🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

The set design was stunning and gorgeous, making us feel like we were transported into a fairy tale story with the stone walls of a castle full of vines, waiting to be found.
Animatronic characters not only guided us through the experience but also advanced the story in an immersive way that made us feel like we were part of the story.
This was an all-tech experience with puzzles that left us in awe for their creativity and blended into the environment and fit into the story. The puzzles also were designed to encourage teamwork and group effort.
One tech puzzle that stood out had a nice hint mechanism in it that rather than tell us an answer, had the puzzle change slightly to nudge us in the right direction.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

This was an amazing experience with no major misses.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

This was a fully immersive experience with its deep storytelling, breathtaking room design, and beautiful animatronics that we would expect at Disney. The narrative was engaging and we continued to see it unfold with cutscenes throughout. The puzzles blended into the environment and fit right along with the story. The game says it could fit 8 players but there were some areas that even with 5 players, it felt like it was tight. Anyone who appreciates a beautiful set design, a deep immersive experience or a fantastic medieval adventure should not miss this room. For the Kingdom of Merinthia!
