📖 THE STORY

It’s almost time for the great big Swiss fair, but oh-no, disaster! Someone has stolen the most important item, the symbol of the fair! Normally the fair’s Director could have solved the issue, but he is nowhere to be found … now the only hope left is you! Can you help recover the item before the fair is due to open?

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• The game master did an excellent job with the briefing, and his enthusiasm was contagious. You can tell he is passionate about what he does and looking after us.

• Escape Quest has crafted an original story that had us excited even before we entered the room. Although the plot doesn't have any twists or further developments, the fun factor remains high throughout.

• The game is divided into two distinct parts: the director's office, which is rather drab, and the Fair, which bursts with a vibrant carnival theme, complete with bright colors and game stalls.

• Many of the puzzles are themed around carnival games, alongside traditional escape room challenges like decoding, searching, and logic puzzles.
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• Despite the game's strong thematic elements, it unfortunately falls short in fully masking the office-like environment. The immersion could have been significantly enhanced with higher quality props and set design.
  

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

"The Fair" is probably Escape Quest's most enjoyable room, suitable for groups of all experience levels. While it doesn't feature many cooperative challenges, which might leave larger teams with less to do, we found it perfect for just the two of us. Playing as a duo allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience and enjoy every moment.

ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO

• There are parking spaces in front of the entrance, on the roof of the adjacent building, and around the building for visitors.

• There is a lobby area with comfortable seating and some drinks for purchase.

• There are some small puzzle boxes and other escape room adjacent items for sale too.
