"Escape the Swedish Furniture Store" Puzzle Card A furniture store escape experience in a birthday card - tell the recipient they don't get their gift until they've solved the mystery.

I had the pleasure of playtesting ‘Escape the Swedish Furniture Store’ from @amysteryunfolds.bsky.social a few months ago. It was, as I’ve come to expect from Mystery Unfolds, a brilliantly designed and witty affair featuring impressive artwork and well-constructed puzzles. 🧩 Live on Kickstarter!

Coming soon: Interstellar Adventures: A cooperative puzzle adventure An out of this world cooperative adventure! Answer a mysterious signal from the unknown in this escape room inspired, tabletop game 🚀

If you haven’t already followed this one on Kickstarter, please do! I’ve played the first episode and it was funny, clever with awesome artwork. It features fun puzzles, unique game mechanics and an ending that left me excited to play the next part. It launches later this year!

That’s partly why I try and help publicise some of these campaigns because the creators often are too busy to go out and spread the word on all social media channels or can’t afford advertising.

If you have further questions, they’ve been really responsive on Kickstarter so you could always back at $1 to ask your question and then cancel if you don’t want to go ahead 👍

They’ve got back to me:
“I should have made a video showing a person holding their phone against the model. then the walls between the phone (the camera in the world) and Helene fade out. You can only see the room Helene is in, the others are just empty.”

Hopefully they can add a video 🤞

Definitely not! To my knowledge there aren’t a lot of games like this in the mystery space, so there are bound to be questions around how it all works. Perhaps they can create a video that better conveys this.

Hi Jonathan! I’ve sent your message to the creators who can probably answer that question better than me. I’ll let you know what they come back with!

Happy launch day (or should it be Appy launch day? 🤭). Congratulations!!

Really interesting, albeit horrifying read. I have heard great things about the escape rooms in Athens but these safety issues certainly give me pause! I hope that this letter reaches the people that need to see it and that it enacts some positive changes🤞

An Open Letter to the Escape Room Owners of Athens Regarding Fire Safety in Your Games I am deeply concerned about the state of fire safety in the Athens escape room community.

Dunkelstein - An AR Tabletop Murder Mystery | Escape Game Tabletop Gaming Meets Augmented Reality | Enter the Villa of Mysteries. Uncover the Past. Solve the Murder.

This looks like a very innovative murder mystery / escape room experience! It combines a variety of physical items, including a wooden manor to construct, with AR technology to bring it to life. I can’t imagine how much work has gone into this!
