Nova - Mission to Mars

Lordy what a massive room. So much content to get through you truly need a larger group and I rarely recommend this. I could get around the multi-linearity to a point but it was a bit excessive for my liking with almost every puzzle available from the beginning. This led to us spending a good chunk of time just wandering around looking for the needle-like answer amongst the haystack of puzzle items. A well designed set with a fun storyline, Nova is an exciting, tricky room. Our Game Master Seth crushed it again, truly making our experience.

What an absolute mammoth of a room in terms of puzzle content! There’s not many rooms I’d actively recommend playing with a minimum of 4 players but this is definitely one of them. Nova plays with quite an open space and a multi-linear format that can cause even the more seasoned players to become a bit overwhelmed. The awesome variety of puzzles and engaging tasks to complete around the ship were very well thought out and supported the theme really nicely but with a crazy amount of props, signage and content it can get a bit muddled in the process. A difficult yet rewarding one overall! Our GM Seth was fantastic, although I’m pretty sure he was ready to let us die in up there in space. 🥲🚀
