Closing

Why We Liked It:

*puzzles/clues were interesting and creative
*clues are on a monitor prompted by the game master that is watching you, meaning they know EXACTLY where you are in the game and can help you! (aka: no waiting around or explaining to them) 
*theme and props were intentional

Need to Know:

*some puzzles will take some time to solve, especially the last two puzzles - clues from the gamemaster are essential
*very detail-oriented
*team members were able to work on multiple puzzles at the same time, but some were linear
