The idea of this room is fantastic. To save superheroes and have separate puzzles related to the story and specifics of each one… well, it’s really cool. Unfortunately, room number 300 on my list will remain with our miserable attempts to deal with falling doors, an operator who can neither see nor hear anything in the room and when you knock on the entrance door from the inside, they hand you notes.
When you play with Ivan, and they tell you not to touch the light switch, Nadya, make a mental note, WATCH IVAN, NOT TOUCH THE BUTTONS. In his defense, Ivan tried to help while we were shining with a black light flashlight (of course), and to make it more convenient for us, he turned off the light that we were explicitly told not to touch. Apparently, this stopped sound functionality, and we lost all sounds in the game. Which made the solution to the next puzzle impossible. I’ll remember Miro, who got nervous and reacted with “VERONIKA! VERONIKA, stick your hand in here” (to skip a puzzle we knew how to solve, just the mechanical hand was very, VERY slow), followed by “that’s what she said” by Dimitar.
We had a puzzle where we had to count to 10 seconds. It didn’t work. I draw from my childhood memories and start, 1-M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-I, 2-M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-I… And it doesn’t work. We ask for help. The operator enters, sets her phone’s timer, and presses on the tenth second. The puzzle worked, and she triumphantly informed us, “it works!”
If one day I create a Marvel room, I’ll steal ideas, but the implementation has a lot to be improved.
