WeaknessesThe opening can feel sluggish and the finale lands too weak for some. Compared to today’s top tier, you can spot the age in places, including a few more classic tasks. The atmosphere starts incredibly strong, then loses a bit of its magic later.
StrengthsFantastic, cinematic sets with lots of attention to detail and multiple rooms. Puzzles fit the story, are varied, and deliver some genuine highlight moments. Support and hosting are warm-hearted and stay in character.
SecurityStandard briefing and attentive supervision, nothing unusual regarding safety. Despite the darkness, orientation remains good and the tech feels reliable.
Level of fearMore dim and mystical than truly scary, with no hard shock elements. Suitable for families with older kids, as long as darkness isn’t an issue.
Actors' gameThe gamemaster stays in character and guides you charmingly through the world, with hints dosed appropriately. A character-based helper adds humorous interaction and boosts immersion.
Quality of riddlesCreative, fair, and cleanly embedded in the theme, with some multi-puzzle phases. A mix of mechanics, logic, and atmospheric effects, occasionally classic. Overall demanding, but very solvable with a clean hint system.
PlotYou carry out a secret mission in a gloomy alley for a powerful dark wizard, hoping to be admitted to his ranks. The story carries through multiple rooms, even if the ending doesn’t blow everyone away.
Difficulty levelMore medium to hard; newcomers may work up a sweat. With a bit of experience or from four players, it runs smoother and you can better enjoy the details.
