‘Papa Smurf’s Magic Lab’ is fundamentally a projection mapping tabletop escape game. Players sit down at a table in a private, moderately decorated room for the entire duration and interact with various objects and the projections to play the game. It’s a delightfully cute experience and the flow is carefully crafted to ensure players learn the rules of the game as the complexity is slowly layered on. We thought the central mechanic was quite enjoyable!

Played almost entirely on a tabletop, this is a fun interactive activity. Not the usual escape room. I think you’d come here more for the story then for the usually thrill of an escape room. There are at least two, perhaps three, identical rooms, so we split our group between two rooms and raced each other to finish. Language: We did this in English but some of the speech was in Korean with English subtitles. You definitely need good language skills to understand some of the clues. Dislikes: Too many video cut scenes which took up a lot of time. They contributed to the story but were a bit too long and slow. Also, the system used could only cope with one thing happening at a time, so you can’t do anything else while the story cut scenes are playing.
Gameplay
Mainly played on an interactive table, with projections onto the table to match the point of the story. Some physical elements included and the projection and physical elements were mainly in sync. Main issue is that the system can only cope with one action at a time, so if you’re the sort of person who likes to complete one task and start the next one immediately without waiting to see the cut scene of the previous task, this can get a bit frustrating.
Atmosphere
Theming of the entire place was excellent.

Accessibility
To enter the venue, there is a flight of stairs. I didn’t see a lift anywhere, but I didn’t really go looking either. To enter the game room, you need to enter via a Smurf sized door, well not quite that small. It’s about 1.2m tall. Some of the text is small in a darkened room
