Lots of padlocks and codes, but the unusual setup forces you not to trust your first impulse and to use senses other than your eyes. It was really fun.

Played with my parents: lots of fun; they managed almost everything on their own and only needed one clear hint once. For me it would be too easy—perfect as a beginner room for the two of them. Therefore full marks.

As the name promises: a world of shadows. In one environment you can see well, in another hardly at all. Great to use senses other than just sight for a change.
