Believe the reviews. This is a wonderful experience. Unlike any game weβve played before. Wonderfully hosted. Great music, great puzzles, beautiful sets. Will be booking their new game, very soon. 5/5
This is not your ordinary escape room, it's a mixture between escape room and immersive theatre that's designed to be played remotely. Using a clever mix of video scenes and acting, it's an experience that is unique and only possible in this format. Definitely worth playing, very funny!
An absolute delight! The ideas are very original and the whole set-up is fantastic. Entertaining for both the game interactions and the soundtrack. This is a game for both first-timers and enthusiasts. Highly recommend this game!
This is an un-missable Zoom experience. I highly recommend to solvers of any level. If you think you've seen everything an escape game on Zoom can be, think again. Trust me on this one. Bring the kiddos. Original, delightful, outstanding. Can't wait to share this and recommend with my friends and family. Bravo Headlock!
This game is so clever, beautifully made, and exceeded my expectations in every way. I was laughing and smiling the whole way through. Best to go in without spoilers but everyone should give this game a try. The hosting was superb and the whole experience was incredibly fun. Imaginative, creative, and an absolute must play.
This experience is joyously silly. The whole thing plays more like a video game than an escape room, but it is all good fun. As the other reviews say, best to enter unspoiled.
Brilliantly original take on the Zoom-based escape room format. Don't Google it in advance, just go in with a smile on your face and expect to have that smile for the entire time :>
This is one of my favourite games I've played. The sets are beautiful and made with love. The story is charming and funny. The puzzles are well designed and interesting. There are musical numbers. Point and click feel with the charm of gorgeous puppets and fun puzzles! π
- Lovingly created set and story
- Great use of the online medium to deliver something original
- Fun and satisfying puzzles
Reviews by escape room review sites
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?
