IT has a very nice scenery (and sound system) that gives you the feeling being in the movie.

The first Part of the game is the more the puzzle part. I like the hint system. I think it’s unique. We used it much to often, because some of the riddles were not entirely clear to us. They are within the story, no doubt, but for my taste a bit to time-consuming.

The second part of the game is the horror part which is very successful in terms of atmosphere. The scenery is really impressive, creepy and of course ideally suited for Pennywise ? to frighten the players.

The game offers enough space and puzzles for 3-4 players. There are passages where teamwork is required. What disturbed me, especially in this part of the game, was that there were too few light sources. So two people were taken out of the game for some time.

Despite the two points of criticism, it was a cool experience that I would not want to miss. The game master was very friendly and did a good job.
