The Little Rascals (Emperor’s New Crew in MA speak) have found their way into the game and are excited to be playing the first edition of this game! I still remember reading with envy all the old MouseAdventure recaps before I was able to play myself and vividly remember reading about the very first MouseAdventure.
As a frequent goer to Universal as well, I’m hoping this will provide a fresh look at the parks for me!
@niklj happy you can join us!
Today is the last day to register!
Thank you to the Third Gate crew for an amazing day!
The Churro Chasers had a great time as usual. We had to miss both competitive MA events last year, so we were really itching to get out there yesterday. Universal made for a great location and we are thrilled with our second place finish. This was probably the first event our team was really firing on all cylinders, and it felt great.
We cruised through the first several puzzles and felt like we were making great time. We went a little crazy looking for the ET plaque in the lower lot, and then again for Dorothy’s birth date in Westminster, but ultimately found both. This was also the first time our team actually found the hidden quest! Such a fun day all around. I’m already looking forward to the next game.
Do you plan on doing a recap and score list similar to MouseAdventure’s post game process?

The Little Rascals also gives their thanks to the TGG team for a great time. I didn’t really know what to expect considering the difference in the amount of theming between USH and DL/DCA but was pleasantly surprised. It really did help me see things in a new way, which is partly the reason I play these games. In particular, I was astounded by the amount of theming in the Westminster area of the park.
Our team was able to solve all the quests (save for the hidden quest/eye spies), which is a first for me! We were really excited until we heard that several other teams achieved the same thing :p
We were really struggling finding the ET plaque. We were stuck on the word “nearby” and were checking The Mummy and even Jurassic Park. Finally my teammate said “What if it’s at Panda Express?” And bam.
I thought these puzzles were a little easier than usual (I’m used to the MA “we give you more tham we expect you to finish, time management is part of the strategy”) but I thought it made for great pacing because we needed all downtime we could get due to the heat and the lack of shade the park has.
Lots of people were interested in what we were doing and I think we gave away all our cards within the first two hours.
My favorite quest, I think, was the cypher quest because I didn’t get to solve it last time during MA as my other teammates were in charge of that while I solved the logic puzzle. It is a very cool puzzle. Thank you to Chris for cutting up all those pieces of tape.
Speaking of cool puzzles, I did miss the evil paragraph and the logic puzzles. After the word search, those are my jam.
Overall I would love to see another game at USH but I am intrigued by a game at Knott’s now that I know that this game seems travel well!
Great job to all involved. And thanks for my new little Minion!
Thanks for the great recaps, @ryan and @niklj! Glad you both enjoyed the event.
