Jack has been kidnapped by the Larapius gang. He has managed to get a video call out to you for assistance. This is a vicious gang disguised as bikers. Jack's life is in your hands...

We started the game with our avatar, Jack locked up inside a jail cell in what looks like a biker's garage. He has managed to send out a rescue call over Zoom to ask for our assistance in helping him to escape. I always loved the idea of breaking out of a jail cell especially if clever tools are utilized. Some puzzles had to be altered for the online version but we're lucky to see what it would been like if we were to play this game in real life.


Since the avatar was very organized in putting the items we've collected on a large table, we didn't feel that it was necessary to have an virtual inventory system for this game. Some items that needed a closer look was send to us via the chat box in jpg format. Zoom doesn't allow jpgs to open so we did have to save individual images. That took away a bit away from the game play so hopefully the company will be able to condense the images into one file.


The set design was nicely done. The car tires, barbed wire, gears, and locks were all authentic and made the garage look real. We also discovered a few surprises along the way that would have been great to experience in real life. Our avatar also portrayed Jack in a humorous yet nervous way that had us laughing throughout the game.

We've seen a lot of these puzzles used in various escape rooms before but it's always fun to revisit them. I love that some of the puzzles also incorporated the use of "tools" which went perfectly with the garage theme. The game flow was really nice. We didn't question why a certain item was there or how a certain puzzle worked. There were no red herrings and plenty of puzzles to solve. There was only one puzzle that we had to use trial and error that did take a bit of time for one avatar to operate. Perhaps if there could be a way to identify the correct answer, it would be a nice adjustment for the online version. With a group of 5 enthusiasts, we finished in 48 minutes and 27 seconds. While solving the puzzles, we also got to learn some Portuguese which was the icing on the cake.

"Score-settling" had a unique theme and storyline that we really enjoyed. Through searching for the right tools, finding out information about the gang members (ask the avatar about the hidden Easter Eggs) and discovering the hidden secrets, we were able to eventually free Jack from the gang. Do you think you have what it takes to take down the Larapius?
