Wow. Just wow. If you are a fan of wizardry and magic- this is the room for you. Stories that I grew up on came to life right before my eyes. At the end of the game we were rendered speechless. There really are no words for just how amazing this room is! Another reviewer (Busboom) stated Universal should sue just to understand how Magic Universe gained that level of immersion and detail- and I couldn’t agree more. Immersion is a big highlight for me in escape rooms and this was hands down one of the best. Another box I like to check off is not only the quality of puzzles but the difficulty- something that is challenging and unique. After playing 200+ rooms, you see some of the same puzzles over and over again. Magic Universe is the exception. The puzzles all fit with the theme, they all made sense, and a lot of them will stick with me for years to come. There are a few puzzles I have never seen done before and they were so much FUN to complete! That same reviewer brought up the “titan” in the background- Escaparium’s Magnifico. While I have played both, it is hard to pick a favorite between the two. I believe the Magnifico had a more complete storyline at the end while Magic Universe had better puzzles. My number one spot on my list though is still Ctrl Alt Reboot for not only the story, the puzzles, but also the energy that that room manifested. All in all this is a game you must play if you enjoy escape rooms. It was so worth the trip all the way from Florida!! It will be interesting to see how the next TERPECA list falls as we are lucky enough to have so many unbelievable rooms to play!
