More about Victoria Noir: Case of the Curious Collector

Murder! Murder most foul is afoot in Victoria.

The year is 1928, prohibition is in full swing in the nearby United States, and savvy entrepreneurs have seized the opportunity to get in on the illegal trade of smuggling alcohol south of the border.

One such business woman is Vicky Tems, owner of a popular curio shop and rumoured Rum Runner. Unfortunately, her growing business has hit a dead end with her untimely murder.

Despite having no end of suspects, local investigators are stumped, so they’ve called in the services of the cleverest (and cheapest) Private Detectives of the time: YOU!

Join us in the past to unravel the mystery and prove yourselves the greatest detectives of all time!

The total score of a review doesn't have to be the average of your subscores. Sometimes a room feels like it should deserve a higher (or lower) rating than the exact sum of its parts.

Wat een vreselijke kamer. Misschien te hoge Europese standaard waardoor de verwachtingen te hoog zijn van iets buiten Europa. De entree was prima, de host was erg onervaren maar kan ik wel doorheen kijken. Na een korte briefing waren wij verantwoordelijk om een moord op te lossen in een soort Cluedo stijl. Je had vanaf het begin toegang tot de '3' kamers; crime scene, investigation en court room. In deze kamers moest je plastic kaartjes verzamelen en deze in de court room op de juiste plek verzamelen. Alleen de combi van de juiste kaartjes maakt de deur open en los je de zaak op. Wij hebben in deze kamer ik denk slechts 1 of 2 puzzels opgelost. Het was meer een zoek plaatje met willekeurige elementen. De printerinkt was op, dus de kaartjes waren slecht geprint, we hebben codes gekregen die op geen enkele manier correspondeerde met bepaalde kluisjes. Het was een vreselijke zoektocht naar niks. We konden niet om hints vragen en we kregen ze ook niet. Uiteindelijk hadden we nog 2 minuten, en toen ontdekte we dat de juiste kaartjes magneetjes achter het lelijk geprinte plaatje hadden. Toen we het hadden 'gehaald' kregen we : "yeah you've solved the case! Goodbye thank you!" Wij waren flabbergasted. Sla deze alsjeblieft over. Het was een vreselijke kamer.
