📖 THE STORY

The mischievous elves have been naughty this year and locked up the "Naughty & Nice" list. We must solve the puzzles and clues that they have left behind to restore the Christmas spirit before time runs out!

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• Full disclosure, I have a serious addiction for Christmas. When I entered this room, it felt like December 25th. Not only was the décor impeccable, the room even smelled like Christmas!

• Although the space was quite small, Ocean State Escape was able to utilize every inch of the room and still surprised us with lovely “reveals”.

• Even though the room has been running for a few months already, the upkeep was great. Everything still felt freshly painted and nothing needed any repairs.

• The mix use of physical locks and tech made the experience a fully satisfying one.

• The puzzles were different, clever, and entertaining. We really enjoyed the fact that everything pertaining to Christmas was utilized from lights to music to physical props.
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• It would be nice to hear the actual music playing along with the puzzle aspects as it could add more immersion to the Christmas spirit.

• The “hint” papers could be better designed to be incorporated into the story.
  

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

Due to the size of the room, we would suggest 2-3 people being a comfortable team. However, don't let the size of the room fool you, there’s a lot to do! If you haven’t done escape rooms before, you should still gather a bigger team. This room is a joy to play especially with family or if you love the holidays. We can’t wait to see what Ocean State Escape does with their new room - “Mummy’s Curse” as they seem to step up their game every time we return for a visit!

🔎 HINT
