This is definitely one of our top 3 favorite rooms. We are big Harry Potter fans, so of course we loved the theme. The rooms are incredibly immersive and transport you straight to Wizarding school. We took our 7 year old with us and the room was fun for all of us. The puzzles were very hands on, which she loved. Only a few of them required an adult brain. Our GM was Annika and she was great. Very kind, very attentive, and started the magical vibe from the very beginning. All in all, we had a fantastic experience and highly recommend this room!

One of my favorites! We had nine people, including some who were twelve years old, so it was chaotic but enjoyable! There were five adults and four kids! The production was detailed, and the themes and the introduction were well-crafted. It’s unfortunate that it’s no longer available. I would definitely do it again! I loved the theme, the story, and the design.

I loved this room! There were a lot of puzzles that had us scratching our heads but ended up figuring out without taking much time. I think the difficulty level of medium is true. There were certain intricacies about the room that I really enjoyed. The GM was very friendly as well. I recommend!

It was a pretty solid room. Creative on the kind of themed puzzles you do. Done with a group of 7, but a few of us didn't contribute much to the puzzles just acting as support. Likely doable with a group of 3-4 active escapers.

So fun! The decoration is truly phenomenal. The room was pretty difficult and technical; we needed a couple extra minutes, which our game master was kind enough to give us, and that was after skipping over one portion for time's sake. Still, so glad we had the opportunity to finish the room, and the puzzles were really thought provoking!

Accessibility
Access between rooms for wheelchair users seems impossible. Both stepping over a threshold and crawling are required. Lots of audible instructions needed, including mimicking the rhythm of a knock that could be difficult to hear.

The room was fantastic, everything about it was magical. Some of the puzzles required you to use your wand to do one of the clues while some of them requires you to have some basic knowledge about math and science. Overall, this was a great experience for me and my group.

This game makes you feel like a wizard and a scientist at the same time.

We almost finished the game with no hints but we struggled a bit on the last part that the GM had to help us find the last clue.

I loved the theming for this room and enjoyed playing through it. I was only disappointed that it was so quick and easy. We got out in 38 minutes as a group of experienced escape room enthusiasts. Some parts were simply following directions with nothing to figure out. So while a fun experience, it wasn’t challenging enough. I would have given it a ❤️ if the puzzles had been more difficult and we had gotten to spend more time in the room solving things.
Gameplay
The overall gameplay was great, I just wish there was more of it. We got out with over 20 minutes, which is always a let down.

We would have liked to do this room with just 2 people, but it was more expensive per person. But 2 would have been enough.

There is a part that everyone would ideally like to crawl for so you can all participate in a puzzle.

Good except the small crawling part would be difficult for some.
