Amazing room, goes straight into my favorites! Perfectly balanced, with enough in games hints to be logical and solvable, but still challenging. Just disappointed that the ring did not melt in the fire as an Easter Egg, that would have been hilarious :D. Amazing work!

A little frustrating that some things can only be dragged- which is very slow - but even more so when they glitch and get stuck in the wall and can't be removed. Having to restart the game to do that slow stuff all over is.... not my favorite.

@ChunkehLeygs
Thanks for letting me know, Ill put a fix in for it soon.

Overall really enjoyed the room but ran into a bug where after I put the venom and bleach into the cauldron it would not accept the essence of eel . Had to restart the game a few times and then tried putting the eel in first....then it worked

LOVED this room! Only feedback is the cauldron, i kept trying to put the items in there wasn't very clear to put the items in the whole instead. other than that, amazing!

Great room! I liked both puzzles and humour!

Because dragging makes you slow, I found it a lot faster to move drag items by rotating the camera to move them then walking past them, turning to face them, and grabbing them again. This was super helpful for the pumpkins

This is by far the MOST DISAPPOINTING Room I have ever played.

1. The puzzles are all perfectly done. You know which code should go where, which is something you don't find often.
2. The amount of time and effort put into this room is clearly visible from the level of detail in books and potions and everything there is. Simply put: PERFECTION
3. It's incredibly frustrating, because all the puzzles are amazing and they suck you into that room and that world completely, and you are having the time of your life, unaware of the fact that in a few minutes you will finish all the puzzles and have to leave the room forever !
4. I wish it didn't end. I wish I spent at least the full weekend doing these puzzles.
5. Please sir/madam/apache helicopter... make more rooms :(

Best regards,
Your number 1 FAN

In theory it will work with the games maximum limit of 8 players. I would argue that the room would be most enjoyable with between 2-4 players.
Roroto_Sic 29 Mar, 2022 @ 7:21am 
@duc How many players can play in this room?
LazyAndOkay 21 Mar, 2022 @ 1:01am 
I really enjoyed this room! Unfortunately, I accidentily dropped the last key, and it fell under the floorboards and I couldn't retrieve it.

In regards to Gimli's photo I thought for sure that the number I needed was 1 because of the item titled "that still only counts as one" lol
BIOS HazarD 19 Mar, 2022 @ 12:43pm 
Very well done, great room
Zesty Mordant 13 Mar, 2022 @ 9:36am 
Had a great time with this, inspiring use of the game engine.

Started out pretty good, sadly the ending is not very logical.
chocotrout7 18 Feb, 2022 @ 2:17pm 
Loads of fun. Thanks so much. I love your imagination.

Got stuck in the room with all bottles after opening the case for the key. by some strange reason the glass from the box fell on me and made so i was stuck. so had to restart.
DistraXion 10 Feb, 2022 @ 11:20am 
I really enjoyed this escape room. Thank you Duc for creating it. I'll be looking forward to any new ones you create.

@JimmyLmao
I had eaten a large quantity of bread at the park.
JimmyLmao 10 Feb, 2022 @ 5:42am 
Super chill room. Loved it. How high were you when you made this lol?
Bill 31 Jan, 2022 @ 7:44pm 
I have something to discuss with you about the map, please add me.
YeppeoGumiho 31 Jan, 2022 @ 7:35pm 
Although the title of your room is rather simple and doesn't really give the intrigue factor, I was pleasantly surprised! Really enjoyed the different puzzles and the riddles were super fun! My fiance also really liked the nod to LoTR in your room as well! Thank you for sharing!
Tyryannasaurus 29 Jan, 2022 @ 9:04pm 
One of my favorite rooms so far! The custom object names and the LoTR pictures absolutely made my day. Also loved the sweet tribute to your significant other. Very much looking forward to any other rooms you may create!
Aaron123 29 Jan, 2022 @ 9:03pm 
This is one of the most fun custom maps I've played! Please make more!

Laughed at the custom object names.
FettuccineSwartz 25 Jan, 2022 @ 10:25pm 
Had a blast in this room, executed perfectly and great to play! Look forward to any more maps made by this user. :steamhappy:
Eli_The_Human 25 Jan, 2022 @ 10:25pm 
I've played lots of community rooms and this was so far the best!!
peeperpig 25 Jan, 2022 @ 10:22pm 
Such a cool room. Loved it. Also very cute elements. Had so much fun.
Ash 23 Jan, 2022 @ 12:00pm 
Very nice room. Enjoyed it

Absolutely banger music, fun puzzles. Short-moderate time needed. Map is laggy though.

