First discovered nearly a century ago, the Realm of Magic remains full of the unknown. Within the realm, adventurers have divined uncertain futures and even less certain pasts, dabbled in alchemy creating magical elixirs and tonics and been perplexed by riddles & enchantments. Most recently, we've been receiving reports from returning adventurers from the Realm of Magic that there are signs that the legendary Wand of Illumination is hidden beyond the portal. The legend says that the Wand of Illumination was the most powerful of the original three arcana of Magic. From the forest of Berthelien to the ancient ruins of Tintagel, the wand has been associated with stories of great magical feats and would be a most valuable addition to the Arcadium Collection. Said to have been delivered to an ancient civilization by wise and mythical beings that arrived over the sea on a cloud of mist, the Wand is rumoured to have last been seen during the lifetime of Emrys, Merlin the Great and is often attributed to his spectacular magic.

Absolutely Magical Experience from Start to Finish! I can't recommend Arcadium Adventures enough! From the very first email exchange, I was blown away by their commitment to creating an immersive and magical experience. For a bit of fun, I sent in our booking request in character, and Joie from Arcadium completely played along – not breaking the 4th wall even once, from the emails to when we left their doors. It set the tone for the entire experience, and we were completely enchanted before we even arrived! Upon arrival, the magic continued. We were greeted by a scroll on the floor with a personalized poem that incorporated our group’s names and details I had sent through earlier, including our names with character titles I’d made up. As a graphic designer, I even created little avatars for each of us, which I sent to Arcadium, and to my absolute delight, they had printed them out and used them around the table in the bar area, complete with beautiful calligraphy for each place setting. The attention to detail was incredible! Once the quest began, we found ourselves truly immersed in the story and atmosphere. The puzzles were engaging and challenging, and while we did get stuck a few times, there was a helpful "assistant" who, if you paid close attention, subtly gave us the clues we needed without breaking the immersion. It was just the right amount of assistance, we felt challenged but supported, which made completing the quest even more rewarding. One of the coolest parts was that there were six of us and six different puzzles. Each time we solved one, we received the next clue along with a character card personalized with our avatars. We even got to take all of these custom pieces home as a memento, which added an extra special touch to an already perfect experience. Honestly, this was 100 out of 10. The effort and personalization that went into making our adventure unforgettable cannot be overstated. If you're looking for a truly unique and immersive escape room experience, look no further than Arcadium Adventures!
Gameplay
The gameplay was absolutely fantastic! The puzzles were fun, engaging, and flowed really well. We occasionally got stuck, but the assistant's subtle guidance kept us on track while maintaining the immersion. Completing the quest felt incredibly rewarding!
Atmosphere
The atmosphere was truly magical! The set design, props, and immersive elements were top-notch, and every detail added to the overall experience. The creativity and effort put into making the environment feel alive were impressive and made us feel like we were part of a real adventure.

The staff was beyond amazing! From our first email exchange to the moment we left, they were welcoming, friendly, and completely in character. Joie and the team went above and beyond, adding personalized touches that made our experience feel truly special. Absolutely exceptional customer service!

This was our first foray into the world created by Arcadium Adventures, and it was a fun starting point. Despite two other escape games existing in the same space, it was clear which objects and puzzles pertained to our adventure. The linearity of the puzzles flowed well as a result, and we made it out with ample time to spare. The aesthetics are great, and the inclusion of AR is something different.

A fully immersive experience from the moment you enter the building. You have a well themed game master, your very own table and a bar full of themed drinks! The rooms are different in each storyline is played in the same room. Totally inventive and different. We played at the rooms over 2 days because it was so good and Thaddeus, our game host, went above and beyond! 5 stars highly recommend!
