Why We Liked It:

*various puzzles and clues
*we can work on multiple things at a time (not linear)
*props were interesting to look at

Need to Know:

*items were too modern for a Sherlock room
*clues were given through a phone you had to dial and the room was extremely warm
*some puzzles/clues were difficult to solve because there weren't enough clues to guide us, especially the final puzzle (some were very detail-oriented, some we had no idea where to start)

Is It Worth Playing? MAYBE (We personally didn't like it, but others might--NOT for beginners)

*Note: We were offered a credit for a new game in coorelation with this game.*

  • Clue Preservation?: No
