📖 THE STORY
Keldore's third use of his Evil Summoner revealed a looted moonshiner's cabin in the Louisiana swamps. The Summoner found a witch with a temper like Keldore's. Local resident Budrow accidentally entered the swamp witches' territory while seeking a rare ingredient for his Southern Swill. The witch cursed him, transforming him into a grotesque monster. We need your adventuring party to explore the cabin and handle this threat. Can you take on this task?

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
The Game Masters remained fully in character, enhancing the immersive experience from the start. We felt as if we had been transported to an ancient town's pub, where we were introduced to a storyline and informed about the portal we would be exploring.
The clues provided for the puzzles were really clear, allowing us to progress through the game seamlessly.
In the latter stages of the game, there was a cleverly designed mechanism that enabled us to retrieve an item, perfectly aligning with the theme.
The instructions we followed to uncover what happened to the local character, Budrow, and how we could assist him were logical and aligned with our mission.
There was a torch puzzle that utilized the torch in a novel and innovative way, which we had not encountered before.
We appreciated the uniqueness of this escape room's theme, and the most remarkable aspect was the unexpected twist at the end!
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
It would be beneficial to have the "character" who provides hints or storyline elements audible in the second room as well, so participants do not miss any information or need to run back and forth to hear the messages.
One of the puzzles offered too many visual clues, which led to confusion. We didn't actually use some of the clues in room 1 but was able to solve it based on the clues solely in room 2.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
This room was an absolute blast! It exuded a thrilling mix of mystery and eeriness (not quite horror, but the atmospheric lighting and sound might spook those new to creepy rooms) and gave us an exhilarating adrenaline rush as we uncovered the truth behind the swamp thing. We absolutely loved the GM's performance at the start and the character voices that enhanced our gaming experience throughout. We highly recommend checking out this game when you're in Vegas!
