🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
Commencing a fairytale with an enchanted forest is always a captivating choice. We also appreciated a unique "entrance" that guided us deeper into the mystical realm as the game progressed.
The incorporation of a character from the magical world to engage with the players and integrating puzzles into the interaction proved to be highly enjoyable for the participants.
A straightforward physical puzzle provided a great deal of amusement.
Several small props were utilized for uncomplicated puzzles, which unexpectedly became some of the most memorable moments in the game.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
There was a puzzle prop that didn't have clear input direction. We were puzzled about why an item should be placed there instead of here. Surprisingly, it still worked and led to the finale, which left us confused.
There is room for improvement in the clarity and efficiency of how hints are provided.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
If you're into cool experiences that whisk you away to a world of magic and wonder, then diving into the enchanting adventure of a mystical forest might just be your thing. As you explore deeper into this fantastical realm, the mystery of the unknown calls out to you.
This special room in the forest is designed with everyone in mind, so both kids and grown-ups can have a blast.
