📖 THE STORY
It is a peaceful day in the year 1975 when the always quiet Leiden is startled by a mysterious kidnapping. In broad daylight, a 5-year-old girl is kidnapped when her parents lose sight of the girl for a second. When they realize that their beautiful daughter is gone, all alarm bells will go off, they will find her no matter what! Days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months and months turn into years, but no one ever hears from the daughter again. Despite the incomprehension of the parents, the police pull their hands off the missing person after years of searching. The parents never give up and now think they really have found the house where their sweet daughter has been stuck all this time.
You go in with the Chadwick family to see if their daughter has really been there all this time, be careful... no one knows what you will find there.
🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
We were really impressed with the scale of the room. We were not expecting it to be so expansive from the outside. The design and construction is very close to representing a real home, so immediately you can begin to feel the immersion.
Towards the end of the game there is a plot twist that shocked us in a really good way, leading to a genuine ‘wow’ moment.
We enjoyed the cooperative nature of many of the puzzles. Having puzzles which require two or more team members to complete is always something we appreciate in games. The puzzles occasionally also had us moving back and forth through the rooms, which is another feature we enjoy encountering.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
Although this is supposed to be a spooky room, we didn’t really feel the tension for the most part of the game. I wouldn’t say our team especially loved horror rooms, but we left craving more jump scares or spooky/scary moments.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
This is a thematic room with some really interactive puzzles and a good story arch which engages you right until the end.
