I’m not sure this ‘room’ is to Fury’s taste. I’ll start with the fact that each of us has a specific role and access to certain information and files visible only to them. There is an obvious imbalance; in one of our folders, there were dozens of files, while in another, for example, three. During the game, we realized that we could play this game in many different ways (meaning there are several parallel possible scenarios, all correct), which makes about 27 of the available 30 files in someone’s folder unnecessary. In the end, when we managed to complete the mission, no one had a clear idea of what others had seen and how we had actually succeeded, a general idea, yes, but not the details. The concept of guiding an agent through a building with guards, dogs, sharks, and traps is cool, but it was overly complicated, unnecessarily so. At times, the feeling was not that we were solving puzzles but sorting data, an activity that is not among our favorites. Perhaps if we had the opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the resources beforehand, and then, while playing, the light bulb would go on, ah, I had this information somewhere among the files. But during the game, the volume is burdensome. We, being Fury, had fun, but I wouldn’t say I recommend the experience unless you really miss working with Excel.
