🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
With the dimly lit candlelight casting eerie shadows on the ancient walls, our senses were immediately transported to a mysterious realm reminiscent of an Egyptian tomb. The musty scent of antiquity hung heavy in the air, adding to the atmosphere of intrigue and excitement. As we ventured deeper into the enigmatic setting, each step seemed to echo with the weight of history and secrets long forgotten.
The story suddenly veered in a different direction towards the end, catching us off guard.
The puzzles were meticulously crafted to adhere to a specific theme, immersing the participants in a world of mystery and intrigue. As we delved deeper into the puzzles, we found ourselves embarking on a journey through time, exploring the wisdom of ancient civilizations and uncovering the esoteric knowledge encoded within these cryptic messages.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
Sound or light alerts should be included for when items are opened. Many times, we were unaware that we had triggered something.
Each player should receive a flashlight since certain areas were rather dark.
At times, we find ourselves in a situation where the solution to a puzzle has been triggered before we have completed it, leading to confusion.
To prevent players from being misled by distractions, it is important to remove clues from past events and puzzle parts that are no longer relevant from the room.
Some props required updating.
The cluing system of one puzzle required clarification as we were uncertain about its intended target.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
This room exudes an aura reminiscent of an Indiana Jones movie set, with its mysterious artifacts and ancient relics scattered around. Imagine the exploration of hidden chambers, deciphering cryptic messages, and encountering unexpected obstacles that test both wit and courage. The departure from the typical Egyptian room theme opens up a world of possibilities for a unique and engaging plot. The room's unconventional ending adds a twist that leaves a lasting impression, making the experience all the more memorable and satisfying.
