Spell Struck

We enjoyed this one - everything flowed well, puzzles were logical, and it had a good mix of mental puzzle-solving, mechanical puzzles, and some props with neat effects. Only a few locks. The two of us needed just a few nudges but were able to keep a good momentum throughout and finished with about three seconds to spare. They could take this room up a small notch by freshening up some worn props and adding some atmospheric sound effects/music, but I’d give it a solid A.

Room was fun and experience was very immersive from start to finish. Puzzles were fun, but one puzzle had a minor “glitch” I suppose that we spent over 10 minutes on. We still really enjoyed it regardless

We completed Spell Struck with 5 people- we asked for around 10 clues and were able to beat the game with seconds left! The puzzles were quite innovative and the atmosphere was quite mysterious, much like a group of travelers trapped in a cabin in the woods sort of scenario. I would say it relies a bit more on reading and assembling various pieces into one than other escape rooms I’ve been to. My team had a blast.

This is an average room. Finished in ~40min with 4 players. Game is medium difficulty, heavier on the reading/comprehending side (reading instructions / guessing word riddles, etc). Might be easier for native English speakers as there are some vocabs. Theme is set in cabin/witch/potion, etc. there were more than one puzzle that included completely unnecessary information that mislead players to comprehend puzzles incorrectly. This is a big no for me, in my mind all information should be relevant to the puzzle. When we figured out how to solve it was pretty frustrating. Room design is ok but not novel, most puzzles are ordinary ones you see in a typical escape room.

Spell struck was very fun, the theme of all the puzzles really fit the story of the escape room and there was a nice variety of puzzles to solve. My main con was that a lot of puzzles unlocked things you needed for the next puzzle and so it ended up being somewhat linear with limited opportunity for parallel puzzle solving. 4 was a great number of people for this. We did accidentally skip some steps as well.

I loved the atmosphere, the interactions and the GM. By far one of my favorite escape rooms I’ve done. Also loved yelling WITCH!!!!!

I went with a brand new escaper and we got out! Narrowly... I would bring more than 2 people here :) This room is fantastic and memorable. The design was great, and the introduction from our GM was amazing and really set the tone for the room. This is one of the better rooms I have done

I loved the theatrics from our game master, she was delightful in setting the stage for this room and performed exceptionally well. The room itself had solid theming and the puzzles were decent. There were a few things that were surrounded by ambiguity, but overall the room was clever and fun to work our way through. I most definitely recommend this room to others in the area or travelers looking for a fun room to explore.

This game was average. Nothing special, but not bad. There were a few hiccups, but overall is was okay.

Fun room! Took us 2 tries, but we did it! We generally need more time since it’s just two of us, so not unexpected. Several hands on/tactile puzzles which was fun. Definitely a higher challenging room simply for the amount of puzzles to solve in 60 mins - make sure to bring someone(s) that you communicate and play well with! Highly recommend!
