260 escape rooms
I loved this game, and I think a lot of people miss what makes it so amazing. Strange Magic understands how misdirection works in magic better than any other magic-themed escape room I’ve done. From the moment you walk in, this game misdirects you. It starts with the set, which fools you into thinking you’re playing an old-school locks-and-boxes room and goes on to…well, a magician never reveals their secrets, I guess. I can’t say whether every misdirect was intentional, but either way, it _works_. People praise Strange Magic for its tech (which is surprisingly great) and its puzzles (which are beautifully on theme), but I think most people overlook just how effectively this game misdirects you the entire time you’re playing it. It’s not big and over the top in a traditional sense, but it’s still chock full of big ideas - you just have to pay attention. I think this is one of the best games in the Orlando area, and the owners were a true delight to talk with afterwards. I can’t wait to see what they do next.
