Witches and wizards alike, welcome to another day at your Academy of Enchantments. You find your beloved professor Barnabus under a spell for which you have little knowledge. You know this is the work of the wicked professor, Bloodwynd. You sneak into his office to find the correct way to brew a counter-curse to free your professor. If you don’t find the proper formula within an hour, then I’m afraid the potion’s effects will be permanent!

Elusive Escape Rooms

The Enchanted Potion Room

Escape room

I liked the Harry Potter vibes this escape room was giving, though other places do the fake Hogwarts much better. However, some confusion about some puzzles and a game master that wasn’t completely helpful or understanding soured the experience. Still, mixing potions in dark rooms is what I wanted, and I got it. But at what cost?

Of the rooms I’ve played at elusive I would recommend this more than others, but it still faces its issues. Our game guide was incredibly nice and made the story and room cohesive, something the room itself does not inherently do. The theming was so close to Harry Potter that it felt very unoriginal while not being able to be called a Harry Potter escape room. 

Also, the entire goal of the room is to Brew a potion to save the headmaster, while the final puzzle to escape does not actually involve brewing a potion but rather unlocking a door to a plain white hallway where our game guide came running- it felt like leaving an emergency escape and being lost. 

The theming and ambience was not terrible but felt too close to its source material. If our game guide was not as nice as she was it would have been a fairly bad experience but good employees really made the game work cohesively. 

Not a favorite but not the worst for dells rooms

I barely remember this room, actually--something about sneaking into a wizard's study to steal a recipe before he returns?  It was only 5 years ago, but feels like a lifetime.
