This was so fun and some genuinely creative puzzles which were great. A real shame that outside knowledge was required in 2 cases when this could have easily been clued around the room.
After hearing so much about this game it had been on our radar for a while and it absolutely lived up to the hype!
Puzzles galore, nostalgia and some personal touches thrown in for good measure. The only bad thing is that the game had to end!
Having met Olive before I was very much hoping she would be our host and I was absolutely delighted when she bounded out in her shell suit to put us through our paces! Her cheery and fun persona absolutely elevated the experience. Thank you! We had a blast!
