It's a tough call, but I think this was my favorite room at Exit Strategy. I didn't love the guidebook -- I prefer figuring out things more organically -- and suspect that players wanting a bigger challenge could mostly ignore it. There were two moments in the room that I wasn't quite expecting but found delightful. Like all Exit Strategy games, they aim for a 100% success rate, so this is not a difficult room, especially for enthusiasts. It's still well worth playing. That's not to say the game was perfect - there was a bit of a tech hiccup with a magical artifact. Talking to the GM afterwards, it's something they're aware of but seems difficult to fix.
I really enjoyed nerding out with Mike(?), the tech person at Exit Strategy. Knowing we were enthusiasts, he spent a good amount of time taking us through some of the behind-the-scenes implementation.

This is a very tech filled room with lots of magical aspects. We all really enjoyed the game play and the few ahh ha moments along the way. In my 500+ rooms there was an element to the game that I had never seen before. I highly recommend this game to anyone who is a beginner to an expert as I can assure you will leave with a smile on your face.

Magic themed rooms are generally not our favorite but that said this room had very good theming and most of all a logical flow of what to do next which can be difficult in "magic" rooms in our experience. Was a little on the easy side which kept it from getting a heart from us but would be great for newcomers for that reason.

Possibly the best gameplay integration of a story. Very good theming and a delightful variety of puzzles.
The gameplay was great! Everything flowed together really well and the puzzles did a great job of indicating when you were on the right track.
Extremely immersive with solid set design
Our GM was amazing. Introduced the game in character and remained the character until we stepped out.
Yes
The immersion was second to none and there were a couple unique mechanisms I've not encountered before.
Entirely incorporated in to the game; excellent job.

Little on the easy side. If you are looking for a difficult set of puzzles you might be disappointed.

You'll rely mostly on your 'magic' here with very little in the way of locks

Staff was great, room was high tech. There were several glitches which was frustrating to the overall experience. Minimal to no locks (itβs been a while) and more of an interactive type room. Not really my style. Kids loved it though.

A well done high technology room but for enthusiasts it was way to easy. The 3 of us escaped with 33.57 left on the clock and that included some glitches with the technology and set failures. Great room for Harry Potter Fans and kids and beginners
It flowed very well and was a fun room but very easy. The checklist that they provide you actually makes it even easier but helped with the flow
Nice set design and very immersive
GM was awesome.

This is a cute little game, it took us only 33 minutes to do the room, but it was fun. Great set design, some very simplistic puzzles, not that thatβs a bad thing, in fact, in made the room flow very well. There was some cool technology as well, though it was very finicky at time. Minor set damage and a puzzle not really working but otherwise, good fun little room.
