📖 THE STORY

Nancy just got a case that led her to an apartment in River Heights. She received intel that a shipment of dangerous chemicals has just been delivered to this place. Will she find the evidence she needs before the culprit gets home?

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

  • At first glance, you might not think there's much to do in this room but there's a LOT of puzzles.

  • We were quite surprised by how "hidden'' the chamber was...

  • The finale had a cool puzzle (although we ran out of time and didn't actually get to experience it) that went hand in hand with the theme.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

  • Some props felt like they needed updating.

  • There were a lot of riddles in this room. Some were just displayed on the wall. We didn't feel like that was relevant to the story. Perhaps if the solution would give some aspect on who's apartment we were in, their motive and how we could save the day would be better than a random answer. It was also difficult to give clues to riddles without just giving out the solution for the game masters. We suggest changing some of these puzzles out to other types of puzzles.

  • One physical puzzle would be difficult for GM to give hints too. Only one person could attempt it at one time. The room should really provide some visual hints just in case it's not solvable by the group or else they might not get to enjoy the rest of the game.

  • There was a puzzle that we had to retrieve way too many props in order to get a message. It was also in a space where only one person could really work on it. It felt like a time filler puzzle to us.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

This room might work better with a larger group as you can work on the puzzles simultaneously. Some puzzles are less time consuming than others so our suggestion to the creator would be to shorten some of time consuming ones especially if it could only be done by one person at a time. Players who are good at logic and riddles might have a slightly easier time with the puzzles in this room. It was quite challenging for two players as it attested our dexterity and patience.
