La Nuit Du Loup Et Du Serpent [The Night of the Wolf and the Serpent]

Phew, what can I say. The flow was very disjointed. On top of that, there was one puzzle we managed to solve, but the trigger for the mechanism was so subtle that we had to ask the GM what we were doing wrong, since we were sure we’d solved the riddle. The GM told us we had solved it and pointed us in the right direction. The conversation took place via an iPod with the GM, so responses weren’t very quick. Once again, an experience at SOS Aventure with a GM who lacked presence and wasn’t following the flow of the game. The logic behind the puzzles is pretty mediocre. At the end, we were told that SOS Aventure had bought the game from a company that went bankrupt. We’re not surprised. That was their way of justifying our “lack of fun” during the game.

I really enjoyed this game. For me, the ambience and the props were amazing, the puzzles made sense and were fun. I think I never played a game that had so much use of the objects and they were also corresponding to the theme. This is a scenario that is supposed to be played with three players or more, we were two and finished with around ten minutes remaining. The Viking theme was really well exploited, was really worth the play in my opinion.

We really didn't enjoy this room. Great set that deserves way better. I understand that they bought this from another local place that shut down so I assume Mor Drakkar and Wicca, which they're more known for, are better. Unfortunately this experience made us doubt the location and prioritize other places first and we never made it back to try those. The flow was terrible, many of the puzzles were a stretch. The main complaint was a puzzle with a bunch of different ways to interpret it. We spent a while trying a bunch of solutions, then we uncovered that we were missing a piece, which didn't help that problem so we went on trying the different solutions again. It took way too long. We also had a prop that didn't work the first time I messed with it and would have revealed something that would have saved us a lot of time. Another prop, I'm pretty sure there was no reason or explanation of why we were supposed to do what we did with it, and only did it because of a hint. Worst hint system we've seen after 500 rooms. The sets of these rooms aren't cheap and it would not be difficult to put a microphone in there. It's extra bad if you don't speak french.

Really fun game with nice puzzles. The Vic king theme was well exploited

Any Viking fan will be in for a treat. The atmosphere is spot-on, and the puzzles are great. I highly recommend it.
