Reviews

“I’m just surprised this game isn’t at well known as it is! It’s a hidden gem for sure and one I’d highly recommend for a couples night in, or reconnecting with a friend via Zoom to puzzle it out for 90 minutes. But which character will you choose to be? Pick wisely!”
5/5 – The Escape Room-er

“I think we’ve found our first favorite cooperative puzzle game! This game really bought out the teamwork aspect through the puzzles and game design. We can’t wait to see what Eleven Puzzles will be able to whip up in the near future!”

“Superb online puzzles don’t come by every day, and one under the co-op category is even harder to find. And yet luckily, the return of the Cryptic Killer brings us exactly that. And possibly more carnage. Aw, well. You win some, you lose some.”
