Puzzles are not hard, but fit in the story excellently and help drive it wonderfully. The arrival at the escape room, the introduction and the experience itself with very smart and fitting loudspeaker hints that were in character made for a truly immersive experience.

What a fun room! The immersion was incredible and we were blown away by the attention to detail. GM Josephine was super attentive without being pushy. Don’t expect highly complex puzzles, the room is more about the experience and the storyline.

The room is excellent from the very beginning. The effects are impressive. The game starts in a mysterious way and offers a well-crafted introduction. You feel transported into a magical world. It creates a dense, immersive atmosphere. You fully dive into the setting and are actively woven into the story. The puzzles work well for two people. Tasks can be sensibly divided up. The room design is implemented in a truly special way. We do not want to share details to avoid spoilers. Overall, it is a great experience in an outstanding setting. For Harry Potter fans, it is a must. We can definitely recommend the room. Note: It is not a puzzle-heavy room, but is more focused on the magical experience.

Fantastic set design, the puzzles felt a little basic but the set was really immersive, overall a pretty great Harry Potter themed room. We could have done with a little less host acting but once you were in the room there was no more actor.

Wow. This was an incredible experience. As a Harry Potter fan, I loved all the little nods to HP. The special effects were amazing, I felt like a real witch! For any HP fan this is a must do if you are in Berlin, but even as someone who’s never seen HP my partner still really enjoyed the experience.

Even as someone who’s never watched Harry Potter and didn’t get the references, I still loved this. The set design and use of special effects is second-to-none which definitely give this room the wow factor, and the puzzles will definitely challenge and entertain experienced players You’ll love it if you like escape rooms, you’ll REALLY love it if you’re also a fan of Harry Potter!

Immersive from the second you walk in - really thorough theming and some really lovely moments/pieces in the room. Some puzzles didn’t quite hit the mark for us, but it was still a super fun time - our GM was incredible which definitely added to the experience :)

  • Let’s just say that the game more than lived up to its namesake.
