Experiencia Naranja: Aladino [Orange Experience: Aladdin]

The set design is beautiful and immersive, and the atmosphere is very well done. Our gamemaster was absolutely fantastic. He played multiple roles and truly elevated the experience with his performance. You could tell he put a lot of effort and heart into it, and he was genuinely kind and professional throughout. Unfortunately, the puzzles completely ruined the experience for us. They felt random and disconnected, with no clear red thread or logical flow. Many of them were frustrating rather than clever. The hints were written in black text in dark areas, which made them unnecessarily difficult to read, and the English translations were very poor. In the end, we actually asked to be let out in the final room because we were tired of guessing instead of solving. It’s a real shame, because the room has so much potential. Even the gamemaster seemed aware that the room is in serious need of renewal and updates. With better puzzle design and clearer translations, this could be something truly special.

Only one good thing I can say about this game and that is that the setting is very well crafted. On the other hand, puzzles, story and general gameplay is ambiguous, messy and boring. It’s a real letdown considering that at this date it is one of the newest rooms from Experiencity.
