This was the first room I played at Game Over and I absolutely loved it. As a universal fanatic, I thoroughly enjoyed getting to experience casting spells as one would in the park and how well it blended into the puzzles. The room was very immersive and had lots of sneaky references to the actual Harry Potter series. I also appreciated the fact that the room was linear making it easy to go from one puzzle to the next. The staff was super welcoming and our gamemaster was perfect and made sure to be thorough about how we felt about receiving clues. All in all the gameplay was very smooth, the decor was awesome, and I’d definitely recommend the room to anyone.

We started the room and within the first 10 minutes were asked to step out due to “technical difficulties” (I.e. they forgot to reset something). Once back in we picked up where we left off but definitely took away from the experience. Then in the second room, the door to the next room(which we were supposed to be trying to get open) was left open by staff. I quietly closed it so as to not ruin the experience further for the kids, but just very sloppy on the staff’s part, not resetting everything properly. The entire room is linear with everyone working on the same puzzle at one time which is frustrating in a larger group. There were only really 4 puzzles total in the whole thing and pretty easily solved. Not worth the money if you’ve done escape rooms before so I’d only recommend this to extreme beginners and younger kids .

Thank you for your feedback and for visiting Game Over Escape Rooms Jacksonville. We’re very sorry about the reset mistakes you experienced. Having to pause early in the game and encountering a door that should have been closed is definitely not the experience we aim to provide. Our rooms are carefully reset between groups, and we’ll be addressing this with our team to make sure it doesn’t happen again. We appreciate you letting us know and also for trying to keep the experience intact for the kids in your group. If you’d be willing, please contact us directly so we can work toward making this right.

Overall, a pretty solid room. Not as fantastic of a spectacle as some of their other rooms, but the wand mechanics add a bit of fun for the family, though was a bit of a let down for a group of adults. The story was also a bit lackluster. Still, relatively happy with our experience at Game Over. August was a fantastic GM.

Gameplay

Very linear. Some unique aspects, but felt slightly light in terms of things to do with four players.

Atmosphere

Set was well built, clean, and in good condition.

Customer service

August was an amazing GM!

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

Had a very cool puzzle/clue mechanism in additon to the wands.

Story

Nothing very immersive or in depth to drive the story.

Difficulty

Easy

Pretty straight forward. Maybe one or two puzzles that require a creative solution.

Game tech

High tech

Electric locks, motors, some screens for decoration, but with a few classic lock boxes as well.

Very on theme, loved the touch of using the magic wand. All the puzzles were on theme as well.

Phenomenal. Dumbledora was our Gm and she was great at giving us a nudge without giving the game away. She was patient and kind and we got along great!

Everything worked as it was supposed to! Nothing was broken at all.

Would love to see your rooms with more to do. Give more puzzles, more locks, more riddles to solve. For being a new escape room to the area, you’ve gotta make your mark and the two rooms we’ve done at Game Over have fell a bit flat.

Gameplay

It was just fine. I wish there was more to the room. It’s very linear, so you can only work on one puzzle at a time. I felt like I stood around a lot with not much to do.

We unfortunately did not enjoy this room. The employees were super nice and helpful, but we were disappointed with the gameplay. There were hardly any puzzles to solve and the ones that were there were not very intuitive. We were playing guessing games the whole time and with no rhyme or reason. We liked one puzzle out of the entire room. I’m hoping their other rooms are better.

Gameplay

Honestly we were extremely disappointed. The games were not intuitive and the room was very confusing for no reason. We do quite a lot of escape rooms and we did not enjoy this one.

Atmosphere

The room was decently decorated to go with the theme.

Customer service

The hostess was very sweet

The difficulty level was only medium, which should’ve made it pretty easy to escape. But there were hardly any puzzles to figure out and the ones there were not intuitive. This was frustrating. Some of the clues didn’t sync up well enough to actually work.

Thank you for your feedback. While we’re glad to hear that our staff was helpful and friendly, we’re sorry that the gameplay didn’t meet your expectations. We want to clarify that the room was functioning as intended, and all puzzles were designed with logical solutions. We understand that some puzzles may feel more intuitive than others, and while we strive to create a balance of challenge and engagement, we recognize that not every puzzle style will resonate with every player. Each of our rooms offers a different type of gameplay, and we’d love for you to try another experience that may better suit your playstyle. We appreciate your visit and your honest feedback, and we hope to see you again for another adventure! 🔐😊
