REA Reaction

Missing was unapologetically styled after Stranger Things. Whether we're talking about the aesthetics, gameplay, or the story beats, it truly did that world justice.

A wall with the alphabet pained on it, and a string of christmas lights over them, a la Stranger Things.

Enigma-tic told their own story within the the look, vibe, and structure of Stranger Things. In doing so, it delivered a couple of the most memorable sequences that I've seen in an escape room. These were truly special moments that were wrapped in well-executed traditional escape room gameplay.

Enigma-tic wasn't on our radar when we went up to Montreal for this year's escape room tour. The folks on our tour told us we needed to play it, and they were right. This is a company that needs to be on your play list if you're in Montreal.

Who is this for?

  • Adventure seekers
  • Puzzle lovers
  • Scenery snobs
  • Stranger Things fans
  • Any experience level
  • Players who don't need to be a part of every puzzle

Why play?

  • Great solo moment
  • Pays homage to Stranger Things really well
  • Multiplayer challenges
  • A surprising sequence

Story

Our dear friend had disappeared; no one had seen her for more than a week. The town seemed to agree that she'd run away, but those of us who were her friends knew that the truth would be much darker than that.
