Nearly got there! I'm sure there's a misplay somewhere to explain my 99 and second-place finish, but it was fun to play Landmarks for the first time. @alderaceg.bsky.social

We had a blast tackling Velgus’ Murder at the Atelier escape room—just the right level of challenge. Highlight: a hilarious misplay when my sister (who lives very close to Canada) spelled “gray” as “grey,” and we ended up with “BROWNIE” as a color. 🤣 @solisgamestudio.bsky.social
