Unlike most puzzle games and escape rooms, Mother of Frankenstein was designed to be as welcoming and fun for newbies as it is rewarding for experts. Recommended for groups of 1-6, ages 13 and up, MoF combines the dense narrative complexity of a good novel with the physicality and interactivity of immersive theater, the brain-bending challenge of a puzzle-filled escape room with the accessibility and broad appeal of the best board games. Throw in a couple of clue-strewn jigsaw puzzles, and our game truly has something for everyone!

Volume 1 concerns Mary's teenage years. We learn about her education by her iconoclastic father and complete three assignments on the subjects she most loved as a student - poetry, music, and astronomy - each of which is presented in the form of a puzzle. Simultaneously, Mary embarks on a love affair with the dashing (but married) poet Percy Shelley. The course of their courtship is laid out over 15 love letters - complete with original poetry, gorgeous drawings, and some heavy flirting - but be warned, in Mother of Frankenstein, there are always secrets hidden in the spaces between the words, for those who know how to look. . .

I only just started on this, but it's really great. Varied and interesting puzzles, high-quality components, engaging story, and while you definitely need to think - all you need is right there. No need to look for cipher information or feel like you can't do something - you will figure it out and they provide hints if not. Important note: you will most likely need to destroy some things in this game, but they do offer a refill pack for those.
