My friend and I started by meeting up at the portal for Ascension at the MadPea Mainstore where we purchased our HUDs and walked through.
When you walk through you are met with a little cutscene and opening credits. When you are free to walk around you are placed on the street down the road with a view of the tower.
Road to Ascension Tower
-
Once inside the tower we sat in the lobby before getting on the elevator to start at floor 1.
Ascension Tower Lobby
-
We both tried to get on the elevator at the same time and I was met with a tragic end with my first death.
Walk of Shame after dying
-
Soon after trying to solve the first puzzle, my friend was then killed for getting it wrong 3 times. I took a nice hydration break waiting for him to come back.
Chilling by the water cooler
-
It took us quite some time to get the first puzzle, we luckily got a hint from a friendly SL resident which was a big help. We took our time making our way through each of the floors. The first few all look pretty similar as an office setting, but upon reaching floor 4 it was a nice change of scenery.
Another floor of the tower
-
Each floor after that was different and was a welcomed sight. Some puzzles were more difficult than others.
Another floor of the tower
-
We finally made it to the end after many hours of scratching our heads, but we warned there is a good and bad ending!
I can flyyy
-
All in all it was another fun experience from the team at MadPea. The website says it should take about 2-3 hours, but it took us probably 5 or 6 overall 💀 Regardless though it was still a lot of fun!
