📖 THE STORY

You've been hired by the bride's parents to dig up dirt on the chap that their daughter Emily is about to marry. There's only an hour left before the wedding bells are tolled. What will you find out and would it be enough to stop the wedding?

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

This was a fun theme. Certain parts of the room made it feel like we are on a reality TV show.
There are definitely moments when we are surprised by the "change of scenery".
A twist in the storyline is always a plus.
Although there are no live actors, AIM Escape did a great job of replacing that with videos throughout the game. That really added to the humor aspect of the experience.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

We had to skip one of the puzzles in this room as it was quite impossible (at least for us) to solve. It could have been a fun puzzle if the solution could be altered so that it could accept a wider range of answers.
Some props needed maintenance. One of them was really difficult to see and we needed that particular clue in order to solve the puzzle.
This game had a lot of color puzzles. This could be an issue for people with color blindness. The various lighting also made it difficult to determine the colors.
There were several times we were unsure if something opened or not. Adding either a trigger sound or light would definitely help.
We were unsure how the last puzzle correlated with the final answer input.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

If you are planning a bachelorette or bachelor party, this can be a fun idea. This room can easily accommodate a large group. You'll definitely feel a progression of the storyline being incorporated into the set design from the first room to the last. The puzzles are non-linear so everyone could work on something at the same time. From an enthusiast's perspective, the puzzles need better reasoning and flow. But if you're just looking for entertainment with a little "kinky humor", you might want to check yourself into this party.
