WeaknessesDifficulty leans high: some call the first area confusing and not the most logical. When time runs short, actors may rush you, and with a larger cast some felt the attention was even too much.
StrengthsThe sets and sound make the circus feel alive and scary, with a real sense of scale and thoughtful space. Strong acting with improvisation and tight yet careful contact. There's a plot that leads you through scenes instead of just trying to scare.
SecurityBefore the start, they give clear rules and agree on contact and safe words. The operator stays in touch throughout the quest, and actors work carefully within the chosen level.
Level of fearScary and at times rough: sudden appearances, contact, and constant tension. Not suited for the sensitive or for kids, but you can choose the contact level.
Actors' gameThe clown is often mentioned, sometimes his beloved too; there's plenty of purposeful interaction. Contact is adjustable, play is tight but careful, actors keep the rhythm and help drive the story.
Quality of riddlesPuzzles are varied and on-theme for the circus; some tasks are tough and need hints. Some players stumbled in the first zone, where the logic felt non-obvious. Hints are guiding and gentle, without straight answers.
PlotThe legend about a shuttered circus and a deranged performer unfolds through scenes and lines, with additional characters sometimes joining in. The story pushes you forward and feeds the scares without direct spoilers.
Difficulty levelOverall feels above average, at times bordering on hard. Beginners should take hints or lower the difficulty; experienced players will enjoy it with any contact level.
