What I liked

I loved how game the actors were to entertain our tangents. The players responded positively to our random inspirations.

Also, I had a sense that our choicds had an impact on the ending, especially after comparing notes with others.

Good characters, and especially playful “minor” characters. Definitely rewarded extended conversations.

What I didn't like

I think the overall experience could have been improved with a bit more team making/building. Get the audience groups to know and even rely on each other so actors don’t have to repeat the same info and bits so many times.

Also, the love triangle did not play out very clearly since neither Elizabeth nor David seemed very interested in seeing each other again.

Might want to try giving more missions that offer audience choices on their paths rather than one specific goal. However, maybe some players just like rails. But that could be indicated with the way the options are presented.

Last, would be nice if the cast were more (visibly) diverse.

My overall impression

Definitely, a fun interactive adventure! It engaged my whole family, and we have very different play styles.
