Mark as done to rate

Since the passing of the legendary knight Melkor and disappearance of his sword, a great curse has fallen on the town. A thick fog lingers through the village β€” persisting far longer than normal. It has long been said that the only way to bring back balance to the land is to return to sword to its rightful home. Can you return the sword and lift the curse before time runs out?

This room gets huge bonus points for its immersiveness. The set design is fantastic and the way they used this fairly small space to make it feel larger is most impressive. The story was a fun, medieval theme and the room really makes you feel like you’re in a tiny corner of a castle somewhere. 🏰 The puzzles were fun and enjoyable. I do have to note that we escaped with 29+ minutes left, only using half our time in the room. This was playing with just 2 people who weren’t trying to rush through. It’s always disappointing to spend so much money on an escape room and then escape so quickly that you feel you didn’t get your money’s worth. But that being said, we really loved this room and had a great experience here. I give it a πŸ‘πŸΌ, but if they added more puzzles to make this a more challenging room, it would earn a ❀️ from me. Would recommend to smaller groups as well as families. Kids would love this room too.

Fantastic. Better set design and use of space than the average escape room. It’s impressive what they did with such a small space.

Accessibility

By default this would be a challenge for someone who is physically limited. You can probably still do this room if you have others in your group to do this part, but I would call them to ask.

Great set with lots of fun areas to explore. Some people will need to climb or crawl. The puzzles were on the easy side and we wished there was a bit more content to get through because we finished with plenty of time, left, despite not trying to rush.

Over all my group of 5 absolutely loved it! The puzzles were challenging but not impossible. Loved that we could not get full hints, just slight pushes in the right direction. Our GM Tim was very helpful and lead us perfectly to escape the rooms with a minute left. If this room was this well thought out and detailed I can not wait to come back and see the rest. Will be back.

It is probably the best medieval themed escape room in Orange County. Surprisingly big in such a small space. The design is Hollywood level.

We love how this room turned out! I really admire how they turned a small space into multiple rooms where you can go up and down. There weren’t a lot of puzzles, and they were pretty easy, so we had a lot of time left. Our GM was really nice, and we even chatted a bit at the end about their new project, which was really fun. Definitely coming back to try their new room.

The space is a bit tight so I'd say 2-3 people max.

I'm easily scared so the vibe is kinda spooky to me. However, there's no jump scares and it's not meant to be scary at all.

4 escape rooms

The best escape room I've been to so far in my new journey of escape rooms. It's incredibly emersive, the story was well told. I had the best time for my birthday, our party was 3 inexperienced people. Even though I know it, I want to go again.

Truly immersive sounds and very cool lighting. Some other effects too that I'll keep for everyone to experience for themselves!

Scary

Not scary

I'm easily scared. I kept worrying there will be jump scares but there aren't any. Any time the GM would talk or prerecorded messages would play i'd jump a little but that's because I was expecting to be scared. In the end it wasn't scary at all.

Great room for inexperienced! Very immersive and layout. Two inexperienced and two experience and we got out with 20 mins to spare. Either way it was fun!

Really great customized space, designed in surprising and unique ways so it feels delightfully immersive beyond what most escape rooms can accomplish. Cool use of tech and set magic, sticks well to their theme. All around a super fun experience even if we finished a bit faster than we expected, the puzzles were still enjoyable and they didn't feel too easy. Tight space (and smooth puzzling if you're good) so I recommend two players.
