We really enjoyed this game, it wasn't too difficult but at the same time didn't spell things out too easily. Found the experience to be quite immersive considering we were sat at home, good quick response time from the text messages and the use of audio and video helped with the immersion. It felt very high quality,  a good opening chapter, if following chapters were a bit harder that wouldn't be a bad thing. Will definitely play the next episodes.

I've played a fair amount of physical escape rooms (about 60 at the moment). I also enjoy puzzle books, board games and video games. This game isn't terribly hard. It's a good introduction game to a series - you don't want the first game to be too hard - but it was challenging enough. I had no clues but did get a time penalty for typing an answer incorrectly. I enjoyed the structure of the game and thought it was well thought out. No tech issues etc. I found it immersive and was left wanting to play the next installment.

Impressive! We felt like we were really on calls & texts with our "partner", and the story developed in a way that felt organic. A very fun night!

My work team split into 2 groups of 3 to play this and we were all so impressed. It was very professionally done and very fun! I didn’t think it would be but it was easily as good as any in-person escape room I’ve done. Really enjoyed. Really recommend!!!!

Really enjoyable! Did it as a team of four and we all brought something different to the table in terms of skills. It was pacey and fun - good storyline and interactive elements via text message. Definitely fun team building activity while remote! It ends on a bit of a cliff hanger so now I want episode two…!!

Good to do as a virtual work Christmas get together - we found ourselves really getting into the storyline. It wasn't too hard either, so we all left satisfied!

All you need to get started with the game is a mobile phone – from this point your phone becomes your direct line of contact with Kayla Watson, an investigator on the British government’s HIVE programme. Does this make me Sherlock? Mairi Holmes? I like it! I’ll take that.
