The game play for "Rescue Mission" is more like a digital experience. We are given a puzzle to solve on the first page, with a bit of introduction and a picture for the context. You need to enter the right answer in order to move to next page and solve another puzzle. Prepared hints are available at the end of the page if you are stuck during the game. The riddles are well thought, you feel like you are indeed investigating, tracking down the gang. Puzzles are quite diverse and not too hard to solve. One thing that I would suggest is to add a note before starting the game to NOT use capital letters when you enter the answer, for example “France” won’t be accepted as the right answer whereas “france” will.

The puzzle were a mix of observation and logic. It is better to play on a computer rather than a cellphone as you need to check pictures in details for some parts. At the very beginning, you are asked to download some pdf files that contain all that you need to solve the riddles, you just need to understand how and when to use them wisely. There is no specific knowledge needed to solve most of the puzzles, and basic mathematics is enough. It is possible to do everything on your own, but not very recommended since the game implicitly pushes you use teamwork for some long puzzles.

We definitely had fun playing this game, it was entertaining, it required cooperation between teammates in order to be fully efficient, and it involved different kinds of thinking processes, thus everyone in the team had the opportunity to shine at some point. The puzzles are globally more or less what we would expect to solve when doing investigation (to a certain extent). The storytelling was pretty simple and straightforward but we had fun impersonating the characters and say their lines out loud (but I guess that’s up to the teams to do this). The general atmosphere of this game is supposedly serious but with some nice puns to make us smile!
