Escape room 2 claire11/11/2023 ![]() Compared to the ‘find Claire Makova’ portion of the game, which relies more on cross-referencing data between maps, texts and bank statements. I found the first three mini cases to be more puzzle heavy, for example in one of them you have to assemble a bomb (oh hello MI5 agent reading my blog, don’t worry it’s not real!) by solving complex maths and logic puzzles. There’s a mix of treasure hunting, digging through the internet, and actually solving puzzles. You know, the usual legally questionable detective stuff. You do this by a series of looking through her cellphone records, checking her bank statements, stalking her place of work, rummaging through photos from her flat. Pretty cool!įrom here, you’ve been tasked to track down a missing person who has purposefully gone off the grid. I say ‘unlocks’ and I actually mean it this time, the envelope is sealed with a padlock. Each of those gives a numerical digit, that then unlocks a ‘final envelope’ containing the introduction to Claire Makova’s case. This episode serves to set the scene and instruct players on how to navigate the mystery by presenting three short mini-mysteries to be solved. The amount of story in Episode 1 is understandably short. So if you’re like me and you also have this sitting on your shelf… Stop what you’re doing right now- I mean, finish reading my blog first of course, THEN go play this game right away! So why did I wait so long to play it? Yeah I’m asking myself that question too. With the whole of 2020 being the pandemic write-off that it was, I’ve seen The Detective Society’s praises shouted from the rooftops for it’s bringing a 5* escape room experience into the homes of players around the world. I guess one of the real standouts of the game is that it could not come at a better time. It’s visually very impressive and super high tech, dipping into the real world in a sort of “I no longer know what’s real and what isn’t” way. The Disappearance of Claire Makova: Episode 1 (for it’s full, wordy title) is a game that exploded into the limelight in 2020, created by British company The Detective Society. Literally no excuse for not playing it sooner… Believe me when I say I’m kicking myself for waiting so long because I immediately want to buy Part 2, Part 3 and more. I have had this game sitting on my shelf for… Oh my god, MONTHS?! I genuinely cannot even remember how long it’s been, but if anyone wants to do the maths I received it a month or so after the Kickstarter backers did. Recommended For: Armchair sleuths who want an immersive, real world experience delivered to their doorstep. A story filled with twists, turns and some laughs thrown in for good measure the deeper you delve into Claire’s disappearance, the more secrets you uncover. Can you help solve the case?
