📖 THE STORY

We need to save our uncle Cecil from jail! We must gather a batch of his moonshine for his bail money!

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• Set design was solid. With the amount of space, we still were able to feel the ENTIRE cabin. We liked the transition of the lighting throughout the rooms.

• Puzzles were unique and special effects were on point.

• Game flow was great and there were no red herrings.

• A physical step was added to a puzzle which made it more intriguing than just a “find”.
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• There was a puzzle that we accidentally triggered and solved. If this happens quite a bit, perhaps the puzzle needs to be tweaked.

• It would’ve been great if the last part of the game could be made into a final puzzle to give a bigger reveal for the ending.

• If a sound or light indicator could happen when something opened as we solved a puzzle that would be great. A lot of times we didn’t know something had already opened and was still on the same puzzle wondering what we did wrong.

• Some music would add more ambience in the latter part of the room.  
  

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

We had an awesome couple who loves escape rooms join us for this game. We worked really well together as "Klues Escape Room" also does public bookings. Our recommended group size for this room would be 2-4 people only if you have played a good amount of escape rooms before. We were able to escape with spare time left with the 4 of us. This room has a 8% escape rate according to past data. We suggest you bring as many brains with you as possible if you are a beginner escapist as you'll need all the help you can get. Their set designs are amazing and we can’t wait to try their newest room “The Curse of The Pharaoh” as it will be their most challenging room with a much lengthier play time!
