Chasing Hahn: The Heist Volume 1

I really enjoyed this play-at-home online game from The Escape Game! It's only the 1st part out of 3, but it feels like a complete game. Took us over an hour to complete. It's a smart design. Although it's structured like an escape room with different puzzles you can solve that give you clues to complete later puzzles, it's actually presented like a detective's computer database. Instead of standard puzzle clues, you get evidence, recordings, and documents. And it's all easily accessible through easy-to-navigate computer tabs. There are even some surprises that I wasn't expecting! I love mysteries and sleuthing, so disguising an escape room as well-themed detective work was great brain stimulation. I luckily got this game for free through some smart marketing by the game's company. And after finishing this one, I am looking forward to playing the rest!

My group completed this during the Covid lockdown. It was a fun room to do together, especially for beginners.

The first online room I played. Interesting, but now that I have played others (and designers have had more time to innovate on the idea), not particularly memorable. A fun thing to do solo, but there are better digital experiences out there these days.

This was a fun at-home (online) game. Didn’t take too long, puzzles weren’t too challenging. For the price, it was great. This is part one of a three part series (part four advertised as coming soon) and you get a discount if you purchase all three at once.
