Midnight In Hong Kong - Team Vs Team

It’s an original concept - team vs. team with Team Dragon and Team Tiger vying for the coveted spot of being Mr. X’s next gang overlords. However, the problem with this, like someone already mentioned in the reviews, is that there will always be a team that loses. That may sour the experience for some folks. I imagined this being an experience where each team has a separate room but with the same puzzles but it actually is the same room, with the puzzles overlapping one another. The flow feels off because of this design. The videos felt unnecessary and outdated somehow. The game master also yelled at us a little too much and fostered a lot of unnecessary animosity. I liked the room and what they’ve done with the space. Their puzzles were also clever, and sabotaging could still happen unintentionally, which could ruin an individual’s chance of finishing their personal puzzle. Personally though, I did not need the team vs team or maybe they could pair groups up with folks that they don’t know. Clever idea but falls flat in the execution.

So I appreciate their desire to try something new and different, but the problem with the team vs team thing is half of the group feels bad when they leave. Also not all the puzzles are on your teams radar, so I don’t know what the other team did and that sucks. We had something not register, which kind of sucked. Playspace was big and well themed. Not a huge fan of the videos. The GM yelled at us while in character and it was just plain NOT ok. I wasn’t even getting yelled at and I was uncomfortable. The flow felt off in this game too.

I really liked the idea of a competition room with 2 gangs competing. Everything you solve in this room, you will truly have to earn, so when you make progress here, you should feel great about it.

Might be biased since my team won… but I had a good time. Cool concept for a room and the competition aspect was fun!

Should out Truth, awesome GM. Amazing experience overall and fantastic game. I've played team v team games before and this one is the best one yet. Each side it truly equal and a great set. Highly recommend, hidden gem!

Really cool team vs team concept. So many puzzles to solve that the room can actually be repeated.

My first verses room and it was quite the experience. Loved the story line

Honestly, I don’t think this game gets the recognition it deserves. This game has to be in my top 5 for sure. Different players on different teams will have totally different experiences and it invites people to come back and replay the game. It has inspired me in how I think about creating rooms and I need to make an excuse to get 7 more people to come back and play this game.

Usually, I recommend folks doing a room with around 4-6 people, but BOY this room the more people the better. As you can tell by the game description, you'll be split into two rival gangs, figuring out puzzles throughout a giant room while trying to sabotage the rival team! You'll need a lot more than solving puzzles to be victorious and step up your strategic thinking. Because there was only four of us we had to scramble to go through so many different puzzles so it was feeling overwhelming. LOVED the theme and all the rooms at this location are amazing!
