🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
I absolutely adore Disney, and Brandon is absolutely obsessed with Aladdin! The set design completely blew us away by flawlessly capturing the magical essence of an Arabian Night setting. The atmospheric lighting, intricate gold details, and delightful little marketplace instantly lit up our faces with pure joy. And guess what? To make it even more magical, there was a genie! How awesome is that?!
The puzzles were cleverly crafted with props that perfectly matched the theme. One of our favorite challenges involved physicality, and may or may not involve our little friend "Abu".
Not only will you be treated to a visually stunning experience, but also an auditory one. The surround sound was expertly synchronized with the various reveals throughout the experience, with the final ones being particularly impressive.
This room offers numerous areas to explore. Some may not be immediately visible, but discovering them later will bring a delightful surprise.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
Some clues in the room are intended for the Forbidden Tour mode and may cause confusion for players in Adventure Tour mode since these clues are not utilized.
We recommend incorporating sound or light alerts for items that can be interacted with or that unlock when a puzzle is solved.
The Game Master provided pre-written clues that sometimes did not assist us with our particular query. We propose granting them some flexibility in responding to specific clues; otherwise, players may simply opt to be given the final solution.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
"The Last Wish" provided an immersive experience that resonated deeply with us. The attention to detail and production quality within the game truly made it feel like stepping onto a movie set from a beloved Disney film.
Despite the enjoyment we derived from the game, it is important to note that it posed a significant challenge for a team of just two seasoned players. During our playthrough, we opted for the Adventure Tour mode, which was engaging and thrilling. However, our Game Master hinted at the existence of the Forbidden Tour mode, which included an additional complex puzzle at the end. The prospect of delving into this more intricate challenge intrigued us. Perhaps, in the future, we will gather a group of like-minded individuals and challenge the Forbidden Tour mode together. But for now, to all you Disney fanatics, get ready to dive headfirst into the magical world of Jasmine or Aladdin - it's your chance to go on a wild and wacky adventure you'll never forget!
