📖 THE STORY
An anonymous letter exposes compromising photos, with a ransom demand attached. Refusing to give in, you and your team set a trap — but it backfires. Knocked out and captured, you awaken in the blackmailer's eerie dungeon. Now, you must outwit your captor, solve puzzles, and recover the incriminating photos before they ruin your life. Can you escape before time runs out?
🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
The theme was definitely a standout feature for us. After playing numerous escape rooms, it's refreshing to encounter something so unique and memorable. Despite the outrageous story and inevitable hilarious moments, the game maintains a serious tone, reminding us that completing the mission is the ultimate goal.
Alongside the strong narrative, the set design is dramatic and immersive, packed with more 'toys' than some adult stores! Naturally, we couldn't resist a bit of playful exploration — and the provocative movie playing on the TV certainly served as an amusing distraction (we're sure that's intentional!).
The puzzles strike a great balance between cheeky, saucy tasks and more traditional escape room challenges, ensuring both laughs and brain-teasing moments. We particularly enjoyed the hands-on interactions with the props and those puzzles that encouraged us to pay closer attention to the TV ... if they ask us to watch, it'd be rude not to 😉.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
Our biggest gripe was the overall condition of the room, which is definitely showing its age. Worn furniture, damaged props, and scuffed walls — particularly the photo frames — detracted slightly from the immersive experience. However, one could argue that this adds to the sleazy atmosphere the designers were aiming for.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
"Blackmail" is designed to shock and amuse, blending racy visuals with inventive puzzles. For players with a sense of humor looking for something edgy and unconventional, this game is an absolute blast. Just remember — this is strictly adults only!
