📖 THE STORY

Someone has stolen the world-famous art piece by Leonardo Da Vinci, the "Mona Lisa"! The Louvre is offering $50 million dollars as a reward for anyone who can bring it back. Your intel is telling you that Vladirmir Stepanov, a dangerous businessman could be hiding it in his private gallery. Since the reward is extremely high, you decided to give it a shot. But if you get caught, it'll be all for nothing. Time is of the essence!

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• The room was quite spacious just like an art gallery should be.

• There were 4 of us and we each took on a maze puzzle (4 in total) which was quite fun since we felt like we had a little internal competition.

• There was a mechanism in the room that was cool to watch when triggered. It felt like a secret prop that was hidden by this private art collector.

• You actually got to read a little history behind the items/paintings in the room. It was a smooth way to transition them into puzzles.
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• The ambience/lighting felt the same throughout the game. We thought perhaps at the end when we triggered the painting something would have changed. There was also no sound to accompany the experience. It was missing a "wow" ending.

• Being that this is a single room experience, we completed it quite quickly. Secretly we wished there were more puzzles or something that would give a secret reveal. Although I think previously the room did have more puzzles as there were some props in the room that we didn't use and the GM has informed us that those puzzles no longer work. We think it's best to take it out or fix it as currently it's seen as more of a red herring.
  

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

This game could be a great beginners room for people that want to attempt an escape room. Although it's more on the traditional side, you'll get a sense of how to associate items with each other and how some standard escape room puzzles work. For enthusiasts, it might be on the easier side, but you'll still get that lock opening satisfaction. Take what you absorbed in this room and give their "Star Trek: Quantum Filament" a try!

ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO
