Review by Steph Norchi experienced
The third and final game of our morning here, and in my opinion this is their strongest room. It is super family-friendly and definitely suitable for kids and adults alike. Don't be put off by the spooky theme because it's a lot of fun and not scary at all.
It's a really clever game with some beautiful theming and it's very different to their other games. The puzzles are really creative and we found ourselves really immersed in the story with all of its twists and turns, at times forgetting that we needed to solve a mystery.
I wouldn't say there are red herrings, but due to there being a standard and a pro mode, not all of the puzzle elements in the room will be used for your run-through, which is something to keep in mind.
We also had a different GM for this room compared to the other 2 and it made a big difference. If there was a maglock that opened which we didn't notice, there would be a ghostly reminder or hint to guide us in the right direction. Though I will say that this was maybe a little too direct at times.
Overall a really fun room that I highly recommend for families.
