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?

Had a really wonderful time in this room. Definitely better than their Mafia room. Delightful experiences with a couple Wow moments. Highly recommend. We escaped with 3 of us and 14 minutes to go.

This place is well well made. They have put a-lot of work in to giving you the best experience. To be fair I haven’t done that many escape rooms but this one so far has been my favorite. I definitely want to come back and try the Attic next with some friends. Great place quiet area.

Our GM was super nice! Walking into the room it was well decorated and really fit the medieval theme. The puzzles were very unique and flowed very well. There were some pretty cool effects that impressed us. This is a must do room! It’s perfect for 2 people. More than 4, and it will feel crowded. Overall, we had a great time!

Extremely different. Do it! Only thing I say is that it can get hot in there so make sure to wear something fresh.

If there was a "mid" option, I'd put it. Staff was easy to read in terms of putting on a nice face for customers, but we could tell they wanted as little interaction with us as possible. No praise other than the regular congratulatory at the end for a group that got out in half an hour? Cmon man. I feel like I have to mention this at all escape rooms not but I HATE nudging unless we're behind on time. (Its like they WANTED us out asap rather than letting us have our experience)

Story
It was okay... Not memorable tbh. Its Curse of the Black Knight but were aiding the dead daughter of a royal family who wants to pass to the afterlife? Not sure what we gain from it... freedom? The story wasnt well established on our role in the room.
Difficulty
Easy
Considering we got out with half an hour with no hints needed (cuz apparently they like to nudge at the earliest convenience :( we didnt need it imo womp womp) Id definitely put this at more of the easier difficulty. Im impressed with the production value of the room but not so much anything else.

Additional details
Crawling and climbing required in some parts of game. We do not process returns once a party has booked that time slot. Any party that is late to their showing forfeits their time in the game. We appreciate bookings that are done 24 hours in advance; there is limited availability online for last-minute bookings. Please arrive 15 minutes (and no more than 30 minutes) prior to your start time. Games will start at the scheduled time — NO EXCEPTIONS. If you or members of your group are late, you forfeit that time from your game play. For your safety and the safety of others, we will not be able to let you into the room if we suspect you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
