The Inheritance: Mystery Room

This was my least favorite escape room of over 40 that I’ve done at this point. Not only is the room itself poorly planned, but there really isn’t a story. I find it incredibly frustrating that they’re giving you some thing at the beginning, that is technically a list, but that list doesn’t actually mean anything. You do need it throughout the game, but the order that you need it in doesn’t make any sense. Even within a given paragraph, it might be end, beginning, middle. As far as when you use it. Which doesn’t make any sense. The story doesn’t flow at all, a lot of the puzzles don’t do anything, so you spend time solving them, only to find that they don’t relate to anything at all. Also, no mics in the room is insane, walkie-talkie only means the GM can’t step in to let you know you just have to pull way, way, way harder. I’ve also never had to use my phone in a game, that’s super weird and unnecessary.

It was a lot of fun and Will did an awesome job!
