📖 THE STORY
Your team is employed to break inside of a morgue to steal the remains of a deceased man. But there is a catch, the morgue has onsite security 24/7, so you need to assume the identity of an AC repair man, cleaner, or other employee in order to gain his trust and be granted access. Make sure not to act too suspicious or he might just kick you out!
🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
The game almost begins a head of time, when you receive an email explaining what to do prior to arrival, including a password to enter the side building.
Having each team member be given a unique identity is quite unique and something I have only experienced in a couple of other places. It is a fun concept with real time consequences, because the people taking on those roles will have their own responsibilities and actions to carry out.
Interacting with the guard was nerve wrecking as we had been informed earlier that if he gets suspicious of us then he would remove us from the game. As it was, we managed to keep his suspicions at bay and carry out our assigned tasks. But credit to the actor, he didn’t make our time with him easy, we often had to think on our feet in response to his questions and actions.
The game provides a really engaging, high adrenaline, story arch that takes a real twist at the end. We were literally running for our lives to escape!
The overall design, layout, and construction was very impressive and definitely resulted in a journey that was more expansive that we had imagined. Many genuine tools and items were used to make the experience as immersive as possible.
The riddles were challenging and often promoted cooperation between team members. We appreciated that some of the puzzles could only be performed by the person taking on that specific role.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
Nothing to mention here.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
If you like the idea of light role play and light interaction with an actor then this could be the game for you. The puzzles are not always easy, but this adrenaline filled escape room is highly recommended as a must play experience. We enjoyed everything about this game. In fact, it was our favorite room from a 24-room trip to the Netherlands.
