39 escape rooms
I was really excited about trying this escape room out, but I was very disappointed with The Cursed Isles game play. To be honest, I’m wondering if the game master would have just gave us hints rather than straight up telling us the answers to the puzzle would have been nice. I feel like you shouldn’t have to start off by telling us the answer to a puzzle we haven’t even began exploring…I was mainly bummed we didn’t get to just fully look at it all of the clues. Had we had the time to really look at everything in the room uninterrupted maybe we would have saw the things we needed to progress in the game. I found it very distracting. I understand that maybe the Game Master was trying to be helpful, but for us is wasn’t. I felt there were some red herrings in this room. Especially in the beginning of the game. I think this room needs either reworking or retire.
Basically we were plopped in the room with no prompts on what or where to start. The puzzles were so bad that the GM kept giving us the puzzles and answers to the puzzles before we could even get to it. It was so distracting and took away from the whole experience.
Atmosphere was cool.
GM was nice, but too eager to give hints and answers away.
