Exeter has a long Magical history that traces back to the Great Dragon Dumnonia. This Dragon bestowed an Egg which in turn radiated magic to a select few who became blessed with powers of witchcraft and wizardry. The Isca Magica Concilium have overseen the Magical community of Exeter for centuries although persecution has seen them in hiding for fear of their safety. The magical egg, source of all of the magical power has now been stolen from the Sidwell Sanctum based in the corner of the Wyvern Wizarding Quarter and the power is slowly draining from all those who were gifted. The council has asked that your team attempt to recover the stolen egg to ensure that the magical energy is not lost from the city forever. Do you and your team have the skills and power to save the magic? This attraction won the Gold in the 2025 Devon Tourism Awards' Experience of the Year category.

A wonderfully quirky room that flowed beautifully, with a variety of puzzles including a couple that we hadn’t seen before. Great fun and amazing hosting from Dan, he and Lisa are so passionate about what they do and do it brilliantly. Suitable for all ages, groups and levels of experience - highly recommend a visit when you are anywhere in the vicinity of Exeter.

Really solid and fun escape room!
A fairly linear escape room, but aside from one "action" segment which wasn't amazingly implemented, the puzzles were good, creative and magical!
The effects were really good. The host and the room didn't take themselves too seriously, which I think was a good approach too.
Our host Isaac was welcoming, chatty and helpful.

There was a particularly clever method for getting one of the clues which felt very magical.
It was quite silly: I loved the special effects and the voices.

For people who've done escape rooms before, nothing here will stump you for very long.

Dan was such a welcoming, informative and funny game master from the minute we walked in. We were incredibly grateful that The Prodigy was able to fit us in for a spontaneous game in the evening which most other escape rooms can't provide. We played The Wizards of Wyvern game and it is safe to say this has been our all time favourite! The game, story and props were all incredibly well thought out and the theme was incredibly fun. We are keen escape room enthusiasts so Dan was kind enough to share the behind the scenes of the escape room and its mechanics as many of the puzzles were unique to this game and we haven't come across such innovative game play before even showing us his custom soundboard which was hilarious and made the game even more personalised. We look forward to coming and playing again soon! Thank you Dan and The Prodigy Team! :)
So much fun, lots of unique puzzles, visually interesting props and fun storyline!
The set design, special effects and props were all incredibly impressive, unique and immersive!
Dan was such a wonderful host and games master, incredibly friendly and welcoming.

Thank you so much Tashh, this really made my day to read. I’m so glad we could squeeze you in for a spontaneous evening game and even happier that The Wizards of Wyvern ended up being your all time favourite. It was a genuine pleasure hosting fellow escape room enthusiasts and getting to chat through the mechanics and ideas behind the scenes. I’m really pleased you enjoyed the story, props and a bit of custom soundboard silliness too. I can’t wait to welcome you back again soon for another adventure.

Three of our group had this room as their favourite of the three, one had The Lost Idol. A really good mixture of different types of puzzles and tasks with enough to keep us busy on hard mode with no clues. Excellent GM hosting and would definitely recommend playing all three rooms at Prodigy.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate you taking the time to leave this. I’m glad The Wizards of Wyvern stood out for most of your group and that The Lost Temple still got some love too. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the puzzle variety and that hard mode with no clues kept you properly busy. I’m really pleased the hosting helped make the experience and thank you for recommending all three rooms. Hope to see you back again in the future.

We loved this game- we played as a three for my daughter’s 21st. The host was so friendly and really went the extra mile to make it a great experience! The puzzles were really inventive and a brilliant mix of different types of puzzle. The decor was well done and after finding what was in the chest it was very easy to become fully immersed in the game. We’d only played 3 games previously so we requested medium difficulty. We needed quite a few clues which were hilariously done and in keeping with the game, and it really felt like our host wanted to help us to escape and end the game successfully. Please go and play this room, you won’t be disappointed! Great for younger players and adults alike- really good humoured fun!
Hi marshmillow. Thank you so much for choosing to celebrate a 21st birthday with us. I am really glad you had such a positive time and that the team felt looked after. I am especially happy to hear that the mix of puzzles worked well for you. Wizards of Wyvern was designed to be playful and imaginative while still offering some good thinking moments, so it is lovely when people mention feeling immersed once they get into the story. Our clue system is meant to feel like part of the magic rather than something that breaks the experience, so your comment about the clues really made me smile. The team always want players to feel supported and to finish feeling proud of what they achieved. Thank you as well for recommending the room for both younger players and adults. That balance is something we worked very hard on. Really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a kind review and I hope we get to welcome you back again whenever you feel ready for another adventure. All the best, Dan

We came to Prodigy last year and did The Lost Temple, really love it so came back for this one. We’re a family of 4 with two boys, 9 & 11 who don’t like anything too scary. This was another great room and what was even better is how the staff welcome and look after you. Top class.
Thank you, HappyBunnies! It was such a pleasure to welcome you back and we’re so glad *The Wizards of Wyvern* was a hit with the whole family. It means a lot to hear how much you appreciated the warm welcome – we always aim to make every visit special. Hope to see you all again for another adventure soon!

From the moment we entered the building we were pulled into this expensive! The atmosphere both before and during was excellent. We had such an amazing time. Truly felt like we could achieve it! Dan was such an amazing host and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Perfect flow in the story, pulling you into this world truly felt apart of it!
These props were amazing! And all the sound effects and added extras truly made this an all around game!
Dan was amazing, from the get go he was so welcoming, funny and all around made us feel so comfortable. Whether it was your first time or not he just ran with the vibe you created.

Another absolutely fantastic room from Prodigy Escapes & Experiences! The room flows really well, and it looks amazing! Really enjoyable, and unfortunately, that's the last room they have that we needed to complete :( but whenever they rebuild a room, we will definitely be back!

Hi Lonvar, Thank you so much for the amazing feedback! We’re over the moon that *Wizards of Wyvern* lived up to your expectations and rounded off your Prodigy room run in style! It means the world to us that you’ve tackled all three – and we’re already brewing up ideas for what’s next, so keep an eye out. We’d absolutely love to welcome you back when the next adventure is ready! Dan & The Team @ Prodigy Escapes

Two of us completed this linear escape room in good time, without feeling rushed at any stage. There were a good mix of puzzles, with lots of physical aspects and great props - the two of us coped fine with the challenges presented and concluded that too many people would be a hindrance and leave people without a task; 2-4 people in a team would be optimal. We enjoyed the story and touches of humour, and the animatronic and interactive elements were brilliant. Must give a shout-out to Ella who was our fabulous games master and gave us just the right amount of help. Thank you for a fab time!
Hi SmillsyQ, Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review! We’re really glad you both enjoyed *The Wizards of Wyvern* – it’s great to hear the balance of puzzles, props, and interactivity hit the mark for a smaller team. The humour, story, and animatronics are things we love bringing to life, so it's lovely to know they added to your experience. And Ella will be chuffed to get that shout-out – she’s a gem! Hope to see you both again for another magical adventure soon! Dan & The Team @ Prodigy Escapes
