REA Reaction

Secret Mission was exactly that: a secret. Though highly recommended by local gamemasters, no one would tell us anything about this game, not even a little bit. We checked the website looking for any information, but found no details. I’ve never played a game without knowing at least something about it. I was curious. After booking the game, I received an email telling me where and when to start. And that’s it. 

Without giving away spoilers, or any details, really, what I can say is we were immersed in the adventure from the very first moment. Story was front and center, and developed as we played; a few story elements unique to our experience provided memorable, funny moments that I won’t soon forget. The set was inventive with design choices that wowed us – but no pictures allowed, of course. Engaging and energetic gameplay provided strong momentum; we were on a mission, and we were going to see it through no matter what. And though the finale was not quite as immersive as the rest of the game, it was still thrilling and tons of fun.

The secret’s out: The Game’s Secret Mission was an entertaining, high-energy game that kept us completely engaged and immersed through the entire time. If you are playing escape rooms in Paris, make time to play Secret Mission; it will be the best game you’ll never tell anyone about.

Story

CLASSIFIED.

Setting

The game started in NOPE NOPE NOPE with NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE and other NOPE NOPE around the NOPE. A small NOPE NOPE with a NOPE NOPE stood NOPE NOPE.  It was immersive and felt like we should NOPE NOPE NOPE.

Gameplay

The Game’s Secret Mission was a unique escape room with a moderate level of difficulty.

Gameplay revolved around activities that cannot be disclosed, described, or referred to in any way.

Analysis

➕ The premise of a game that needed to be kept secret could have fallen flat if it was just marketing hype, but instead it truly fit the Secret Mission title as the secrecy heightened the tension and related to the whole experience.

➕ The set was creative and realistic, with subtle details and impressive reveals that put us in the center of the action.

➕ The mission contained puzzles and tasks that were fun, approachable, and good for players of all experience levels. 

➖ One exhilarating activity could benefit from better cluing; I knew what needed to happen, just not how to do it.

➕/➖ The in-world hint system blended seamlessly into the game, and a few subtle nudges felt like they were supposed to happen. But it was so smooth, we sometimes forgot it was there; we actually missed several messages that would have really helped during an intense part of the game.
