📖 THE STORY

The sole method of entry into this paramilitary headquarters is to be apprehended and brought in as captives by the guards. This is your current situation. Your task now is to escape from the prison, infiltrate the High Security Armored Vault, and obtain the XJ7 missile blueprints along with all Top Secret Archives. Proceed with urgency.

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• Initially, there was an interesting method to "infiltrate" the headquarters. We appreciated the "trickiness" of the early puzzles, as solving them was quite satisfying.

• Even though a particular device had to be used several times in the game, it fit well with the room's theme. As spies, it felt essential to be able to crack codes and input them for "rewards".

• The puzzles and clues in this game were definitely linked to wartime. We were pleased to see such a variety of decoding strategies in a single game.

• Unfortunately, one of the devices was broken by the group before us, so we couldn't experience its functionality. The owner demonstrated it to us afterwards, and it certainly felt like something from many spy movies.

  
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• We were unable to fully experience the ending due to a malfunctioning prop. However, if it had worked properly, the smoke and laser would likely have been an impressive special effect for the finale.

• The last room seemed somewhat empty compared to earlier parts of the game. It would be beneficial to add more puzzles to engage more players, as currently, only one puzzle can be solved by one person at a time.

  
  

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

If you are into decoding secret codes, have a passion for history, and thrive on the excitement of spy missions, then this is undoubtedly the game for you. The experience immerses players in a thrilling environment where the art of espionage and the intricacies of cryptography come to life. We found ourselves fully engaged as we tackled various challenges that required us to think creatively and strategically. The thrill of gaining access to the headquarters and successfully infiltrating their computer system was exhilarating. However, we felt that if the game could conclude with a more robust and complex puzzle, it would elevate the entire mission to a level of perfection. Overall, this game is a fantastic blend of historical intrigue, intellectual challenge, and cooperative gameplay.
