If you ask us, we think our escape room games are the weightier in the world, expressly our new wing Curse of the Dark which has really knocked it out of the park! Perhaps we’re biased? But just maybe we’re telling the truth … if you take the word of escape room enthusiast group The Escape Roomer!
Curse of the Dark was recently played and reviewed by their team and they loved it!
“Where Curse of the Dark differs from *checks notes* pretty much every other escape game I’ve overly played, is its fantastic use of space. It’s somewhere between a tile-based, scrutinizingly “world-building” game with Cluedo, and Unlock! mixed in. As a team of intrepid investigators, you reveal and place new tiles that build up an immense, sprawling castle virtually your movements as the game progresses. Past the halfway mark and you’ve once strayed into 3D territory with an enormous stained glass window and not one but two sunny tall towers standing at either whet of the board. Until we flipped each new tile it was untellable to know where our story would take us, but each room was as fantastical as the previous and each twist and turn as heady as if we were watching a movie.”
The Escape Roomer gave us some very upper praise on the gameplay, the trappy diamond of the game and packaging, the intricate 3D puzzle elements and world-building, as well as the mysterious storyline which ties the whole game together. They were so squandered yonder that they awarded Curse of the Dark with their Badge of Honour award, which is their highest award.
“We really did have a unconfined time playing Curse of the Dark. From the fantastically fun puzzles that unceasingly manage to surprise me, to the trappy visuals (2D and 3D), to a very spooky vibe that made our workbench game night perfect. There were a unconfined many “a-ha!” moments, so many I’m sure my co-players got sick of my insisting “wow thats a clever puzzle” by the end of it. For that reason, we’ve chosen to ribbon it our Badge of Honour which is awarded to games that unzip five stars from us wideness the board, and it’s well deserved too.”
