was a super friendly host and it was excellent value for money. All of us (a team of 5 age 12-55, 2 zoom connections)  had a great time and can definitely recommend β€œThe Mystic Ruins”.
