Robert ★★★★★

The timer adds just the right tension—my group finished with only four minutes left, and the katana reveal felt earned. The letter from Asa's mistress sets up a twist I didn't see coming, which made the whole hour fly by.

Kevin ★★★★★

I was immediately pulled into the story as Asa the exiled samurai—the puzzles felt clever and perfectly tied to feudal Japan. The app integration worked seamlessly, and the whole scenario kept my group guessing for nearly an hour.

George J. ★★★★★

Played this with two friends and it took us exactly the hour, with the last puzzle coming right down to the wire. The 1214 Feudal Japan setting actually matters here, the letter from your old mistress ties the whole story together instead of just being flavor text. Best one in the short series so fa
