The Wizard Realm

my dad and i did this room together while on a road trip. this was my first time doing a room with just my dad, and we escaped with about 17 minutes left!! we needed a hint to get started, and one or two in the middle, but overall most things made sense to us. the experience started before we even got into the room. we actually "forged" acceptance letters that the employee added to the room before letting us in. that was a fun little touch that made me even more excited for the puzzle solving to begin. the timer was weird: instead of an actual timer, it was a progress counter. if the expected progress reached 100%, your hour was up. it was definitely a different system than i've seen before, and it had its pros and cons. at the beginning the expected progress was around 30% and we were still at 0%, making me panic a bit. eventually we worked our way up and achieved 60% progress when that was expected, and escaped when the expected progress was at 70%. if i'm ever in town again, i would definitely go back to this place.

A really cool room that encompasses everything in the wizarding world that you'd love to see. A great use of props and space, however this does lead to some accessibility issues if you have trouble stepping over high ledges or fitting through a tight-ish space Some puzzles in this one require a little bit of a brain burn to get through, and overthinking and stop you from getting out of this one, but overall it was a fun escape.

We did not escape with just the two of us but we enjoyed the room. Lots of puzzles that triggered things to open. Used a few clues

Cool set. The ideas were there, but imo puzzles could be improved for better flow

Pretty cool room overall, the atmosphere was nice as well as the concept. Definitely a “must do” for fans of the Harry Potter franchise. We got stuck on a puzzle because of a technical issue which held us up for a while. Looking beyond that, the room flowed well!

Pretty standard for an escape room. I would say this is a little difficult for two people, especially since some of the puzzles are not as intuitive. If you’re into the Harry Potter vibe, this is definitely a good room for you. Probably not for any escape room enthusiasts.

A nice little room, a good challenge for two people. The plot is a little cheesy, but the puzzles are good and some are unique. There are one or two puzzles that have weak signposting. The set is small but well made. Not a must do by any means, but a fun time for fans of Harry Potter or other similar works.

Loved the theme. Would recommend 3 people. I did with 2 and majority of puzzle require 2 people at once. So just having that 3rd person would have made a huge difference for us.

This was our 288th room. We played as a group of two and had about eight minutes left. We required a hint and a couple of nudges. The room was fun and the set was enjoyable.

Some great Harry Potter nostalgia and props made with clear attention to detail. Gameplay was overall ok.. Would have been more interesting with a story/explanation for why we were doing what we were doing.
