📖 THE STORY
Your Grandfather owns a world-famous candy shop. Recently he's decided that he will retire soon and would like to find his successor. As his favorite grandchild, he would love to pass this torch to you but you must find his secret recipe through the tests he's left for you in his shop. Are you worthy of inheriting the candy shop?

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
Candy, candy, candy! That's all we saw when we entered the room. We felt like little kids again with huge grins on our faces. The set design instantly made us happy with the colorful wallpapers, numerous types of candies, and even a baking oven!
If you love puzzles then you're in for a treat (get it?)! For two people, you'll definitely need to "divide and conquer".
One of our favorite puzzles was a simple word puzzle but you'll find a wide range of different types of puzzles in this game including logic, Math, search and find, tactile and more!
The "transformation" trick at the end was a pleasant surprise to a sweet finale.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
It would be great to associate the locks to the puzzles as there's a good amount of locks to go through the "trial and error" method.
Some smaller props needed updating.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
This room is definitely a step up from their older rooms in this location. The decor and props were on point along with the way they were utilized in the puzzles. Although I have to say, I did get extremely lucky with the last puzzle as apparently there was some Math calculation (The previous creators must be a fan of Math puzzles. Every room that we've played had some Math puzzles in it.) that needed to be done but I just randomly picked the right pieces. This room will guarantee to make kids and adults happy. Who doesn't want to be surrounded by candy while trying to solve some puzzles? Perhaps you might even get a treat for your hard work? 😉
