Mcgyver escape game

Within, agents will find several smaller envelopes to remain sealed until instructed otherwise and a thick cardstock dossier folder. A variety of different objects are sealed within the smaller envelops, including both paper and cardstock puzzle components, as well as a small number of physical objects that will likely be familiar to any true MacGyver fans. Despite being distinctively different missions, each with its own unique setting, there is a graphical familiarity between the five sets that creates a sense of continuity given each star the same titular character.

Story is an area where Pressman truly excels in this series. In the Underground Lab, an acid leak threatens the world, and naturally only Mac can save the day, armed with little more than his own creativity and a candy bar. Others may perhaps overstay their welcome, if just a bit. One particular puzzle involving rearranging furniture clearly states Mac must make use of every piece in order to gain the proper code, however, after much frustration, we were surprised to learn agents only actually use six of the seven pieces included in the envelope.

Another puzzle, which is answered digitally, can be solved by simply clicking each image until the right one triggers — leaving agents to wonder why something like that might be just a single option code. Other challenges were far more straight-forward, and genuinely evoked the problem-solving spirit of MacGyver himself. His nap is rudely interrupted mid-flight when one of the propellers fails, causing the pilot to suffer a heart attack.

Beyond its initial narrative absurdities, The Airplane stays pretty solidly rooted within its storyworld, from the moment agents find a way to physically break free from their seats — yes, in a home game. While some challenges exist organically within the world, for example, breaking into the cockpit and regaining control of the plane, others feel confusing for the sake of being confusing, thanks to awkward red herrings which, in themselves, are difficult to read.

MacGyver has learned through his contacts that this particular factory, claiming to be making harmless condiments, might actually be making explosives for a terrorist group. Once inside, however, he has to worry about much more than the difference between ketchup and catsup; back to haunt him are several rehashed puzzles from his first two missions, reskinned and likely tweaked but still largely the same.

A digital button puzzle is a fun diversion from the standard solutions seen throughout the mission. At least it would be, had the website worked as intended. From there, another rehashed puzzle — this time of the one we had just solved within the same mission — seemed simple enough at first glance. That is, until we realized there were at least five factually correct solutions, only one of which is the accepted answer for the game.

Views 9, Faves: 2 Votes 9 Score 2. It also has a button to get hints. The game will not function without the website, so the game is not playable without an Internet connection. The app has three settings: Easy - not timed Medium - 75 minutes Hard - 45 minutes The Underground Lab scenario has six puzzles, each of which must be completed, and correctly entered into the website, to progress to the next. Incorrect answers give a time penalty. The puzzles, unlike some other escape room games, were completely linear, with only one to complete at a time.

There are four other scenarios in the box -- Airplane, Factory, Missile Silo, and Grand Finale -- and they have to be played in order. Some of the later scenarios reuse items, but no game pieces needed to be cut, torn, or otherwise damaged.
