🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
Deactivating a laser alarm at the start of the heist makes you feel like genuine robbers. It definitely provided adrenaline rush.
The props in the game were intricately connected to the show.
Several "hidden spots" surprised us with unexpected elements in the game.
One of the puzzle clues cleverly used a real-life incident to provide the solution.
The sound of the police car and flashing lights at the end created an intense sense of urgency.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
As experienced players, you might find yourself wasting a clue at the start for a puzzle that lacked clear instructions on what to do. If you excel at "search and find," you might not require one.
Some props in the set design seemed like red herrings, as we didn't end up using all the information.
This game contained many "giveaway" answers that we believe could be improved with a different type of cluing system. However, you might need all available times, as there are two Math puzzles that could consume a majority of your time.
The final clue for the last puzzle could have better incorporated the props, making the final escape a bit more thrilling.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
If you've seen the show "Money Heist," known in its original Spanish title as "La Casa de Papel," you would undoubtedly appreciate the intricate and immersive nature of the game that draws inspiration from this captivating series. The game is filled with a plethora of Easter Eggs, carefully embedded references and nods to the show's iconic moments, characters, and themes. These hidden gems serve not only as delightful surprises for fans but also enhance the overall gaming experience, making it much more engaging and relatable for those familiar with the narrative.
While these Easter Eggs may not directly assist you in solving the various puzzles presented throughout the game, they certainly provide a significant advantage in shaping your thought process. Understanding the connections between the items and the storyline of "Money Heist" can help you develop a strategic mindset, allowing you to associate specific objects with particular challenges or clues. Are you ready to embrace the challenge and embark on an adventure that mirrors the heist of the century?
