| - Played Dark Alter (4/5 difficulty) with the recommended 6 people. The room itself was done fairly well, though the "out of bounds" stickers are kind of distracting. We were told to listen to the audio closely because there would be clues in there, but none of us heard anything useful so it was a huge waste of time since the clocks started as soon as the door closed. We also noticed there was a hook for blindfolds, so I'm guessing we were supposed to be brought in the room blindfolded - kind of glad we weren't cuz I don't know how clean those would be! Bottom line, take out the sign that says 'place blindfolds here' if you're not going to bother putting them on players.
I like that were were unlimited clues but when we asked for one, the game-master was super judgey and asked if we were sure we wanted one since "we hadn't even started". DUDE. That's why we're asking. Anyway, it was fairly smooth sailing on our part after that, though I felt like there was a significant delay between when we got a puzzle correct and when the next room/puzzle would activate.
Aesthetic was fantastic, game story was meh, puzzles were mostly fun. A couple seemed really time-intensive but not that difficult.
Biggest complaint is the LAST puzzle of the game - we did it correctly but didn't get the 'big finish' with the sound effects, lights, etc.
