The Neighbor

There are two (technically one) novel elements that move the game along well, function as the hint system, and is a core gameplay mechanic. Our experience of the flow was likely shaped by being a team of two. The space is moderately large and a lot of puzzle content opens up quickly which can feel a little difficult to know how to prioritize even if the actual among of content is doable. I imagine that is specific to our group size. Larger groups would have smoother and more intuitive flow.

The main game element and the structure of the space makes the room feel cohesive even when the story isn't center stage or super clear. Everything is integrated well into the set and we had no issues within the game. One effect mid game was particularly fun, interesting, and used the space in a new way, which we appreciated.

Easily the highlight. Our GM Jordan was accommodating, compassionate when we had a little in-game head bonk and needed to pause, and made time to talk shop with us after the game. Her passion was evident and it is clear the Steal and Escape really cares about player experience.

It was sufficient to keep us engaged, but because the story is being told as you are working through things and indirectly, the stakes feel lower than they could if there was a little more narrative intrigue at the start.

No traditional locks and keys, all solves integrated with the tech.

very minor, but a lock on the start was already complete before we started, so we found and solved it later with no impact- not a big deal at all and didn't impact our experience.

Just a fair amount of moving through the spaces, no climbing or stairs, but a decent amount of movement.

one segment includes a lot of flashing, there are a few spots that could feel tight for a wheelchair user.

Jordan GM was so sweet

Using the home assistance to help us through our mission

Very fun. This sounds stupid, but something about the puzzle to open space ration felt slightly off to us, but nothing that ruined it. I think it felt like we weren’t getting a lot done, but there was just alot of area to cover.

Well made, good construction.

Very kind and easy to talk to.

A couple puzzles that really thrilled us.

Interesting and simple enough.

Some lift and crouching.

It might be a little tight, but I think wheelchairs could access it ok. Parts of the room are pretty dim. Colorblindness will have a couple issues, same with hearing impaired.

Jordan was great

Audio issues in some of the rooms.

Nothing out of this world, but for what it's supposed to be very well executed.

Manny was our GM for all three games and made the experiences very enjoyable.

Too dark !
