📖 THE STORY

In "Mission Nain-Possible" by SOS Aventures, the government's secret services have discovered a dangerous weapon hidden within a centuries-old tree: magical gnome hats. Unfortunately, six of these hats have been stolen and ended up in the possession of Pierrette Rodrigue-Tremblay. When the hats are placed on her garden gnomes, they come to life with the intent to form a gnome army and conquer the world. As secret agents, disguised as gardeners, your mission is to infiltrate Pierrette's backyard and retrieve the six magic hats within one hour. Failure to do so will result in the gnomes taking control of the world.

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

The puzzles were highly enjoyable, offering a good balance of challenge and engagement. While they weren't overwhelmingly difficult, the abundance of tasks and limited space in the garden house setting created a sense of immersion and urgency. Solving the puzzles felt rewarding, and the overall experience was filled with fun and excitement.
One of the standout moments was a puzzle that evoked a sense of nostalgia, allowing players to relive a childhood game on a grander scale. This puzzle brought a lot of joy and excitement, capturing the essence of being a kid again.
The design of the garden shed in the room was delightful and offered plenty of visual appeal and interactive elements. It was a joy to explore and provided our group with a variety of interesting things to discover. The cleverly hidden passages added an element of mystery and kept us engaged, constantly guessing and anticipating what awaited us in the next area. It enhanced the overall experience and contributed to the sense of adventure and excitement throughout the game.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

One notable issue in "Mission Nain-Possible" was our team's experience of a lack of clear indications when we successfully completed puzzles. This created confusion among us, as we were not always informed when certain portions of the room were unlocked or opened. Improving our communication and feedback system for puzzle completion would greatly enhance our gameplay experience and prevent us from feeling lost or unaware of our progress in the room.
