Spellbound

Would not recommend this room or establishment. Axe throwing and noise is ridiculously loud and ruins the immersion and ability to hear small clicks and mechanisms. You hear loud thuds and crashes and people yelling as if they were 3 feet away. Worker didn’t seem too enthralled about being there either. Room theming was solid but lots of gimmicky find random object puzzles and too much back and forth. The axe throwing alone is enough to not recommend this place.

The axe throwing ruined the cool vibe of the room. Really good ambience and cool puzzles ruined by a lack of visibility/nonfunctional lamp and the axe throwing. Also the employees weren't at all enthusiastic about their job.

I agree with what many other reviewers say: 1) The loudness from their axe throwing business certainly takes you out of the atmosphere for this room. The GM even made a comment about that at the beginning before we started the room. So they are aware of the problem, but do not care to fix it. 2) This room is packed with more puzzles than the average room, so you will really be pressing yourself to get out in time. We were able to get out with 2 experienced players, but we only had a couple minutes left at the end and we did use a few hints. I would recommend this room overall for the great puzzles, but I can’t give it a love due to the loud axe throwing that kills the atmosphere.

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
