Son Seekers

I brought a friend here with a Groupon that got us 20% off.

Story

Rescue your son from The Upside Down before sinister beings cross over from this other dimension.

Puzzles

I remember there being a decent variety at an engaging difficulty level, tied in to the decade the TV series it’s inspired by is set.

Mise-en-scene

I haven’t seen Stranger Things, but the β€˜set’ here seemed on the mark.

Final Comments

I didn’t mind this one: not the best, not the worst. We got out with 5 minutes left, a few clues pushing us towards the victory. I’d recommend a team of about 3.
