It's great! Atmosphere was top notch. Staff was incredible. If you enjoy certain franchises that feature wizard adventures, both rooms will be awesome for you. For the most part, good puzzle flow. For an experienced group of 4, some of the puzzles went a little long and required waiting for other members to finish a step. Great place, I recommend doing all the rooms. If atmosphere (and living out your wizard exploration fantasy) is most important to you, I recommend this one. If puzzle quality and variety is most important to you, maybe go with the goblin one. Both rock!

It was a magical experience and I understand why people love it. Definitely the best wizard/Harry Potter-esque themed room we've done. Truth is, we would've loved this even more if we had done this earlier in our escape room journey, but we've seen a lot of other great rooms. I wouldn't do this with too large a group or else there won't be enough to do in the second half. We got out with 11+ minutes remaining, but we also wasted 5+ minutes on one puzzle just trying to see in the dark. There's a fun mix of puzzles (oh puns). One puzzle we weren't particularly fond of because we knew what to do/look for, it just was hard to do so in super dim lighting so it was a bit of a time-waster. But it was a fun and magical immersive experience and will tickle your Harry Potter dreams at least a little.

It starts off well for a group of 4, but some in our group felt like they didn't get to contribute as much later on because it got really linear.

With there being a lot of wizard rooms in existence, this one had a lot of different puzzles and was very magical in it's creation. Definitely worth the trip. Game master was great and helpful too

One of the best wizard rooms I’ve ever played. There were so many unexpected turns during this escape room.

Highly recommend, especially for HP lovers!! It was super immersive, especially with the production design and technology. You really feel like you’re in the wizarding world. The interior was so cool; it was hard to believe it was just in some random industrial building. The plot itself was nothing extraordinary (just trying to find an object like most other escape rooms), but atmosphere was amazing. And I was repeatedly shocked by the special effects. Definitely some of the coolest effects I’ve seen in an escape room so far. The gameplay is pretty linear, so a group of 2-3 (maybe 4) is ideal (any more than that and you’ll probably have some people just standing around). You’re allowed unlimited hints, so you can ask for as little or as many as you want.

Gameplay

Puzzles were pretty unique, and the accompanying special effects were impressive.

Atmosphere

Atmosphere was amazing, especially for Harry Potter fans. Loved the production design (could not believe that it was just in a random building!) and we were repeatedly surprised by how cool some of the puzzles/tech were. The use of wands was a great idea and made the game feel very immersive.
