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

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 — 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?

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.

Spooky
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.

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.

There are a couple of stairs to go up and down pretty consistently. And get ready to crawl.

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.

Very accommodating with storing our suitcases during the game before our flight.

Great set design use of space, doesn't feel like you're in a modern building but an appropriately ancient castle.

This was such a fun, immersive room! We almost didn’t do this room- but we are so glad we did! They are able to achieve a level of immersion I didn’t think was possible for the theme! Absolutely recommend!

Fun linear puzzle. We had to use the gears in our head for one of the beginning puzzles but afterwards was able to push forward. The ambience was great. Involved alot of physical manuevering and can get quite warm. Also a bit heavy on the theatric smoke. Nonetheless, was fun for our crew of two. Completed this one on turkey day. Thx Tim for hosting us!

What a fun adventure!! I’d recommend 2-3 people as the game is linear and the spaces can be tight. I felt particularly immersed in the fantasy genre, due to my own media consumption as of late lol, and I loved the way the gradual unlocking and subsequent exploration of this tiny castle continued at a steady pace throughout the entire game, and even after it ended.

An absolutely fantastic, immersive room! They really made the small space feel huge. So many incredible props and practical effects too. The room is linear and feels like you’re on a quest in the best way possible. The vibe is a bit spooky and mysterious but the room itself isn’t scary (although I did scream a couple of times when loud noises happened). Overall would highly recommend this room! Huge shoutout to our GM Tim for the great experience and for chatting with us afterwards. PS: Tim said not all GMs give out the torch, and I highly recommend the torch. It adds to immersion and makes it much easier to see.
