What I liked

My daughter, 13, absolutely loved it. She got wrapped in the story and solving every part of it while interacting with her favorite characters (Loki, Aphrodite, Artemis). The puzzles were fun, but the real fun was talking to the characters to figure out what was going on before the finale.

What I didn't like

Any show like this could benefit from a bigger budget and larger location with more rooms to explore, but that didn’t really hurt the overall experience. The campiness of the whole thing could be seen as a negative by some, but I think it worked very well for what they were doing and worked for it IMO. This one is probably not for everyone, but if you are willing to be silly for a bit and just go along, you’ll love it.

My overall impression

Great fun. Above all else, this was a really fun show and my daughter and I really had a blast interacting with the team and being a part of the story. You really have to just let go and enjoy the show, but it’s a lot of fun once you do.
