📖 THE STORY
As investigative reporters, your team is on the trail of Voltiac, a mysterious figure who turns out to be Whitmore, a scientist fallen from grace. Delve into a concealed alley and his mysterious warehouse in southwest Houston to discover the truth before Voltiac carries out his sinister scheme. Will you be able to reveal the secret in time?

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
The mystery of Voltiac and the secrets hidden in this alley captivated us from the start. We were impressed by the owners' unique creativity with this theme. The ending was unexpected, and we loved the twist.
The set design was vibrant, yet there was an intriguing "darker" element lurking beneath. The creator masterfully captured the mystery aspect of the game's theme. There were several hidden reveals that took us by surprise.
Our favorite moments occurred in the latter part of the game. The special effects and animatronics of a particular prop truly made the game stand out. Actively "assisting" a mechanism to work and eventually completing the mission was thrilling.
We relished the sense of urgency towards the end of the game. It felt like a "do or die" scenario.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
Overall, this is an excellent game. Our sole recommendation is for "search and find" scenarios: if something is overlooked or a solution is revealed but not discovered by players, it would be beneficial for the GM to provide a nudge, preventing unnecessary time loss during gameplay.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
This adventure was a lot of fun, thanks to the mysterious storyline and the jaw-dropping final reveal! We were on the edge of our seats, completely surprised until the very end. If you're a fan of Sci-Fi and love a good investigative case, you're in for an amazing time in this room. What we adore about Locktopia's rooms is how brilliantly they blend storyline, game flow, and set design into a seamless experience. To keep the ending of this game a delightful surprise, I won't give away too much. You'll just have to come and experience it for yourself!