I need to know what the name of the music track is!
Tazel 16 Jan, 2022 @ 8:25pm 
If nothing else, the included music made this escape puzzle so very delightful. A wonderful room of good challenge!
s.n.arly1 15 Jan, 2022 @ 2:19pm 
This was an absolutely delightful room from start to finish. I'm a huge Tolkien nerd, so the LoTR elements made me and my game partner super happy. Alas, I lost the one ring I thought I should put it in the flaming box . This had just enough challenge to really push us, but not so much that we felt stupid. LOVED the hall of riddles, the Arwen quote, and the random swinging axe. We got a bit stumped on the pumpkins, so we appreciated the walkthrough with its option of little or big hints

Thank you for sharing this!.
ZWi€B€L 15 Jan, 2022 @ 1:07pm 
we skipped the dice riddle and just put random the last letter inside. how would be the correct code we didn´t get it? :)
mg 13 Jan, 2022 @ 8:25am 
In the potion room, when the container door with the key opened, the door fell and I was scuffed
Duc  [author] 12 Jan, 2022 @ 1:13pm 
@nikkipatt
Sorry to hear about that, will get it sorted! Cheers
nikkipatt 12 Jan, 2022 @ 9:10am 
Fun room! Solved all the puzzles and got both front door keys, but unfortunately couldn't open the exit door.
Basphomet 8 Jan, 2022 @ 11:12am 
One of the best rooms I've played so far! Good variation in puzzles, not too difficult, but requires a bit of thought and not overly long. Please make more!
Duc  [author] 8 Jan, 2022 @ 3:59am 
@Sethbling
I agree, in the next update it will be more obvious to find.
SethBling 7 Jan, 2022 @ 6:50pm 
Enjoyed the room, however, as many others have said, the book on doors is really hard to find. I spotted the hidden room behind the bookshelves by just walking around behind them, and so I knew that the bookshelf there had to move, and I'd seen the hint about the book on doors, and even then it took a really long time to spot that book. I think some other indication, like a subtle arrow on the floor or something, would help a lot.
Autumn Light 7 Jan, 2022 @ 4:43pm 
Lol. Alright then. 👍
Duc  [author] 7 Jan, 2022 @ 3:44am 
The ring was the first thing made for the room with intent of having a strong LotR theme with the game ending by putting the ring in lava. In the end that concept was abandoned so as not to limit players that had no interest in LotR. But the ring was just left on that table and I was too afraid to pick it up incase it takes me.
Autumn Light 6 Jan, 2022 @ 7:03pm 
So I just finished the room (without hints). I enjoy the LOTR references.
But what the ring for? Or was it just an easter egg? Plus the fire? I thought I had to cast the ring into it lol.

Anyways, thank you for making it. A fun map. I look forward to more.
Zator 6 Jan, 2022 @ 1:05pm 
Really liked it! However the key for the exit didnt work for us.
Duc  [author] 6 Jan, 2022 @ 7:57am 
@Sem
There was a 'To-do' list on the shelves above the first 4 chests that hinted at finding the book on doors. That being said, the book on doors has been a recurring problem for many so said list is probably too hidden.
Sem 6 Jan, 2022 @ 5:05am 
I had a lot of fun with this one, but something I don't really understand is the book of doors. Was there some kind of clue to indicate I had to find that and I just missed it? Or was the intention to scour every book until I noticed one that was different?
Alixx 6 Jan, 2022 @ 4:56am 
That was fun! i got stuck on the pumpkins tho. and i just wish that the pumpkins can be picked up. it took me a lot of time to drag them all to the door.
Duc  [author] 6 Jan, 2022 @ 4:53am 
@niqueedomingo
There's a guide pinned in the discussions that should point you in the right direction.
Alixx 6 Jan, 2022 @ 4:35am 
i'm actually stuck on the pumpkin. can someone help me out?
Duc  [author] 6 Jan, 2022 @ 1:16am 
@Rhienstaag
Thanks for the heads up, I'll sort those things out!

@Jen
I'm glad someone found the swinging axe. They were added for a bit of fun on my part but I suppose they become red herrings as a result. The two people are mates of mine whom this escape room was originally designed for.
Jen 5 Jan, 2022 @ 11:53pm 
This was fun! I'm not a fan of riddles, but these weren't hard at least.

I was very confused at the random "clues" that didn't actually mean anything, like the swinging axe and the LOTR Arwen quote - guess they are intentional red herrings? Also, who are the two people in the photo in the library?
