This was a beautiful game clearly made from a lot of love and joy. The artist behind the craft has created an incredible, immersive experience that had us laughing, gasping, and cheering throughout the adventure. Fungus Among Us was such a blast that we immediately signed up for the prequel, Rise of the Fungi! I can't wait to see what comes next from Headlock in the clever, magical worlds concocted for us.
Believe the reviews. This is a wonderful experience. Unlike any game we’ve played before. Wonderfully hosted. Great music, great puzzles, beautiful sets. Will be booking their new game, very soon. 5/5
So much investment went into this virtual game.
It is sweet, clever and the story is adorable.
The entire experience was so well coordinated, and it felt as if I were playing an RPG computer game while taking part in a musical.
I want to play the prequel so bad when it comes out, several months from now.
Was great time for our group of 4! Very cute and well crafted sets. It was really neat that there was a narrative along the way (and I'm always a sucker for musical numbers) - These were things I haven't seen in any other escape room before, and they were thoroughly enjoyed by our team. If you're looking for a fun and quirky remote activity, look no further!
Amazing, THIS is how you do an avatar game.
Such a unique concept with a decent variety of puzzles. Some quite easy and others make you think (then subsequently kick yourself for not spotting the trick!). Really funny, lighthearted game with a musical theatre twist. Weird, bonkers and lots of fun!

I'd like to say there are no words to describe this game, but, firstly, that would rule out writing a review of it, and secondly, it's not true. There are plenty of words, they're just not ones I ever expected to use of an online escape game, particularly in combination: starting with 'puppets', 'mushrooms' and 'musical'. 'Wacky brilliance' ought to be in there somewhere too.
In concrete terms, this is a remote avatar game, but instead of guiding a human host around a room, you're guiding a han...
What makes this virtual escape room stand out for me is the uniquely designed
dioramas on which your journey takes place. They are colorful, vibrant, and the
aesthetic takes on a funky whimsical theme that is consistently seen and felt throughout
the whole experience. Every new scene we entered I had to take the moment to just
look around and admire the set design down to the little figurines that turned out to be
characters you would engage with in adorable text conversations.
Another facet that endeared me was the use of musical numbers that livened the
experience during transition times. The songs are catchy, hilarious, and filled with puns
that adults and children alike would enjoy. We encouraged the creator to share the
sound score with players afterwards and they are considering it!
"The Keeper & the Fungus Among Us" is a funky magical journey in a fantastical world
with a nostalgic video game vibe any person could enjoy. The creative sets engage
players and the clever use of music gives players the feeling that they were in more
than just an escape room. You became a Guardian, a hero in the making, out to stop
the evil infesting the land. Your tasks challenge your mind to not only think outside the
box but also decide what kind of hero you truly want to be. Are you up for it?
