I had seen advertisements of this show circulating before Fringe. When I saw it had joined the festival, I immediately got a ticket. I love escape rooms, puzzles, and immersive theatre, so I was really happy to add this to my lineup.

The goal is to obtain artifacts from the characters by helping them fulfill their wishes, which you can only learn by interacting and chatting with them. Everyone works together collectively, so there is lots of chatter and plenty of ways to get involved.

The gameplay was fun and easy to pick up, and they did an excellent job of balancing the atmosphere and immersion with clear gameplay. Everyone was engaged and seemed to be having an excellent time.

The actresses were fantastic. They were great at staying in character and improvising around whatever was happening in the room. They engaged as many people as possible and did an excellent job of giving hints while remaining in character.

As a large group of sober people (we played at 2:30 p.m.) we managed to collect nine out of 10 artifacts!

My understanding is that if you missed this experience during Fringe, there will be more showings outside of Fringe in the near future! I certainly recommend.
