Unsolved Mysteries: Advent Alley

This was a fun one, and lots to do which is always enjoyable - had some tech issues but nothing serious (still annoying however). 

For us it was a bit too similar to Loot the Lanes in Brighton which meant that the set up was sort of familiar, and unfortunately has less space to move around in here. 

However the theming is top notch and the puzzles were good - not immediately obvious what to do but then you have a great aha monent when things start to click in your head. 

Great fun, and certainly Christmas themed!

Our first Christmas room, in August! Didn’t make a difference as fully taken in by the experience. Love the fact that much of the start is non linear and naturally can split off to what takes your eye. Note not all puzzles are solvable straight away. I would recommend using a hint otherwise would miss out! Fun and unexpected ending. Brad was a great host too and joined in with our banter.  

What a fun and beautiful ER! We had such a fun time making our way through a great mix of puzzles. Good use of available space. Traditional puzzles and plenty to do, without feeling overwhelmed. Lots of love has gone into this room with some whimsical elements! Cracking clue system (one I’ll never forget). Great GM which added to the overall experience. 

Really enjoyed this game, lots of puzzles and a unique clue system. Fantastic hosting 

Wonderful family-friendly Christmas game with a nice range of puzzles, many of which are at a lower level. There's also a good range of difficulties in the puzzles too, so ideal for families and plenty to keep everyone occupied.
I was going to give it 4 out of 5 stars, but I've given an extra half-star for the clue system/host, who is absolutely brilliant, and also likes to be "boop-ed" 🙂  

Imagine a street, at Christmas time, in the snow, on Christmas eve.  This is advent alley, you have 24 puzzles to solve before the clock strikes midnight in order to save Christmas.  This is another puzzle-fest style game (like Mr Copplestones, Daylight Robbery, etc.) where you have a plethora of puzzles to work on, can't solve something, move onto the next one and come back to it.  This was a great deal of fun, an hilarious hint system and an ending that everyone can't help but join in on.  Recommended.
