Review on Break In™ Alcatraz By PlayMonster - Unlock The Mystery Of America'S Most Infamous Prison by Keith Saywon

My spouse and I play all sorts of mystery games- even those made for far more advanced players. This game is so convoluted that we couldn’t even get the gameplay instructions straight. For each segment, you need to find a completely unrelated color,Number, and symbol. These 3 items have very little to do with the story and are simply found by comparing found clues to other materials included. Such as 3rd floor = blue (etc.)The instructions are terrible and the lack of a cohesive narrative are appalling. For the price I paid, I did not expect much, but I expected some semblance of a playable game. We’ve never had to return a game for unplayability before but we just did.The concept is very cool, but If you look up advice online, you’ll find a load of confused gamers not able to understand the gameplay either.There’s a "objective” location in the second half that simply doesn’t exist. It’s fairly bad that the game recommends you use numerous hint cards right off the bat just to understand gameplay dynamics (or lack thereof). Unfortunately, this is a poor excuse for a game. Not worth the frustration.
