To Pimp a Butterfly sold 324,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release, earning a chart debut at number one on the US Billboard 200, while also becoming Lamar's first number-one album in the UK.

Luckily, the clue system is set up nicely to give you a few hints before offering the full solution (useful if you really are paralysed with fear – or if you bang your head falling off your chair from a jump scare – looking u Mairi).To Pimp a Butterfly is the third studio album by American rapper Kendrick Lamar. We had to use the hint system a couple of times to get some nudges (Al does not perform well under fear). We really liked this, as it stopped us getting super distracted by exciting items we found in the envelope, which we wouldn’t actually use until about 5 puzzles in. This combination worked really well as you were guided nicely through each step, making it clear which puzzle was next, and what to use when.

(which Al kept reading as Fergus lol), to see if we could make it out alive. Your run of the mill friendly internet stranger Al was watching the screen through her fingers at some points, and insisted that we turn the volume down after being made to jump off her seat (on more than one occasion).īefore we started playing this game, Ash already had a fear of butterflies… Turns out, she might have been on to something! There were also a number of ‘AHHHH’ moments, especially when we finally got around to opening that sealed envelope. It had a number of “ah-ha” moments as you always want to see in an escape game, but The Butterfly Curse was also markedly different. After Mairi had warned us that word on the street was that The Butterfly Curse was a real ‘scary’ play at home game, we were very excited to see what we would find within the ominous red envelope! We sat down on an extremely snowy afternoon to try out Key Enigma’s game, ‘The Butterfly Curse’.
