This game was very interesting; however, it was more for just solving puzzles than for involving the story line. We did the heir to throne room and they gave us information for about 6 different puzzles at the beginning and it was impossible to tell what we had to start with. We kept on finding new stuff and trying to figure out clues that we had no context for which had us mixing clues for different puzzles and devolving into impossibilities. Once we finally had to ask for a hint (about 25 minutes in) it guided us to answer the first clue then we quickly went through the puzzles...
One issue is that the game masters did not guide us along, it was apparent we had no idea what we needed to focus on but they left us clueless as we tried to sort through ALL of the information they gave us access to right at they start... it wasn't very logical. We basically had about 32 mins to solve 60 mins worth of problems.
Another issue is with the "game masters". Our initial game master was different than our final game master so we didn't have continuity for who was following us in the room. Additionally, our last game master didn't seem familiar with exactly where we were and what we needed to do so they weren't very helpful with what we needed to do.
We had fun, but because we initially tried to solve all of their problems without help we failed. Once we asked for a hint, that first problem led into ALL of the other problems. We were so short on time we didn't have the time to solve the next problems so we had to keep asking for hints knowing we were now short on time.
In conclusion, for this room if you haven't answered the first clue in ten minutes then ask for help because they'll just let you flounder until it's impossible for you to win. Additionally, it's all about finding clues and answering puzzles, don't expect to be too immersed in the theme. The puzzles are theme based but we weren't too worried about not being heirs to the thrown at the end and were just worried about solving the puzzles. read more
