THE SCREAM, Munch’s famous painting & the art's most haunting face, goes AWOL right before the opening of a posh Art Biennale in Venice. Art lovers are confused: anyone knows that such a well-known piece is impossible to resell! Was it taken for ransom? Or to cover up a larger story? Oh, they have NO idea…

I love the concept of using art to make puzzles. It literally changes our perspective on how we SEE things. The introduction of various famous painting and the audio tour within the museum added an aspect of educational content into the game. I really enjoyed reading about the history and the value behind these artwork. Just when we thought we figured out who's behind all this, Scarlet Envelope gave us yet another surprising twist in the ending. I can't wait for our next adventure!
It’s true, we did find Screaming Venice Art Heist particularly hard. It’s easily the trickiest in the series so far and for that reason it’s probably not my favourite. There were a few uncomfortable logic leaps, and we made a few easy mistakes early on that dragged out the puzzle solving well past lunch time (Note to Self: Don’t puzzle on an empty stomach!)
While I had some issues with this chapter, I still find the Scarlet Envelope games to be a lot of fun and their ever-shifting nature means I’m still really looking forward to the next envelope.
