The Cursed

The room itself is fine. My only problem is I played this exact room as a demo at Transworld the year before and not enough was changed for me to be able to contribute to it without giving away the answers. Disappointed to have spent money on a game I'd already played.

Set design was good, but puzzles were lackluster. Story was also weak. GM was ok. Average room where it was really only interesting when you first enter.

The set for this room was lovely, and I appreciated the puzzle design. I had fun playing this game, but there were a few tiny things t'd warn other players about. Be aware that there is one puzzle that requires a light source, but no flashlight is provided. My GM said that I could have used my phone, but I wasn't informed of this during the briefing, so I handicapped myself by keeping my phone stowed away like you're normally supposed to. When I asked for a hint, i was just given a clue to the final solution. You'll know the puzzle when you see it. There is also another puzzle for which the clue is ambiguous, and I ended up asking for a hint on it, at which point they explained the method of entry in much greater detail. 3 visible padlocks are for game maintenance and the GM had to point them out in the pre-game briefing. They should just use red locks or stickers, per convention. There are a lot of other locks to keep track of!

Fantastic set / atmosphere, tech (w/ minor issues), and story. Some puzzles had logic gaps and required brute forcing. A few times the GM gave us a detailed explanation of how to solve a puzzle as soon as we got to it...

Really interesting theme that worked surprisingly well. A lot of the puzzles were pretty unique and fun.
