🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
The storyline feels like a familiar horror movie until a sudden twist happens. As detectives, we get to investigate a paranormal mystery that continues to unveil a shocking plot as we dug deeper.
The set design was what appeared to be a basic apartment but the designer had a few tricks up their sleeve. There were definitely a few jump-scare moments. I would say our teammate Yolanda probably got the most out of these surprising moments.
There was one puzzle (or should I say "special effect") that surprised us as we never saw this type of representation anywhere else before. It gave all of us goosebumps after we discovered what was to be revealed.
The set design had a unique way of "separating" teammates to create a more scary moment for some but for others, I would call it "enjoyment".
The puzzles for "The Warrant" are where this game shines in the creative department. There were some familiar challenges but presented in a unique way.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
Perhaps adding a piece of furniture that one of the puzzles could be assembled on could be helpful as it was quite difficult to see in the dark room and maneuver the pieces on the floor.
The last room felt a little "distant" from the rest of the decor of the game. It lacked that horror vibe and a sense of urgency. The "character" in the game should be able to push the players through "time is running out" or a bit more special effect to make the final escape with some added adrenaline.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
Although a majority of this game was played in a dim-lit setting, there were enough candles to illuminate the room and contribute to the ambiance of the experience."The Warrant" was a solid game with a couple of jump-scares and a strong storyline. There was a good amount of puzzles that required strong communication between the players. We felt very comfortable playing this game as English-speaking players and I would say it might be even more fitting for English players rather than Chinese players. Some puzzle solutions might actually be easier for English speakers. Regardless, if you are in Taiwan and want to experience a spooky but fun night, you'll want to give Limitless Escape Room a visit!
