    I’ve played this one 2 or 3 times now, and it really is super impressive. The environment is unlike anything I’ve ever played, and the set pieces are truly incredible. But that’s coupled with an out-of-place digital timer, and a fake parrot that gives you clues (until your game guide runs out of pre-recorded options and hops on the mic). The final scene is also a bit awkwardly executed, and goes on for far too long to be enjoyable. It’s like they went 90% of the way to making a truly fantastic game. Should you try out this game? Yes, definitely. Will you be totally awed by the environment? Almost certainly! But you may also be a bit annoyed by a few drawn out puzzles, slow game pace, and an environment so large that it can feel inconvenient to backtrack. Don’t sleep on this game, but also maybe don’t play it 3 times 😅

    🤯🤯🤯 This game is just fantastic! It is SO cool and surprising! I never knew what was coming next! I will admit some of the clues in this game aren’t my favorite; one feels a bit ill-explained, and another too trial-and-error. But the environment more than makes up for it, and the amount of uniquely fun challenges makes the overall experience unforgettable! And Captain Mac is the best character to ever grace an escape game 😂

    I had such a blast playing this game! I will say that our team of 8 experienced players was a bit unfair, as we practically breezed through this game. But every part of this game was unique, while still feeling very thematic and tying nicely together. It’s physically not a huge game, but the environments are well thought-out and highly detailed. I highly recommend trying this one out!

    Spellbound is a great game, really! There is just so much going on for it; the atmosphere is super cool, it feels unique and natural, the game components fit the theme, the variety of challenges is impressive, and the story fits nicely as well. I really liked this game a lot!

    The motto of this game really seems to be “fun first.” All of the elements are really tactile and interactive, there’s so much to do! Harder for a smaller group due to the amount of puzzles, but for an experienced team it’s a breeze. I hear some locations even have a slightly altered version for small groups that speeds up things like jigsaw puzzles to save time. The playground theme seems to scare off some groups, but this is a for-real escape game! It’s not the easiest I’ve ever played, but it definitely sets the record for the amount of times we all cheered with excitement!

    I have played this game 3 times now in various settings, and I’ve loved it every time! Super cool environments, fun challenges, and a lot of variety to keep everyone involved. Really cool and unique set elements really set this game apart!

    This game may polarize your group. Not to give anything away, but this game is largely split in two halves. The first is more “traditional” escape room, with the second being more logic-based. I’ve seen countless people absolutely struggle in that second room, but I found it to be one of the easiest to understand puzzle sequence I’ve personally played. I LOVED this game, and it really made me feel like a super-smart agent. Just know that may not be your experience as well! I loved the cinematic nature of this game (ask to see the loss video if you escape, it’s pretty fun that this game actually had a loss state)!

    I really liked this game! The location has a really fun and immersive atmosphere, from beginning to end. The game fit well within the overarching building story, and did a good job of tying its individual story throughout. Clues were challenging but not impossible (pay close attention, close reading can be important)! There are a lot of decorative elements that some may consider red herrings, but to me it was largely clear what was relevant and what wasn’t. There were some game flaws, but our guide was always right on top of it and assisted on the one or two times something didn’t quite work automatically. It didn’t take anything out of the experience because he was so attentive.
