# Cirque Du Mystere

In honor of Halloween, MadPea Productions opened their newest experience on October 20th called Cirque Du Mystere. As always MadPea Productions put down an amazing interactive game filled with puzzles, mysteries and great rewards. For the small price of $L500 (free for premium members) you can join this adventure and have a wonderful Halloween gameplay. You can play this interactive game alone or with friends and have fun solving riddles together and maybe have some cute pictures along the way.

How do I join?

If you wish to play the experience you should go to the starting point and purchase your HUD. It will appear in your objects and you simply add the HUD and accept all permissions. I highly recommend playing with the shared environment settings and with advanced lightning on, so you'll see the game as it's meant to be showcased. I would also recommend joining the MadPea group, or the premium group. When you get stuck in the experience you can ask in the group chat for some hints or advices how to proceed.

Storyline

We travel back in time to October 1995 to the town of Squall's End. The yearly returning circus has been back to your town for as long as you can remember. Over the years, kids have gone missing; explained away, by the police, as runaways who’ve joined the circus. The story begins with you getting a phone call from your mother. Your younger brother who is suppose to be grounded has gone missing, it's up to you to find him by following the storyline at Cirque Du Mystere and getting one step closer every time.

My Experience

Overall MadPea did not disappoint me and created a beautiful interactive game. I did however find there were less puzzles than I'm used to and more skill games involved, such as jumping, balance, running etc. I personally like that a lot even tho the games were incredibly hard for me personally and I skipped quite a few after dying several times and just gave up.

I do like the story line, but I felt sometimes things haven't been clear to what you should do. Yes there are hints hidden everywhere but a little clarification would have been nice, especially at the start I noticed in the group chat a lot of people struggled with the first part and I did myself as well, luckily there are some very kind players offering their help.

Now I played for the first time at the very beginning of the opening of the game. Which meant a lot of lags, overly crowded sim and sometimes not even be able to get into the region due to it being full. However I did not feel this took away from my experience. From the moment you step foot into the starting area you get sucked in right away by the amazing decor, the realistic music and sounds added to the characters and the drive to complete your tasks and games. I really wanted to find my 'brother' and solve the quest.

I did have fun playing the game, and it took me around 4 hours to complete the complete experience. The story really peeked my interest and I wanted to find the answers. If you are a MadPea player there is a total of 16 achievements to win worthy of 700 points.

Ratings

Gameplay: 10/10

It's not a simple story line through notecards or clicking and reading.

You actually interact with the gameplay and there for I rate it 10/10.

Storyline: 8/10

I do love the storyline but personally it feels incomplete. Spoiler Alert!

I wish I had seen who my brother is, or have a more detailed ending.

The story leads up to quite a big reveal and in the end it ended a bit soft for my taste.

Difficulty: 9/10

There are times where you are really with your hands in your hair, screaming at your screen.

I find most of the games very difficult to complete, mainly because when you die you get teleported out of the game and need to walk all the way back to the wagon and wait your que in line to restart the game. This to me was quite exhausting and eventually made me give up after 2 or 3 tries. Some puzzles I haven't even been able to solve and had to get coins to skip the chapters. I still want to know how they work but damn they are difficult.

Rewards: 10/10

I am so relieved with these rewards at the end. There are not only gore and creepy items but also items that you can use for a cute Halloween decor/appearance. If you are curious about the rewards you can see them here before playing the game.

Extra Advice

Do get yourself a piece of paper and a pen, and write down every little detail.

Do explore around the terrain and click on everything to discover clues.

Do join the MadPea group and don't be afraid to ask for help when needed.

Start the experience when you have the time, avarage time to finish is 3 hours.

I do suggest to play with friends, it's more fun and 2 brains do more than 1.
