Bruum Escape — The Search for the Magical Artifact

Originally designed as a mobile game the set packs a lot into a small space, but what a spcae it is! There is plenty to explore and uncover in your quest to uncover the magical artifact!
The game is not linear which kept us on our toes throughout the game! The puzzles are inventive and there was never a dull moment.
Our host was friendly, responsive and paced the game well as time went on.
Overall we really enjoyed the experience and would certainly recommend it to other enthusiasts and new players alike!

Really good fun escape room. You receive some pre-event details (fun video and escape caravan gallery of images), that set the scene, but you don't need to refer to them during the game. Our host, Mario, was in good spirits and adding fun to the atmosphere. The room itself is really impressive, such a small space and yet feels more like a three-room adventure with some interesting multi-layered, really immersive puzzles. It's always good when puzzles are not simply padlocks and that was what was so good here. Puzzles that require a more cerebral effort. I recommend this room and look forward to a future adventure from Bruum Escape.

We really liked that this game was set up in a caravan--something different! Cool, imaginatively designed set. The puzzles were a bit tricky in places, but had some imaginative elements. And the GM seemed like a really nice guy. Recommended!

My team really enjoyed it and it was a good exercise for us!

tbh this was the best thing I have ever done in 2020, the setup was cool everything was so creative , I really recommend this... trust me you will like it.

As a remote group of 3, I played The Search for the Magical Artifact and had a great time.
I particularly enjoyed the final puzzle and I'm thankful that my team mates are smarter than me or else we'd never have solved it in time. Paolo was a fantastic GM and he obviously enjoys the game as much as we did. Definitely recommend!

My daughter and I both loved playing The Search for the Magical Artifact. We enjoyed the puzzles, the decor and the host. We laughed so much and it was one of our most enjoyable online experiences. We look forward to playing his games in real life during our travels!

This game uses a mobile escape room so it's all contained in a very compact space. But they get a lot into that space. It's all beautifully made with some great puzzles and plenty of aha moments! We definitely felt the pressure to find what we needed and get out, good fun!

I played the remote escape room The Search for the Magical Artifact! and I highly recommend it. At the beginning I was a little skeptical, because it is not easy to convey the feeling of an escape room usually played live in its digital form, but I quickly changed my mind. This experience has been designed specifically for the shape it has and you can see, everything runs smoothly, better than live.
I personally like the theme, fortune tellers, runes and magic, but the really well done parts are:
- the puzzles, each leaves you with a sense of surprise that I love in this type of experience, when you manage to solve it you think "what a cool!";
- the master's guide who was able to expertly dose the suggestions, without being intrusive and without making us feel fools.
On these emotionally dancers days it was a breath of fresh air. Plus the prices are great! Check it out!

I really enjoyed this room! I’ve completed around 15 online rooms and this is one of the best so far!! Good story which is immersive and the story fits with the online version.
Great variety of puzzles and ways to solve them. Great host/character who plays the part well. I appreciate when the person doing the room online moves a bit quicker with a puzzle as I would have. Would highly recommend this room!

Who'd have thought a few months ago that we'd be playing an escape room in a caravan in Italy, from our home in Portugal! Great game, with really good puzzles.

Date played: 6/15/2020
I absolutely LOVED this room for so many reasons!! So overall, I'd rate it a 5/5!

THEME/DECOR: The theme was right up my alley, which is of course a personal bias. I won't say much to spoil it, but all things "fortune teller" are definitely in my wheel house because it's a hobby of mine! I thought the decor created the perfect ambience and went with the theme very well- it made it very immersive despite not being in the actual caravan! There were such cool things in there, I wish I could have been able to poke around myself. I'd rate the theme/decor a 5/5.

PUZZLES: My favorite part!!! In terms of "tech," I would say there isn't much mechanical/electronic stuff in there, but personally I felt that went well with the theme- it'd be weird to have fancy computer type tech in a fortune teller's trailer! There were VERY awesome elements for executing the puzzles, AND also very clever!! Personally, I am the type of person that is more impressed by the difficulty and creativity of the puzzles themselves, rather than the set or effects of the room, and these puzzles definitely met my standards! They were super creative and very well done, and for a small trailer setting, I felt there was tons of stuff to do. For me, I think this area was a 5/5!

CUSTOMER SERVICE: Paolo was such a great host and game master. As I mentioned, I live in California, and I believe the location for the room was in Italy, so we played the game at 9pm which meant Paolo was up and working around 6 or 7am! He was super friendly, polite, and patient with us frustrated Americans despite it being so early for him LOL (sorry about that!!)

The only frustrating part was because it is remote and we can't split up! This was my very first REMOTE/VIRTUAL room, so I had a small learning curve, and was therefore susceptible to more frustration. In person where everyone can spread apart, my max group number I like is 4 people, and there were four people in our group, and only one Paolo, so I would recommend doing this room with less people so that there aren't so many different directions people are trying to go in the room, but this is coming from someone who has experience with escape rooms and tends to be good at solving puzzles. Aside from that, I was SUPER IMPRESSED!!! <3

Thank you so much! I had a great time!

Great experience! Our host was great (thanks Mr. X!). The puzzles were interesting and clever!

I played with two other people and it has been a great experience. Even before the game started we were completely immersed in the story thanks to the great game master who has been on theme all the time. Very nice setting and riddles. Time has flown and we finished the game a couple of minutes before time runs out. Highly recommend game!
