Overview of artificial intelligence

AIMost praise the well-thought-out setting and puzzles that fit the story. Difficulty is described as medium; demanding for beginners but doable if you watch the clock. The game master is consistently seen as friendly and attentive. A strict age restriction is noted; minors apparently aren’t admitted.

WeaknessesTime often gets tight at the end, which can stress newcomers. Not well suited to families with kids due to strict age limits. Some players would prefer fewer search tasks.

StrengthsVery coherent atmosphere with a gripping, unusual theme. Logical, varied puzzles well embedded in the environment. Warm welcome and a strong game master.

SecurityBriefing feels solid, oversight attentive; teams feel welcome. No specific safety issues were mentioned.

Level of fearNot designed for scares—more dark and crime-focused. According to one review, minors aren’t allowed, so not for kids.

Actors' gameNo signs of live acting in the room; interaction is primarily via the game master. The GM is described as very nice, attentive, and helpful.

Quality of riddlesPuzzles are fair, logical, and cleanly anchored to the theme, with a few lovely aha moments. Medium for veterans; tougher for newbies but very solvable. Hints arrive appropriately without spoiling.

Difficulty levelOverall a medium difficulty. Challenging and time-critical at the end for beginners; well balanced for experienced teams.

I liked the unusual theme, and there were even a few genuine laughs. The age rating feels absolutely right—no minors. The puzzles fit the setting; medium for experienced players, rather tough for beginners but doable. The gamemaster was excellent and very warm. 6.5 out of 10, would recommend.

Gamemaster was great; hints came exactly when we were stuck, without taking away the fun. The puzzles were varied and fit the store theme. We had a really good time.

Nice setting, but at times it was too search-heavy for me, with lots of small items. Still, fair and logical; only at the end do you end up racing the clock. Overall, solid.

Played yesterday: beautifully designed room, puzzles at just the right level. It got close at the end, but we still managed to succeed. Would happily come again!

Great theme, well executed and without cheap shock effects. We were nicely carried along by the story and wrapped up with the classic final sprint at the end — we made it! Clear recommendation.
