It's a wacky maze where anything could happen. There's hardly any theme besides "wacky" and "random." Many times common sense doesn't apply. Spoilers:nothing is connected. Just roll dice when the gm tells, don't use logic or try to solve the mystery.
Also, there's a chase near the end. It goes on for ten challenges, and there's no reward or penalty for catching up to the target. I hate challenges with no point, and I'm not a fan of the chase rules in general.
I've looked at the special PF or SF dice online dozens of times and said "How ugly and hard to read!" Well, I was wrong! I was buying individual mini from an online store, and I needed five more bucks for free shipping, and these were on sale, so I took a gamble. And it paid off! These dice are beautiful and unlike any others I own. However, compared to a standard Chessix set, they are harder to read, but not as hard as they look in photos. They are a fantastic addition to my collection. I mostly use them to count the rounds remaining in my weapons. I don't worry about accidentally rolling them, since they look so different.

I think this adventure has a lot to offer. It's a great social and stealth quest, with enough combat for the barbarian.
However, this adventure should not be for 1st level characters, I think. Sneak around an evil country to smuggle people out? It's conceptually hard for new players and separate, but relatedly, for low-level characters.
Spoiler:
I especially like the bit with the golem, but again, he's just impossible to wrap my head around without even 2nd-level spells. Fantastic character, I hope to see him again.
If you are running this, I strongly recommend trying to get a third/fourth level group, and switching if any newcomers shows up.
This was fun, but way too short. It's barely two hours. I'm also unsure who this product is for. The 5th level characters are too complicated for beginners, and experienced players would probably rather be playing their own characters. The characters have nice backgrounds, but only the cleric is really integrated to the adventure. There's one good puzzle. There's no reason to recommend this adventure when you could run anything else for more playtime and with your own character.
