Le Vol du Manneken Pis [The Robbery of the Manneken Pis]

We found the Manneken Pis but it wasn't the most pleasant experience. In fact, the room's attitude towards us would best be described by the statue itself. The hosts warned us that this room is quite old and "easy" and even offered to switch us to another room, but we insisted on playing something Brussels-themed. I guess we really asked for it then. The room is very short but it wasn't easy for us. When you play many modern escape rooms, you stop paying attention to combination locks not thinking they would have clues on *them*. That is how we ended up spending around 30 minutes on a single puzzle, partly because we were stubborn but also partly because the GM took a *looong* break from listening to our calls for help, which is not great GMing. The final puzzle is one of those "track the guy's steps on a map of Brussels" that we've also seen in a Paris room since, which I now believe to be a staple of "touristy" rooms. It's quite difficult to figure out what it wants from you and not in a good way. You can get to it without having found all the necessary objects, which is quite egregious flow-wise.
