I see why this game is so loved but it didnβt quite hit the mark for us. Tech and sets were awesome. If anything, there was too much to see properly in 2 hours. I would have preferred the original 3 hour experience! Puzzling was ok. Some puzzles were really fun, many were repetitive. A couple were logical leaps. Staff was unfortunately a miss. The GM was brusque and was short with someone who asked a clarifying question. (My friend asked if the briefing room had changed. They said βI literally just said this isnβt the normal briefing roomβ) I donβt hate walkie talkies but when we asked for an hint, the GM didnβt seem to know where we were and asked us to try things weβd already done. It felt like they were GM-Ing multiple rooms at a time and reading off a script. At the end, the GM didnβt tell us our time (no in game clock) and didnβt answer any questions about puzzles we didnβt do. Unsure if they skipped them or they were ghost puzzles or red herrings. We were probably 10 mins over time. We didnβt enjoy the live actor part, but I can see others really loving it! It was just a bit frustrating because it undoes progress if you mess up. There should have been an easier way.
