Awards & Press
"Once underway, [Tyler] Check does a wonderful job of setting the stage and guiding the “audience players” through their adventure in this magical world. He does so with deft humour, along with the help of a small sound system, cheeky effects and an excellent original score by Sayer Roberts to maintain the mood." - Will Britton, The Whig
