Legend of the Pines

The GPS location in Waze was weirdly incorrect but worked fine in Google Maps

We had a blast! I love the set up. I love the very last part of the room, but I will not give it away.. and our game master was awesome!

Good set design and immersion, but suuuuper dark. Some cool moments, flow not bad once you get nudged a little. Attentive GM. Overall I’d say 3/5 stars.

It was a bit dark even after the lights came on. The whole two-finger rule and don't force it doesn't necessarily apply here. It didn't seem like the GM was paying attention much because I had done some thing ten minutes prior and she didn't say anything. Finally, she did.

Our GM Chris was great! His clues were helpful but didn’t give anything away. He was friendly and talkative, and gave us great recommendations for other games to play.

This was the most immersive and authentic escape room I’ve done. It is a relatively dark room, so flashlights are helpful. Many of the puzzles were really unique and creative. I’m definitely going to try Solve It Sherlock’s other rooms!

A wonderfully well themed room based upon the New Jersey folklore centered around the Jersey devil. This room is very immersive and even goes to the lengths of being scented like a forest. Overall, this room is great for beginners and experts alike. The storyline is well thought out and has a nice flow.

Legend of the Pines is a fun game built around the story of the Jersey Devil. I appreciate when designers try to tie their games to local lore or history, and appreciate it even more when the game really works! This one takes place at the cabin of a park ranger who has been studying the Jersey Devil for years. Can the clues they leave behind help you prove the existence of this elusive mythical creature? The set is very well done with attention to detail, right down to the scent of the pines. The ranger’s cabin is exactly what you would envision one to be like. The finale to the game made excellent use of the space. It’s worth playing just to experience this delightful reveal! Puzzles were easy to medium difficulty with a mix of searching, observing and logic. Newbie-friendly but enjoyable for experienced players, too. One puzzle gave us a challenge with interpretation of the cluing and use of the puzzle device. There is opportunity to improve it, especially since the GM acknowledged it’s an issue. Legend of the Pines is a good game for anyone looking for a good balance of scenery, puzzles and a story with local flavor. Book this game and tell them you found it on Morty.

The set design of this room was truly amazing and felt immersive. The ending was truly satisfying.
