🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
Upon entering the room, we immediately experienced a sense of tranquility. We appreciated the authentic Japanese elements integrated into the game, such as the ninja star, scrolls, and tea ceremony. It is evident that the game designers invested significant effort in researching the daily lives of ninjas.
The physical challenges we encountered were highly enjoyable, as they mirrored the obstacles a ninja would likely face to pass their tests.
We were particularly impressed by the incorporation of Japanese cultural characters into the puzzles, which enhanced the feeling of being in a traditional Japanese village.
One puzzle reveal included an element that felt "magical," which we found to be a brilliant addition to the theme.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
The finale appeared somewhat hurried and could benefit from a more celebratory atmosphere. We were unable to physically place the crucial item needed to trigger the conclusion, yet it prematurely indicated our escape. The Game Master mentioned that proximity was sufficient, but this diminished the sense of completion.
