Abigail, the daughter of puzzle master Frederic Pierson has gone missing. Richard, the private investigator that was hired by the Pierson's butler has also gone missing! Before his disappearance, he noted that himself, her father, mother, and her nanny - Julia were the only ones in contact with Abigail the week she went missing. Based on Richard's investigation, he's certain that one of them had something to do with her disappearance and the answer lies in Abigail's Playroom, one of Frederic's greatest puzzle rooms! Can you uncover the truth?

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

  • When you first enter the room, you can sense that there something lurking in the back somewhere. This room look too normal as a playroom so something else must be going on...

  • There's a few puzzles that utilized the props in an interesting way.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

  • Whenever the set design requires the use of a lot of colors due to the theming of the game, it's always best to keep in mind of what can be seen as a red herring. There were a few puzzles in "Abigail's Playroom" that immediately created confusion based on the unintentional usage of color arrangements which could also be associated with other puzzles. We spoke w/ the owner and provided feedback on how this could interrupt the game flow.

  • While playing the game, we noticed that one of the puzzles was encoded incorrectly. We brought it to the owner's attention and it was immediately fixed.

  • When we played the game, some parts were movable that wasn't supposed to be moved. This was also corrected after we informed about the situation.

  • One of the counting puzzles caused some confusing for us as it's difficult to see from people with different heights.

  • Some props need to be changed out due to the worn out status.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

"Abigail's Playroom" is an old room that was kept from the previous company. At this point it really feels like it needs an uplift to match up with all the other new rooms at this location. You're acting as a detective trying to find out where Abigail is from the clues she has left for you. If you've never played an escape room for you, this could be a good starter room for you as it's a gen-1 room with not much tech involved. We've given some suggestions to the creator so hopefully the "revamp" can bring a new look to this room in the future.
