Operation Jingle Bells

Typically, we wouldn’t be interested in holiday-themed rooms but we just knew Clue IQ would deliver, just like they always do! This room was extremely fun, witty, and a surprise. The puzzles 🧩 were great, the theme was engaging, and the difficulty was the perfect balance for our team of 2.

A cute Christmas room with some challenging puzzles. Everything was really well made and well-designed. I loved this one!

Another great game from Clue IQ. The set of this game is awesome - definitely gets you in the Christmas spirit. They did a great job of incorporating different elements of the holiday to create variety in the game. The only downside about this room is that it is NOT LINEAR. There is a lot going on and you can almost solve everything as it is mostly all out in the open from the start. I recommend bringing a larger group and SPLITTING UP. Don’t focus on one puzzle at a time. My team of four split into groups of two and worked in pairs for a lot of the game. I would still absolutely recommend playing this room. Now I’ve officially played all of Clue IQ’s rooms and I can’t wait for the new ones they have coming up!

Some of the puzzles were interesting. I don’t know why people love this room either. It was an interesting twist on the Christmas room. However, it was surprisingly hard. A lot of the puzzles were exposed and it wasn’t clear what was next. It really wasn’t awful but there was nothing in the room that made me say wow. Also for a company that posts “we don’t have TVs in our rooms” on their website… they have one in this room. Also, I like the TVs so I can pace myself throughout the games.

I tend to be wary of holiday themed rooms but this one was awesome! The theme is fun and novel and the puzzles are a great mix of styles.
