📖 THE STORY

It's time to prove your loyalty and rescue our caliphate from the clutches of the dastardly Dark Khalif and his wicked schemes. That sneaky villain has already taken over the neighboring Caliphates and sent our Sultan packing. Now, he's plotting to turn our beloved land into his own fear-fueled empire. But guess what? You're the heroes we need to stand up, give him a taste of his own medicine, and save our land from this looming catastrophe!

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• Upon embarking on this adventure, we were immediately whisked away to a scene reminiscent of Arabian Nights. You might come across Abu, a genie, and possibly even a truly magical device.

• Some tasks in this game made us feel like Aladdin and Jasmine. There were enchanting moments where we had to pause and savor the surprise, momentarily forgetting about the time limit to complete the experience.

• The puzzles in this room were cleverly crafted, using props in unexpected ways.

• The puzzle progression was excellent. Most were task-based, but you always had a clear idea of what to do next.

• The designer ingeniously incorporated the room's decor for hidden clues that, once found, provided "aha" moments.
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• Certain locks seemed out of place in this set design.

• One of the mechanisms was quite challenging to operate. Providing clearer instructions would be helpful instead of needing a clue. Perhaps having more players might make it easier.

• One puzzle had light indicators that confused us. Even with an incorrect placement of a prop, the light would turn green.

• The game could have benefited from a more conclusive and narrative-driven ending, especially since the room already had a mechanism for a reveal.
  

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

Brandon's favorite Disney couple is undoubtedly Aladdin and Jasmine, a pairing that embodies adventure, romance, and the enchanting allure of the magical world they inhabit. You could truly sense the thrill radiating from him as we embarked on our journey through this captivating universe. The deeper we ventured into this magical kingdom, the more we experienced moments that truly resonated with the essence of the Disney characters we cherished. As a fellow Disney enthusiast, I found immense joy in the fun we shared during our gameplay. Each level we completed felt like a new chapter in a story. The whimsical elements of the game, combined with the nostalgia of our favorite Disney moments, created an unforgettable experience that transcended mere entertainment.
