📖 THE STORY

Legend has it, there's a magical baseball glove and whoever wears it, will be unbeatable on the field! These stories were believed to be just rumors until the location of the glove was discovered. It appears to be in the collection of the traveling baseball museum and they are visiting your town. The private tours only last 60 minutes, will you be able to find it in time?

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

If you're a baseball fan, you will love the history and memorabilias in this room.
The first room was decorated and felt like a museum

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

The décor in the latter part of the game didn't feel like a continuation from the first part. It felt more like random furniture pieces placed inside a room. If the museum idea can be incorporated in there as well, it'll make more sense with the storyline.
Some props that were involved in a color puzzle need some TLC especially as it was hard to see.
We had difficulty piecing together clues and the logic behind some of the puzzles. It felt like some were logic leaps that would make sense to the creators but hard for the players to connect with.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

The owners of Great Escape SC are enthusiasts themselves. They took over this business not long ago. The customer service is great as they are super friendly. We've given them a lot of suggestions on puzzle ideas which hopefully will make these games and new games have a better flow. As enthusiasts, we did feel some frustration with this game but perhaps for new players, they might see things that we have difficulty seeing. If you are a baseball fan, you might just want to give this room a shot to see how well you know your stuff!

ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO
