I had a fantastic time playing MA for the first time. I loved the Nancy Drew mystery approach, though some of the sentence structure was screwy and we really lost time on one task because of this. The Disneyland portion was more enjoyable, though I think part of the frustration in DCA was not being able to split up. With no central hub, you really do spend a lot of time running in circles to get around. Still, there were "Eureka" moments throughout the adventure that made the whole day worth it. And enjoying a meal with friends after was all the reward I needed.
Thanks to my teammates for making it such a positive first experience, and sorry again to NA for snapping!
