📖 THE STORY
You join the production of "Romeo and Juliet" by The Inner City Amateur Dramatic
Society to support them from behind the scenes. Today is their big day, but they are having some trouble. Even though they face many challenges and obstacles during the performance, the show must go on! Can you find the solutions to each challenge and lead these amateurs to a successful premiere?
🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
I loved that the story and setting were unique and original. The narrative was very whimsical. It made us laugh a lot. Since the game had no time limit, I enjoyed the story and immersive experience without the rush to escape.
The puzzles were clean and fit well with the unique story. There was a wide range of puzzles. Each puzzle satisfied us a lot when we solved it. I love that the story guided us on what to do next clearly. Even though the website says this room is more narrative-based and has fewer puzzles than the other games the company offers, while those are true, I think the game still has a good number of puzzles to enjoy the experience.
The flow of the game was excellent, and especially the ending of the game is something special and fun that you have to experience on your own.
The interaction with our friendly game master was so much fun. This particular game requires interaction with a game master a lot, so the game master is watching players all the time. If any players are stuck with any puzzle, the game master can guide them.
Next Level Escape is in the heart of Sydney's central business district. It is close to the Sydney Opera House and easy to access by public transportation.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
One thing that missed the mark during the game was that I could hear the voices of the people playing in the other room.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
"The Show Must Go On" does not have a 60-minute time limit like a regular escape room. Although it may not have the thrill to escape within the time limit, this narrative-based game is fun, unique, and original. I believe the game is for everyone, from a beginner to an enthusiast, who wants a joyous immersive experience, especially for those who love a game with a unique narrative or GM interaction. It is also family-friendly. So, if you visit Sydney, why don’t you be a part of Romeo and Juliet by The Inner City Amateur Dramatic Society?
