I do love a game that has you using the whole of your hour. First time in a while where I felt a third player would have really helped us. The intentionally dark and dusty set is not scary in any way but might put some off - personally I loved it. Some great ah-ha moments and a great in character Gm
Gameplay
We played this as a two. The set (and interaction) with the set is great. Its the first time for a while where i felt that a third player would have really helped us - you almost need a person on a permanent search and find! In the end, we were ‘out’ with about 6 mins to spare but spent ages collecting bits of gold. As usual, our sub-par search and find stopped us scoring too marks! Happy with our 12000 haul though 😊
Atmosphere
There’s no getting around that this room is (intentionally) dark and shadowy. That clearly suits the theme and impedes your secondary challenge of collecting the fools gold. I always love it when you suddenly twig that certain puzzles may need a second use and you have that moment of, “Really?! Ahhhh.”
Customer service
A great example of an in character GM - he clearly knows the game inside out and we were grateful of being steered back on track once or twice when down a bit of a rabbit hole.
