📖 THE STORY
We are in the midst of the Cold War, with tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union at their highest. The threat of danger is most pronounced aboard the American nuclear submarine USS Triton. Deep beneath the Pacific Ocean, you and your team of Marines face sabotage, secret codes, and paranoia head-on. Will you rise to these challenges, or will it lead to a catastrophic nuclear conflict?

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
At first, it was challenging to discern the extent of what was "hidden" within this compact space. However, as we delved deeper, a significant amount of puzzles was revealed to us in a good way.
The game featured elements that prompted us to reflect on real-life scenarios, and we greatly enjoyed utilizing the props creatively to solve the puzzles.
While many traditional puzzles were akin to those found in other escape rooms, there were also several innovative ones that we had not encountered before.
The instructions and objectives were clear from beginning to end.
One of our favorite experiences was using a few props to create something that ultimately revealed a delightful surprise after solving a riddle.
The creator excelled in designing multi-step puzzles, allowing us to divide tasks and collaborate effectively to solve the final meta puzzle.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
There were some hidden items that could be really difficult to find without a "clue" as it's not typical for a player to look in that certain way. The GM also have informed that many players uses a clue on that which we feel shouldn't be counted as a clue but did delay our game progress.
The ending could use a bit more celebratory element that was build into the room rather than the GM's congratulatory ending.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
We were delighted to stumble upon this awesome game in Aarhus, Denmark. We didn't expect such creativity and so many puzzles packed into such a small area. Even though it didn't use a lot of high-tech stuff, every prop and puzzle fit the storyline perfectly and was super fun to solve. We've played thousands of escape rooms, so it's rare to find something new, but this one had some cool, innovative way of using the props that we hadn't seen before. Some of them even made us rethink if they could really be used in real life, which made the game even more immersive. Just imagine what the creator could do with a bigger budget and more space! If you're ever in Aarhus, you’ve got to check this game out. I bet you'll be just as surprised as we were!
