🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
The creator managed to integrate the clue giving in a fresh and engaging manner.
The puzzles were predominantly non-linear, and given their abundance, this was the appropriate approach to room design. Often, we had to divide and conquer.
Lots of puzzles had themes related to magic and medieval times, and the solutions were also shown in a fun way.
This room featured a variety of puzzle difficulties, with the complexity increasing gradually. This heightened the suspense towards the end as we raced against the clock.
The room boasted numerous aesthetically pleasing props, enhanced by the atmospheric lighting. They evoked a castle-like ambiance from a fairy tale, with the dragon stealing the spotlight in a truly epic finale.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
One of the props in the initial room, where clue items were stored, appeared out of place amidst the dragon-themed decor.
While many puzzles were visually appealing and fun to solve, they felt disconnected from the overall theme of the room.
This game features an excessive amount of color-based puzzles, which may prove challenging for players with colorblindness. Moreover, the clues at times caused confusion, as they could be mistaken for hints related to other color puzzles.
Certain props were overly touch-sensitive, especially one that required numerous inputs. It is advised to shorten the input sequence for a smoother experience.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
The latest addition to The LOST Escape Room's lineup is truly a game-changer, showcasing a remarkable leap in technological advancements compared to their previous offerings. The intricate integration of cutting-edge technology in this new game elevates the overall experience to a whole new level, immersing players in a world where fantasy meets innovation.
One of the standout features of this game is the enhanced lighting and music components, which have undergone a significant upgrade. As players embark on their journey through the game, they are faced with a series of challenging obstacles that put their problem-solving skills to the test. The climax of the game, the encounter with the formidable dragon, is a truly exhilarating moment that delivers a sense of triumph and satisfaction.
