Merlin's Legacy

Rating: 4/5 - Tech filled room with an exciting ending Pros: ➕Set looked great and everything you see and touch fits the theme ➕Exciting ending with an entertaining encounter ➕Good use of lighting effects, audio/music, and even scents. ➕All tech based puzzles (sensors, buttons, maglocks), no combo locks with some tactile inputs. Only 1 padlock but it fit the time period. ➕Almost all tech (buttons, maglocks), only 1 combo lock ➕Multiple rooms to explore ➕GM was friendly and helpful when needed Could be better: ➖Too dark, it was hard to find things, read, and distinguish colors. ➖One item was hidden in an annoying location. ➖Puzzle types were a bit repetitive (though still likeable), 60 to Escape tends to do a lot of puzzles involving pushing/pulling things in a specific order. I'd recommend 2-3 enthusiasts, we finished as a team of 2 with around 5-10 min left. My ranking of 60 to Escape rooms (all locations) starting with my favorite. 1. Lockbuster Video ❤️ 2. Cheesie's Pizza Party ❤️ 3. Invasion ❤️ 4. Pirates Curse ❤️ 5. Mystery Manor ❤️ 6. Hidden Temple ❤️ 7. Duke's Farm ❤️ 8. Casino Heist ❤️ 9. Merlin's Legacy ❤️ 10. Blast From The Past 👍 11. Starship: Final Frontier 👍 12. Jurassic Outpost 👍 13. Arctic Expedition 👍 14. Museum Heist 👍 15. The Storm 👍 16. Magic Heist 👍 17. Containment 👍

My photo is intentionally vague so as not to spoil the scene! This is a fun and fairly typical wizard-themed room, definitely worth doing if you’re already there. What makes this experience special is the final room, it’s pretty epic and impossible not to enjoy. My only complaint involves a color recognition puzzle, in which the two items in question are VERY close in color, especially given the low lighting. I feel like this could easily be fixed with some re-painting or improved lighting. I’d recommend 3 or 4 players, I feel like there might be a little too much to accomplish for 2 players. There’s some tricky searching, so be sure to look everywhere!

Great sets, lots of details, especially in starting room. Lighting was a challenge for me. A bit of a mix of atmospheres/themes with wizardry, dragons, flora, lots of skulls, magic....just a mish mash of all things fantasy. Don't think about it too much, just enjoy yourself!

This game is a pretty good time! This definitely has the feel of an older game, with a worn down set that was broken in a few places, but the gameplay flowed well, there was a surprise spectacle factor, and the puzzles, while for the most part simple, were pretty fun! We had one frustrating moment when puzzle tech wasn’t working as intended just due to being worn down and a little broken, which wasted a little time, but honestly we aren’t the type of team that cares about that. The GM for this game was incredible. I can’t recall his name but he was so much fun and made the experience more ~magical~

Decent game - set and puzzles were a mix of things I liked and things I thought could be improved, but nothing was terribly broken. Pros: The ending sequence felt large and epic. The set design did a good job conveying the concepts they attempted to. Cons: I wish the set was brighter in some places, and in some places it could have been more robust or hid the underlying construction for better immersion. Some of the puzzles could have been clued better IMHO.

One of the best escape rooms I’ve ever done! Such great theming and puzzles. Very inventive and immersive.

A very fun room with great sets, smells, and immersive elements! In comparison to other wizard themed rooms, nothing is reliant on Harry Potter or lord of the rings references, but rather a new tale on old Merlin folklore. Very refreshing to see a magic themed room not try to be non copyrighted Harry Potter. The interactive puzzles are very fun, almost no locks throughout the whole experience! Some puzzles were a little hard to grasp at first, for a linear room that can pose a progression issue but one that makes the rest of the puzzle solving feel more worthwhile. One downside is there is only one screen throughout the whole room, with a colorful background, making it hard to see the clues written on the screen that Merlin does not read aloud, and very hard to see since there is no alert tone for written clues. A plain black background would fix this issue, and our game guide commented how the screen would be only in this spot fixing any issues of not seeing a screen later on in the adventure. Overall very fun for all ages with some amazing sets and puzzles!
