Carter's Haberdashery And The Curse Of The Ancient Gold

Super fun, very surprising, the puzzles were unique and pretty challenging, and BEAUTIFUL set.

I enjoyed the experience of the room. However, none of the puzzles felt overwhelmingly hard. The story itself was also slightly confusing, but the rooms were well themed.

CHATCOTAG was a game with incredible set design. The rooms were all beautifully detailed from top to bottom, and totally sold the Indiana Jones story from beginning to end. However, the rooms didn’t feel as full of puzzles as I wanted, and the puzzles that were there felt a little too simplistic. There were a few good ones, including one really fun communication puzzle, but by the time the room ended I was left wanting more (especially since the ending was incredibly abrupt, and I don’t think anyone expected that we were solving the last puzzle). This is a game I would recommend to smaller groups and people who want to see some really cool spaces, and who are ok with more of an experience and less of a puzzle adventure.

First, our game master was amazing! She did an awesome job and that was the best part of the experience. The game was very expansive and had great theming but it definitely was a challenge to complete with just two people. We got stuck a few times because some things just didn’t make sense to us or sometimes something would get revealed and we didn’t hear or see it.

My daughter and I did this for my birthday and we were very pleased with the game play and flow. The puzzles were fun and varied.

Very fun overall. Amy was a great Game Master. Design and artwork was top notch. Game interaction was good. A few of the reveals were not obvious, causing delays and confusion when we solved a puzzle but noticed no reveals (one reveal failed, requiring the GM to pause the time and intervene). Still, a very solid room. Thank you!

Although we’ve done similarly themed rooms, this room felt unique, fresh, comical, light-hearted & entertaining. The guidance of a lengthy journal was not required. As a result, we could all focus on enjoying the puzzles, as opposed to a teammate spending the game reading.

This is a great room! The concept is silly and fun, but the puzzles flowed well with the story. There was a few tricky puzzles where you had to use process of elimination, or really think on what they were telling you! Our GM (she was a red head, I feel terrible I can’t remember her name) was so nice — we ended up getting a miniature idol (featured in the room) for $5! Definitely recommend!

Really cool game with more rooms than I was expecting. Puzzles all connected well and made perfect sense with plenty to do for our group of 4. The decor and feeling of the rooms were really immersive. Definitely recommend!
