This is a little bit different for us! We love Escape Rooms and how these types of experiences have translated into tabletop experiences. This is not quite an escape room, but a narrative puzzle game that is certainly a brain-workout. It's stunning, and thematic, and we wanted to tell you all about it (well, as much as we could without any spoilers).

Thanks for stopping by for our review of The Light in the Mist! We're Amy & Maggie aka ThinkerThemer. We're an Australian couple with two very different perspectives of what makes a great board game - Amy (Thinker) is all about the mechanics and enjoys tight, competitive games, and Maggie (Themer) is all about the storytelling and the theme of the game, and the 'world' that the designer is trying to create. Subscribe to our channel to hear us talk about these two elements of a game, and how well integrated we feel these are in delivering a cohesive and wonderful game experience.
