World of Illusions

Out of all the rooms in this location, this experience has the most impressive set design. However, the technology lagged for us enough times that we left with mixed feelings. There were puzzles that felt like a stretch for me. Storyline was confusing. Our game master was really sweet and she set the stage for us that we were apprentices looking to prove ourselves to be worthy of more magic. Then we were thrown into the room with no support. Lots of red herrings. The puzzles that we ended up working on were magic-related but they didn’t come together coherently other than the end where you had to put the pieces together. The ending did not have that satisfying “ta-da” moment. Granted, some of the puzzles were cool and I appreciated the insight after the fact. However, the ones that we required hints for turned out to be mechanisms that did not trigger because we were not precise enough in the timing or it was super finnicky. That to me, is a sign that the mechanisms could be reset for a better experience. Still a great time with superb customer service and the production design but otherwise, I would rather do the One Way Train 🚂 in this location. It’s an average room for sure that I would opt to do other ones for but not the worst either.

This is a tough review. First off, I was misled by the recent reviews before mine, all created by MazeRoom bots/fake accounts (generic name followed by #'s), that have only rated MazeRoom rooms with generic positive reviews. They seem to be drawing attention to their games that might need a bit more publicity... Anyways, our experience itself. It's as mixed as the ratings are. All the 'fake' reviews mention a lot of illusions and use of perspective. Uhm... no lol. There were cool moments and a handful of solid puzzles in this room, so they can definitely be appreciated. The storyline isn't really there, and the ending isn't satisfying in relation to it. There was another review that said this room took 'nonlinearity' and instead made it 'nonlogical'. I somewhat agree with that because to me, some things didn't really logically click at all, which ruins flow a bit. At least in these moments, when we asked for hints, the GM did provide good hints that got us going again. The room atmosphere and set design is there. It's dark and mysterious. Lots of props and set design related to magic, magicians, etc. There were a few mechanisms that were cool and new to us, so we appreciated that. There were a couple mechanisms that seemed especially finnicky and requiring fine precision from you, and that was somewhat frustrating when we had to redo it multiple times for it to be recognized/triggered. There were also a couple things in the room that serve absolutely no purpose at all and were just distractions, which we haven't really ever seen. We definitely wasted some time on what was essentially distracting decor. Overall, a mixed experience with some cool moments/mechanisms in a solid setting but with choppy flow, finnicky mechanics, and an unsatisfying storyline/ending. It's an escape room to do, but it's not near the top of our lists, but also not the worst.

I’ve done a lot of rooms, but this one is totally different. The puzzles aren’t just locks—your brain has to adjust to the illusions. Super refreshing and unique!

The room is GORGEOUS. Colors, lighting, illusions… everything was so creative and aesthetic. It felt like being inside a giant, moving optical illusion.

Every puzzle messed with our perception in the coolest way. We kept saying “WAIT—WHAT?!” the whole time. So fun!

This room was like stepping into a magician’s world. Lots of optical illusions and clever tricks.

Not too scary, not too easy — just pure fun. Great for families or first-timers.

It’s wild how they used perspective in this room — clever design all around.

Hands down the most unique escape room I’ve ever done. The illusions messed with our heads in the best way.

Felt like stepping inside a magic show. Super creative puzzles and beautiful effects.
