Just ran this adventure last night with brand new players. The 'Escape Room' concept is one they were all familiar with so it gave them a shorthand for what they might expect in the game. I made the portraits, nametags and items in to phisical props which made them extra excited each time they found one. Really good balance and I love a oneshot that has a real world timelimit. The house spat them out before the final fight. They might go back who knows. I have used this as a begining in to a homebrewed campaing. Thank You! For other DMs: As its a puzzel house you will need to read theough a few times to make sure you understand how each thing is connects.

This was my first solo adventure. Im an eternal DM and finally getting to play as a PC was great. The story was interesting and challenging. Will get the others for sure.
