Wizard Trials

This wasn't one of my favorite escape rooms, although it definitely had some highlights. There were a few really clever puzzles that I genuinely enjoyed, and the props and overall design were well done. The interactive wands were a fun touch and added to the theme. That said, several of the puzzles felt illogical to me and didn't have the kind of progression I typically enjoy in an escape room. A couple of puzzles relied on audio cues that I don't think I would have understood without guidance from the game host. I generally prefer rooms where each solve naturally leads to the next, but this one often felt like you either needed to think in a very specific way or receive a hint to move forward. I can see how this style of gameplay might appeal to some players, but it wasn't the best fit for me. While I appreciated the theme, set design, and creative elements, the puzzle design ultimately made this one less enjoyable than many other rooms I've played.

Fun, great immersive design, loved our gamemaster… shout out to Max!

Loved the theme, loved the gimmick of wands magnetically triggering things. Second best room in this location from what I've done.

Super fun room with great props! Doable for 2 or 3 people, probably gets tight with 4. Our GMs, Mars and Lizzie, were very nice. Would definitely play more rooms here.

Having played a good number of rooms, a good wizard theme always hits the spot. Some things were similar to other rooms - like a giant mushroom and making a bubbling stew, but those are trademarks for a reason. The first room felt like a Harry Potter homage without the transphobia and casting spells with wands felt especially second-nature with the props we were given. Plus I got to wear a cool hat.

Fun room with interactive wands and unlimited clues if you need em. Also displays the time remaining. Puzzles were challenging but fun, did end up needing two clues for the room. Not as many puzzles as other rooms I've done. Totally doable for two people.

The theming of this room was excellent! I personally had a harder time with this room but my teammates were amazing and we got it done in 30 minutes. The room was very techy and not manual so it added to the magical nature of the room. It had some puzzles unlike I’d ever seen before (I’ve done almost 30 rooms).

We were all in awe when we first stepped inside - for the most part. I’d get rid of the office ceiling and the bookshelf. It was fun using the wands for the puzzles, I wish there was more of that! There was not a lot of context on some of the puzzles so it was a bit of a slow start. The puzzles were gen 3 meaning no locks or keys. It’s a good solid room. Marz and Flavio were our hosts and they were great!

Very cute, pretty easy, but still fun!
