The Wizard's Curse

i would rank this 4 of the 7 games we played i love the theme

Great use of a small space. "Wizarding Wands" games are not a theme I love, but this was a pretty good one with some puzzles I hadn't seen before and a surprising ending.

Cu’s smallest game size-wise but this game was PACKED with puzzles! A fun take on a Wizard game, definitely a great warm up for CU’s meatier games!

This room and Forest of Fables were my favorites of all the rooms at CU Adventures in Time and Space! We escaped them all while we were in town but I really enjoyed the game play and the setup of this room. I appreciate their attention to detail in all their rooms and their game masters really just complete the package!

This is a solid, good, room. It feels like a solid appetizer to the more entre type games at CU. Perhaps it suffers a little from comparison to the other rooms at CU, but like I said it was solid. Very good use of space and some very fun elements, especially our "host". We had an unusually hard time with THE VERY FIRST CLUE, which probably had to do with stepping out of a car after 7 hours of driving and straight into an escape room. Not the most difficult room, but not too easy either. I would suggest going ahead and playing the game especially if you are a completionist who needs to see eberything at CU.

Loved this room its full fantasy and fun. Puzzles were very in depth for a smaller room and I loved the creativity and magical elements.

1st time visiting CU Adventures after reading a lot of great things about this company going in and CUA lived up to the hype. On our visit, it was only 2 of us, so we were limited to playing Wizards Curse, Revenge of the Cabin, and Scrooge’s Christmas Trap. Each game is doable with 2 people, but having a few more people for all of them may helpful. Wizards Curse was extremely fun. The set design was Hollywood quality and you really felt like you were in a wizardly world. No TV screens in the room so although you could not definitively know how much time you had left, there was an electronic hourglass fixture which did track the time. CUA does not have a standard timer clock because they do not want to ruin the immersion quality of their rooms, and it seems their goal is for customers to have a great “successful” experience, so if their customers need a few extra minutes to experience the entire room, they will allow for that (and the customer may not even realize they were given some extra time). The room had numerous areas to explore and there was a lot packed into each new space you discovered, including movable walls. There were a variety of different puzzles and good use of different technology throughout the experience. Very few locks/keys, with some physical puzzles, physical interactions, teamwork related puzzles, and a final battle that was memorable. I love rooms that transform into areas and experiences that you did not anticipate, and this room surprised us with how it unfolded. Customer Service at CUA is phenomenal. After talking with the owners about many different topics, it was apparent that they truly want your experience to be fun and memorable, and train their GM’s to take this same approach. Our GM (Cedric) was fun to talk with before/after, and was fully in character from the moment he started the background story and he gave us perfectly timed nudges during the game. CUA takes a more immersive approach with their hint system, and for Wizards Curse, I loved it! During our visit, the owners even gave us a quick tour of their new venture, Parcadia, which is a magical mini golf tavern, and although it is not finished yet, looked incredible. We played CUA’s 3 smallest and “lower ranked” games, and all 3 were phenomenal. CU Adventures is a fantastic ER company, with their focus on customer service, immersive sets, and great variety of puzzles, which makes me think this company could be better than 60 to Escape (IL and WI) and The Exit Games Florida, whom are the best ER companies I have played previously. Can’t wait to go back with more people so we can play their other 4 rooms. CU Adventures is definitely worth the drive.

the puzzles are very unique and well integrated with the theme. the atmosphere is also very immersive, and the tech is awesome and just works.

Fun 2 player room (I wouldn’t take any more, mayyybe 3?), with a few frustrating puzzles but it didn’t take away from the overall experience. There was one mag lock box that was a little finicky and hard to open. There were puzzles and concepts I hadn’t seen before. There were very few traditional locks. Set design was great, and felt immersive. Game master was good. My personal #6 game out of 7 at CU Adventures.

Fun wizard room! We had an over zealously hint giving GM that detracted from our experience. We ended 18 mins early. Without that I think we would have really liked it.
