Violet Y. ★★★★★

The historical premise is such a clever hook, and I actually found myself chuckling at the "Barred Bard" pun while working through the puzzles. It's the perfect mix of education and brain-teasing for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Andrew W. ★★★★★

The puzzle in the Globe Theatre recreation really made me feel like I was sleuthing through Elizabethan London, and the dialogue had me chuckling at every Shakespearean pun thrown my way. I burned through three sittings just to see how Bill's reputation would be saved.

Emily ★★★★★

I'm a sucker for historical puns and this game delivers them nonstop while you're untangling the whole plagiarism mess. The puzzles kept me guessing and the Elizabethan setting felt properly fleshed out. Ended up finishing it in one sitting, which says a lot.
