On a normal day, I can see this being 5 star for most people. It is stunning and beautiful. One of the best made sets and puzzles I have ever seen. So ingenious. 

The GM wasn’t overly helpful or enthusiastic. Didn’t set the mood and wasn’t helpful throughout. We love to take our time playing rooms but had no sense of how on track we were. We had some tech that wasn’t well signposted or work first time and that was fustrating and never signposted us when we changed course incorrectly. 

One of the puzzles towards the end didn’t work as intended plus we didn’t gel great with one of the others either.

So would say worth doing but didn’t have the flow we wanted.
