📖 THE STORY

Having a birthday celebration should be an enjoyable experience! As a challenge, you and your friends have decided to trespass into Cheesie's Pizza, a deserted family entertainment center. There are rumors that the ancient Animatronic character is still present inside... Considering that the place lacks electricity, what could possibly go wrong... This is set to be the most amazing birthday party ever! Or... Perhaps it could be your final one...

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• Prior to stepping into the room, my excitement was already building up because who wouldn't enjoy a pizza party? And on top of that, there's arcade games to play too!

• The party's "host" delivered a great performance, and the animatronics were impressively designed. I appreciated being able to enjoy the show without it affecting our game time.

• The game exclusively relied on technology without any physical locks. The challenges involved in reactivating the deserted amusement center made for an engaging experience. Fortunately, due to our decision at the end, the game concluded on a positive note. This game is ideal for birthday celebrations. One individual, in particular, will be made to feel like a celebrity.

• The tasks were clearly defined, allowing you to track your progress as you advanced in the game. You can easily see how many tasks are yet to be completed.

• The room made efficient use of space, despite its modest size, maximizing every inch available.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• This game may appeal more to a younger audience or individuals new to escape rooms. Enthusiasts like us tend to overanalyze, potentially overlooking simpler tasks that don't feel like traditional puzzles. Some search and find tasks could benefit larger groups. The conclusion lacked a sense of celebration for us (likely due to our small group size). This feedback is not negative, but rather reflects our personal preference for certain types of games and puzzle designs.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

This is a truly unique and intriguing concept for an escape room experience. The blend of fun and unconventional elements creates a captivating atmosphere that immediately draws you in. Despite the initial impression of a playful and childlike setting, there is an underlying sense of darkness and mystery that adds a whole new dimension to the adventure.

Walking into the abandoned entertainment center, a wave of uncertainty will wash over you. What secrets does this place hold? Is it haunted by restless spirits, or perhaps there are darker forces at play, waiting to be uncovered? To unravel the mysteries of this enigmatic escape room, you must delve deep into its twisted narrative and confront the unknown. Are you ready?
