Not a fan

Overall, this room is very well designed. The set is beautifully done and fits the magical theme perfectly, and the puzzles are solid throughout. I think it's especially great for couples looking for a fun date activity. That said, there was one puzzle in the middle that was genuinely confusing — my advice is, if you've been stuck for a while with no clue what's going on, just ask for that damn hint lol. Still a very enjoyable experience overall.

The good: More elaborate and story driven than Loo Battle, and I liked that it was (at times) more difficult. There are some good puzzles in this space. If you like Inblack rooms I think you’ll like this room. The not great: - For me, the props/tech don’t end up really pulling off the ambition of the room’s story (which is a good chunk of this narrative focused room). - I’d really like Inblack to make clues that are more than just laminated paper sheets, free of spelling mistakes, and/or not cut-off. It feels incredibly sloppy for something you’re paying 40-50 bucks for and every time something like that happens it really takes you out of it. - There were some broken props and I also got a small electric shock when touching a prop. - All in all it feels like the first draft of a room that needs a lot of polish. Also, the story starts with mentions of self-harm, so keep that in mind going in.
