Mystery Mansion Regina: Night Terrors

A lot of fun. The host was the best part.

Very fun experience!  Host was entertaining and room was quite challenging to say the least!

Yesterday my team and I had the pleasure of playing the digitally hosted game of Night Terrors at Mystery Mansion Regina . Having already played and loved both Deville’s Curio Shoppe and The Sleepy Man as live avatar games (easily two of my favourites), I was very excited to play the remaining game of the trilogy. Our whole team had an amazing time. They have gone above and beyond with Game Mastering in character and have made so many additional videos to the game based upon what you choose to do in the room ,that other then the fact you click to look around the room, you would think the whole game was live avatar. What a seamless transition !! This game really needs it’s own category as the story is choice driven like a Choose You Own Adventure yet it is done in such a way that it is totally immersive. This is for sure by FAR my favourite digital game yet but please know that it really deserves it’s own category as it plays so much more like an incredibly immersive live avatar. If you like room escapes and puzzles, grab a headset, turn out the lights and spend some time with the Sleepy Man. The entire trilogy is amazing !

Worked better for us to fix a time to play and then put together a team.  You have to contact the host to set a time but Mitch was very helpful - and a great host who really gets into character!

Spent a fair bit of time at the beginning sorting out an audio settings issue for one player but Mitch took the time to note how it was resolved in case it comes up again.

I love cut scenes, and I appreciated that we were automatically muted when they ran.  The puzzles were solid but a good story like this makes a game so much more satisfying.

This was a cleverly put together game, with some good integration of the online elements.  Definitely make sure that you have a 2nd screen or a decent second device, because the inventory actually provides story elements that are critical to making it a good experience.  A couple of particularly clever puzzles, and a quite satisfying denouement.  Recommended!
