📖 THE STORY

You and your friends are out camping in the woods when suddenly, there's a severe thunderstorm! As luck would have it, you were able to find an abandoned cabin to wait while the storm rages on... so it seems.

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• The set design for "Something Wicked!" was quite... well wicked! We love it when the game starts before we even enter the room and an eerie front porch is exactly what this room needed to stand out from any other type of cabin themed room. Right away we questioned ourselves whether or not we wanted to take shelter in there.

• The dim lighting, fireplace, jump scares at the exact right times (no live actors) really brought out that "haunted" vibe.

• There's a difficult, yet really fun physical puzzle that we had to work together on. I'm sure that the game master had a blast watching us as well.

• The narrative was presented in a journal form which was not too heavy in terms of reading, but did explain in detail the backstory. The puzzles embedded within the room was a nice touch as we actually felt like we were performing a séance.
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• One of the puzzles was a search and find in a very dim-lit area and it was really difficult to see. This challenge is great for larger groups, but was quite time-consuming for just 2 players.

• There’s a part of the game where something is “delivered” to you. It’s a neat concept, but it became repetitive and the “wow” factor dissipated.
  

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

After playing “The Legend of Pepe” and “Escape The Cape”, I would say “Something Wicked!” is our favorite out of the three. But we do favor eerie and supernatural themed games. From the perspective of a more rounded package, this room definitely has set design, sound and special effect covered. If you're not afraid of the dark, then gather all the brave souls you can find and together you might just uncover the wicked force inside this cursed cabin!
