A Tale to Unlock

Uncover the Final Secret of Isaac Newton. Can You Decipher the Path to the Philosopher’s Stone?

Whispers tell of Isaac Newton’s final experiment — a secret so dangerous he destroyed his own lab to keep it hidden. Among scattered notes and coded diagrams lies the path to the Philosopher’s Stone, waiting for anyone clever enough to follow it.
As you piece together torn manuscripts and decode forgotten symbols, the laboratory comes alive around you. Every puzzle solved brings you closer to Newton’s greatest discovery… and to the choice of whether its power should be revealed or remain lost forever.
Will you rise as a true alchemist—or be lost to history like those before you?

My adults were enjoying this activity. They struggled at first, but once they learnt how it worked, it was just a matter of solving the puzzles. Super fun! Students do need previous experience with these kinds of tasks.

Takes quite a bit to put together, and it's very challenging, but that's what we were hoping for! Thank you!

This one was more difficult than previous one purchased, but still a-lot of fun. Due to difficulty, it was better played with a smaller number of players - 3 to 4. Mainly due to amount of detailed items you had to look at. We did like that you had to use previous clues to solve future puzzles. Kept you focused.

Absolutely amazing experience @company offsite

We were super impressed, what an incredible escape game! From the very beginning, the support was great. We got good advice on which game to choose, and it turned out to be a total success.
At first, I was a bit worried it might be too difficult, but that fear was completely unfounded. We played it as part of an offsite event for a consultancy, split into 7 teams with 4-5 people each, and had the teams compete against each other. It was a real head-to-head race! After almost two hours, one group finally solved the puzzle and claimed victory.
The game itself is quite challenging, but once you get into it, it’s incredibly smart and cleverly designed. We had so many “aha!” moments; everyone was fully engaged and having a great time. From juniors to partners, every single person was involved, motivated, and laughing.
The only small downside was the setup: since we had to prepare the game seven times (cutting, gluing, etc.), it took two of us several hours over a few days. But honestly, it was absolutely worth it and the final result looked fantastic.
Huge thanks to the creators. You can really tell how much thought and effort went into developing this. It’s impressive. I can wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone! All my colleagues even noted down your name afterwards.
Cheers and greetings from Berlin!

Great puzzles, beware of spoilers in setup

We are keen puzzlers and escape room players and the difficulty of this was just right! Really satisfying and fun variety of challenges. Opening the envelopes to see what was inside was a nice moment each time.
One complaint: assembling the game involves putting the "congratulations you won" card in a numbered envelope, so the person who sets it up unavoidably knows the final answer. Disappointing given the site says "setting up the game does not spoil the game in any way", an alternative verification method would be much better.

Hi Jo,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback — we’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the puzzles and variety of challenges!

Regarding your point about the final envelope: while you do see the winning card during setup, this doesn’t spoil the game itself. The heart of an escape room experience is in the puzzle-solving journey — piecing together the logic, clues, and creative twists along the way. Knowing the final code or card doesn’t give away how any of the puzzles are solved, so the challenge and fun remain intact.

That said, we really appreciate your note and will keep it in mind as we continue improving our games. Your perspective is very helpful, and we’re happy you found the puzzles both fun and satisfying!

R
Rachel S. (United Kingdom)
Really hard!

Really difficult (used as an escape room for adult work colleagues). Enjoyed but nobody got past puzzle 4 of 7 in an hour.
For 4 groups it took me a couple of days (whilst working) to cut out and assemble all of the parts. I didn’t read the part first off that said you could use different envelopes which would have been sensible. But the printed envelopes did look good!

Thank you so much for your feedback! 😊 You’re absolutely right — this game is one of our more challenging ones, and we do mention on the product page that it usually takes at least 90 minutes to solve. It’s a real treat for puzzle lovers who enjoy a proper brain workout!

As for setup, it definitely shouldn’t take days — most customers get everything ready in about an hour. If you swap the included themed envelopes for regular ones (as we suggest in the instructions), the prep time is cut down by more than half. That said, the printed envelopes do look fantastic, so we’re glad you liked how they turned out!

Thanks again for playing — we love hearing how groups tackle the puzzles, even when they prove tough!
