immersivegreat hostingquite easy

Whoever designed this game was not drinking XXX Moonshine at the time - everything flowed really nicely and was decently signposted. 
Set dressing met and exceeded expectations with little in the room not being used.

One puzzle we needed hinting towards as we have become accustomed to tuning out this particular thing often found in rooms as set dressing/design, potentially could have done with a little more signposting. 

Very clever ending and interesting points system, as awarded by the GM.

Huge thanks to Cassidy (or as non-southerners call him, Joel) for being a great host (If i'm to be really picky then perhaps some nudges came a little too early, especially with the time we had left, but one of them we definitely needed!) 

For me, a room has  to REALLY be special for me to give 5*, and I can't quite give this room the full 5 but it is really pressing up against it. Will be back for Ethics (the room we had actually booked  for, some mistake on their end meant that we couldn't play ethics  and had to play Discomfort instead (or rebook/have a full refund)) and the Murder Bath Experience 🙂
