We've played all the Clued Up! games and, while they won't blow you away or win any prizes for originality of set design, we've always had a good time playing them, and I'm pleased to say this was true of Carnival Collection too.
As a "collection"-based game, this room basically consists of a massively-parallel set of mini-games. This makes it ideal for a mixed ability group, or to play (as we did) as a family with kids, because it's pretty guaranteed that every member of the team will be able to contribute something to the overall team's success. In this case, that means finding 50 ducks and returning them to the duck pond (if I'm totally honest, I can't quite remember how that linked to the carnival narrative, but it didn't realy matter)
It's an independent business, and the elements are all completely original. The decoration was basic, but everything worked as it should, and the hosting was excellent - delivering a funny in-character briefing (with some terrible groaning dad-jokes) to start us off, and tiny nudges when required as we played.
