🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
The set design featured peculiar props and symbols that made us feel as though we had entered a wizard's world.
There were a few moments that provided the thrill of a "magical" reveal when an object or door opened.
Each time something opened, a bell sound alerted us, ensuring we didn't miss any action.
The game included a good number of translation puzzles, all in different formats, which fit well with the room's theme.
The game's flow was great. We never had to pause to figure out our next move.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
Some colors and props require updates as a few were hard to read.
One puzzle at the start was confusing because of the "clues" written on them, which actually added to the confusion due to the labeling. Hopefully, fixing the sensors so all sides can be detected will resolve this.
A trigger had a delay after we completed a sequence, causing us to repeat it several times. Eventually, we realized we had the correct solution but just needed to wait for a bit.
One of the puzzles in the final room seemed out of place with the theme due to the prop used for the clue.
We are uncertain if we fully understood the storyline, particularly how the last action we took connected with it. Why was it necessary to do that to indicate we had completed our wizard training? Perhaps the storyline could be clearer.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
