The Relic

Fun puzzles, mostly very intuitive but still challenging. Clever bonus challenges that runs throughout the game.

We enjoyed this simple small escape room. It had a few really fun puzzles that were my favorite. The signposting and feedback for puzzle triggers were a bit off leaving us a bit confused as to what just happened, but it was overall an enjoyable experience with good set design.

Room is fine and pretty standard! I liked the way spaces behind stuff opened up as you got to explore the room more. It made a single room feel a bit bigger than it was. Lots of searching. Single room.

Little bit of a scavenger hunt for this room. Lots of individual pieces to collect and utilize. Pretty solid gameplay, although nothing stands out. Overall a good middle of the road game. Did it with 2 people and difficulty felt appropriate but definitely not hard. Felt like a healthy medium

Multiple puzzles led us to keys or solutions we had already found just by searching the room, which meant we spent much of the time working on puzzles that went nowhere. Keys were just hidden around the room so anyone with even a small amount of escape room experience would be able to find them, since the first rule of escape rooms is search everywhere when you first get in. It was really disappointing from a puzzle standpoint, and we kept being confused since we thought we must be missing something. The game master disappeared for a large portion of the game, so when we asked “hey, I think this puzzle just leads us to this key we already found, can you confirm or is there something we are missing?” We were left for minutes at a time with no answer. This rooms costs the same as most other rooms with much better game play, and it’s also only 45 minutes. Bleh.
