📖 THE STORY

The story takes places in Geneva, in the early 20th century. There are rumors about a powerful and secret society that controls everything in the shadows, thanks to influential members with very high positions. You and your friends are well renown detectives that have been recruited to investigate one of its most dangerous members: Victor de la Verrière, a very famous architect. You will need to sneak into his mansion and find evidence but be careful, as an evil architect, some traps may have been set in place. Your contact Archibald will be there to help you in this perilous mission. Good luck!


🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

  • The lobby is very well-decorated and has a lot of space. The game masters are very welcoming.

  • For a first-generation room, the mechanisms used are very clever and fun to play with. A lot of good ideas have been used to avoid redundancy of actions and it is well appreciated.

  • A good mix of search, thinking and cooperation.

  • Even if the room is pretty small, we did not have the impression to be cramped (we were 4 adult players), the space has been well optimized.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

  • Even though we did enjoy the mission, we feel like a common thread was missing for all the puzzles, they were fun thought.

  • In the end, the backstory does not seem that important when we consider what we have done in the room


🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

It is a pretty small first-generation escape room overall, with padlocks mixed with mechanisms, and the difficulty is quite low so it may be less entertaining for hardcore gamers. It is more suitable for recreational players or beginners. I would recommend a group of 3-4 players. If you are a large group of players, it may be cool to consider splitting into 2 groups and challenging each other.
