🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
The diverse set designs in this game resembled scenes from a storybook, keeping us captivated throughout the gameplay with their continuous alterations.
In the game, there were some instances where the visual cues and props had a "magical" feel, as one would anticipate in a fantasy setting.
The animation at the conclusion of the game featuring all the characters from Peter Pan was enjoyable to watch and contributed to the storyline.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
Certain puzzles seemed to have been included in the game solely for the sake of being puzzles, lacking any connection to the storyline or the characters.
Certain props require improved upkeep. One of them failed to activate correctly, leading us to repeat a puzzle multiple times.
Towards the conclusion, there was a puzzle with a perplexing clue. It could potentially be unveiled once a specific puzzle is successfully completed.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
Count me in as a huge fan of all things Disney! This particular game cast us as heroes embarking on a quest to locate our lost friends (Peter Pan and his crew) and liberate them from the clutches of the villainous Captain Hook. I thoroughly enjoyed the seamless transitions between different rooms/scenes as we delved deeper into this fantastical realm. While the puzzles may not have been overly challenging for enthusiasts, they were engaging enough to keep us occupied. It truly felt like a nostalgic journey back to childhood, highlighting the magic of escape rooms. Ready to take a break from adulthood for an hour?
