🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• The set design ingeniously blended medieval elements and props with cutting-edge technology, creating an unbelievably immersive experience!

• From the outset, the mission and the steps required to defeat the dragon were clearly defined.

• One of the highlights of the game was an unexpected interaction with a character that provided a "4D" experience akin to what one might encounter on a Disney ride.

• The lighting, ambiance, and special effects, especially the climactic reveal, were exceptional, leaving us with a strong sense of victory.

• Several prop triggers in the room added a touch of "magic" that perfectly complemented the overall theme.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• Due to technical issues in the room during our game, this review is based on a non-standard experience. Our Game Master had to manually activate certain elements for us, causing us to miss some puzzles that were meant to be part of the game.

• Some color elements were hard to distinguish under the room's lighting. A crucial clue in the initial room could easily be overlooked without the Game Master's guidance. It would be beneficial to have additional lighting to enhance visibility.

• Having some sort of writing pad for the game would be advantageous, especially for clues that may disappear after being revealed.

• The Game Master's hints appeared to be pre-recorded, limiting the level of assistance they could provide before potentially revealing the answer outright.
