Theme Details (from company website)
and Rating:
Mary, just like yourself, is a scientist
who'd been a captive since birth inside
a secret scientific facility solely to investigate
the world in black and white. She knows
everything there is to know about the science
of color, but has never experienced color
itself. Now Mary has gone missing, but she
left behind a note for you that's led you
into this lab. You've created a distraction
at the other side of the facilities to occupy
your captors. Now you have 60 minutes to
find out what happened to Mary and get out
before your captors realize what's going
on. A great room for your beginners and
younger explorers, but its not easy by any
means. Recommend for 6-10 players.
Theme Rating: 4/5
Why We Loved It:
*GREAT differentiation of puzzles/clues
*clues are on a monitor prompted by the
game master that is watching you, meaning
they know EXACTLY where you are in the game
and can help you! (aka: no waiting around
or explaining to them)
*theme was intentional and well-thought
out
Need to Know:
*some puzzles are quite challenging or unclear
how you're supposed to solve it- don't be
fooled by the "beginner" title of this game
*some locks were a little sticky/hard to
turn - be very precise on what numbers are
where on the locks
*the clues/puzzles were more linear, making
it so we were waiting for one "team" to
solve the puzzle to get to the next step
Clue Preservation? (do you need to keep
everything in order to escape?): NO
Handicap Accessible? YES
Is It Worth Playing? ONLY FOR BEGINNERS
- A MUST FOR THIS COMPANY!
Did We Escape? YES
Overall Rating: 4.2/5
