Pandora Experience Jakarta Utara: Legends of El Dorado

Lacked puzzles and outside knowledge needed. Didn't like the diary aspect of it. Felt like they just didn't want to do the puzzles in the game correctly and put things from the playtest in a diary.

(spoiler...




You needed to know about musical scales, their names and order. One team member did, but it was a collaboration puzzle.)

There was only really 4-5 puzzles in the game. You needed to be able to smell (which most team members couldn't) and you hope that the right team member gets singled out. 

There was a falling door moment that felt dangerous. Hit my brother on the shoulder. 

We loved one of the structural installations in the game. 

This game could be fixed with more puzzles and a few changed puzzles (and a bit more respect for player safety). The bare bones of a good escape room is in there. This is a chain and I am sad to think about the people that has this as their reference for an escape room. They did give us two hours for the game, which was nice - only one needed though (and most time was used on the outside knowledge puzzles). We did like some of the collaboration aspect though it was a simple observation puzzle that had us running up and down stairs.
