📖 THE STORY

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
The candle-lit room had the right type of ambiance for a castle theme.
The touchscreen clue system was easy to use and saved a lot of time as normally we would have to wait for a GM to respond or type out the clues.
One puzzle had us collect pieces of information throughout the game and it was fun to be able to solve the meta puzzle at the end.
There was a good mixture of puzzles from deduction to logic to simple "search and find".
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
We didn't really get a sense of a storyline. It just felt like separate puzzles we had to solve in order to get to the end zone.
This room could have used a bit more "mystery" in terms of places to hide things (since we are in an ancient castle after all). The latter part of the room space could use a bit more decor and puzzles as well.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
This room would be great for teams that like to "divide and conquer" since there were a lot of puzzles that could be solved in a non-linear manner. The puzzles weren't that difficult for enthusiasts but could be challenging for beginners. Once you have completed the room, make sure to ask the GM to let you read the comic book that's specific to the game. It was great to be able to see where the inspiration came from and an awesome way to end the game.
