Spellbound

This room had so much promise, and the theming was great, but the person running it did not enjoy her job and it was often hard to tell what had opened when we did something right or to read what we were staring at. The place is dark (every room) and you only have one small lantern for the whole party. We didn’t finish, and she didn’t even want to show us what we missed (even though we arrived 15 min prior to our time). She didn’t even offer to take our photo. She rushed us out saying the next party was in the lobby (they weren’t). Would not do another room here. A stark difference to the people who ran a Santa room and a Museum Heist room we did earlier in the weekend (who clearly loved both people and their jobs).

My main issue with the room is how loud the ax throwing is next door. There are a lot of subtle clicks that you miss as people are hollering next to you. I think if the atmosphere was better and more immersive, this would have been a “love” room as the puzzles were fun and challenging and the theme was fun. Definitely could be spookier to fit the theme.

If you ignore the noise from axe throwing and crowd it was a great room. Lots of dynamic puzzles that were different! Puzzles were awesome. But it was way too noisy from the axe throwing and crowd to hear things opening after a solve and that wasted most of the time since we didn’t realize something popped open or clicked which made it less immersive. Room was great, just pray if you do go, the axe throwing is limited or they start insulating it more.

Gameplay was good, puzzles were interesting, but we missed when we'd completed some tasks due to how loud the axe throwing was. 😑

We had a bad first experience with the terminal because of the axe throwing, we finally went back to do spellbound and it didn’t disappoint. Absolutely do an escape room when axe throwing isn’t happening if possible. GM was great, they definitely made up for our first experience

Felt like walking onto a film set as the production quality was absolutely phenomenal. So clever and had many different puzzles involved so there's plenty for a group to do. Recommend at minimum 4 people for this room. A bit dim in the room but no flashing lights

One of the few escape rooms we failed to escape. This room was extremely difficult but had great puzzles and set design. One part of it was especially surprising! Highly recommend. Game master told us we had 1 puzzle left to solve before getting it all. They do limit you to 3 hints which added to the challenge. There was a lot of construction going on as I think they were making a new room at the time but we were still able to enjoy the room.

Great room, but could hear the axe throwing at all times. Game master wanted nothing to do with us, and rushed through everything.
