Mark as done to rate

During a routine spell, the well-meaning (but slightly clumsy) wizard Verkiam made a magical miscalculation — and accidentally separated his spirit from his body! Now he’s floating around his tower, unable to fix the problem on his own. You and your team have been called in to help. Using clues scattered throughout the wizard’s workshop, you’ll need to uncover the ingredients, follow his notes, and recreate the potion that can make him whole again. Time is running out, and Verkiam's magic is starting to fade. Can you solve the puzzles and reverse the spell before it’s too late?

Absolutely incredible escape room. Beginner friendly but especially entertaining for escape room pros. Really well thought out, memorable, incredible storytelling. Room designers have background in theater and it shows in the rooms as they are incredibly detailed for maximum player entertainment while still being extremely mentally stimulating.

Gameplay

Absolutely phenomenal storyline and detailed storytelling.

Atmosphere

Harry Potter-esque in a not at all cheesy, but nostalgic way.

Customer service

I cannot say enough good things about Alex the owner and my GM. He was attentive but not overbearing and extremely pleasant all around. Went above and beyond to create an incredible experience.

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

One of the most memorable rooms I’ve ever played. Such unique puzzles, interactive equipment, and many different styles of puzzles.

Story

Excellent story. Told through mix of VO, reading, and ambient features.

Difficulty

Hard

All of their rooms are amazing and perfect to do alone or with a group - which is actually a hard balance to pull off. Took all the time available to solve it alone and I think you’d come very close to the time limit as a group. Hard but not frustrating and super satisfying when you solve the puzzles.

Alex was amazing and allowed us to progress without unnecessarily providing hints. He was funny, well spoken, and had an extreme passion for escape rooms and the community. In fact its credit to him for me knowing about this app!

Magical Miscalculation was a fantastic experience. Alex was an amazing GM who delivered perfectly timed nudges and kept the energy high. The puzzles were challenging without ever feeling impossible, and each solution felt genuinely satisfying. The decor and design were thoughtful and fun and not broken, and the witty voice acting added extra charm. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys clever puzzles and a well-crafted magical theme.

Our family really liked this room. We’ve done a lot of rooms and this was a fun take on one aspect of the boy who lived. We brute forced a couple clues otherwise you will need a good eye.

We absolutely loved this room! This is my second Harry Potter themed room and it was totally different than the first. Beautifully put together and the puzzles were fun. It felt very immersive and that we were part of the story the whole time. We will be doing the other rooms available at Curtain Calls as well! Can’t wait to try them all.

Absolutely loved the immersion of the room. Down to even including a smell to add to rhe immersion. The puzzles were wonderful and very intricate. You had to use multiple intuitions and different types of puzzles to figure out how to get out of the room. Absolutely immaculate.
