Now on Kickstarter: a riveting home mystery adventure
You may have seen it on our socials: we’ve launched a beautiful adventure game that you can play with friends at home, called The Medusa Report. Created by the wonderful Ruud Kool, developed with Sherlocked.
Within 2 (!) hours after launch, we already reached our funding goal and quickly after that, passed our first stretch goal, which unlocked the creation of a bonus puzzle for every game!
Our next stretch goal: this sexy pin that makes its wearer part of the shadowy spy organisation behind the mysterious Medusa. Wear it at your own risk…
If you recall, we’re massive fans of Ruud’s games. They are unlike any other - his creativity, storytelling skills and his attention to detail combine to make them truly immersive experiences, no setting or special effects required.
It’s been a joy to help him develop and playtest this new version of The Medusa Report, which already went through 2 editions in Dutch, before getting even further improved and translated for this Kickstarter.
There's a whole bunch of reasons to back the game on Kickstarter instead of later on.
First: it’s cheaper.
If you get The Special Agent edition, you’ll receive -among other things- the very cute Kickstarter-exclusive enamel pin shown above (and perhaps even both enamel pins, if we hit our next stretch goal!)”
You support Ruud and us in making more high quality games like this, which take ages to develop.
The game is reset-able, so after you play it with your friends, you can pass it on to other friends, or even sell your copy.
The reviews have been mind-blowing as well. We’ve linked to every review on the Kickstarter page, but here are a few snippets:
Armchair Escapist: "It’s a rarity for us to come across some truly original puzzle mechanics, and this game had it in spades.”
The Escape Roomer: "I opened up The Medusa Report and immediately fell in love." (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and a Badge of Honour)
Chris Fairfield: "The Medusa Report had a very high bar to clear in order to meet the quality of its predecessor, but it’s managed to do so with air to spare."
Escape the Review: "The Medusa Report is a real treat. I found myself sucked into the world it builds pretty much as soon as I opened the box, and absorbed by it until we found the last answer."
Review the Room: "Well done Diorama, you’ve put some original and extremely unique puzzles in this game – hats off." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
There’s more news coming soon, among other things about The Alchemist, as well as some fun recommendations for outdoor adventures to do over the summer.
For now, we wish you a wonderful weekend full of sunshine and a dash of mystery!
