Youβre an apprentice for Carter the Great, the best magician this town has ever seen. Unfortunately for him, heβs been sharing the theater with his biggest rival, The Great Danton. Danton said he will be unveiling his newest trick at tomorrow's performance. If his trick truly is amazing, itβll surely put your show out of business. You must sneak into the theater at night and figure out the source of Dantonβs new power otherwise Carter will surely be finished!

This room is solid and starts off with a cool, friendly beginning. The set is strong along with some good puzzles. A few were tricky with only 2 players, having a few more eyes would have helped. If you like the theme, give it a go!

We're happy you enjoy Magician's Workshop. This room probably works best with at least four players since there are parts where more eyes would be helpful. Thank you for playing!

I loved this room! The room flow was perfect and the puzzles all worked well together and fit the theme. I have done a few magic rooms and this one really felt MAGICAL! The puzzles were not overly complicated with a good mix of tech and locks. We only got hung up once because we were not looking close enough. Great Room!

Thank you so much. We tried to add as many "magic" elements as we could without creating red herrings. We would have had even more tricks if it wasn't misleading to the players lol. We are happy you had a great time!

This room felt like we were actually magic πͺ Puzzles were perfectly on-theme and use of tech really supported the feeling of being in a magical space. We couldn't stop praising the many stellar (and sometimes subtle) design choices on the drive back. Puzzle quality was also astounding, puzzles were varied in style and difficulty, creating a game where everyone could play to their strengths. We have nothing but praise for this room, and are excited to try the other rooms at this location!
GM was great! Very respectful of our request for no hints other than ones we explicitly ask for
Players will need to differentiate colors for multiple puzzles, there's also one puzzle where hearing is helpful but not necessary. There was also an air purifier in the room, increasing accessibility for immunocompromised players.

Thank you for your kind words. When we were designing this game we wanted to create illusions where you as an apprentice may be able to do the magic but unsure how it works. It was a fun room to design and build, we are very happy to hear you enjoyed it! We look forward to hosting you again soon for another adventure!

TLDR: great room with amazing gameplay and a good atmosphere along with having my favorite clue of any escape room of all time. After doing six rooms by Raven Chase, itβs clear that you can never go wrong with any room they create. Gameplay: the gameplay was awesome. There was a lot of fun, diverse clues. Some mechanical, and some with tech. And after doing 20+ escape rooms, this room (the first room specifically) easily has my favorite clue of all time of any escape room Iβve done. The finale was also very fun to watch. A lot of ooos and aahs from our group overall. Gameplay wise, this is in my opinion the best room here at the Herndon location (writing this review without have doing the new room cryptic grove) Atmosphere: I was also surprised about how well the atmosphere was. Well, nothing stood out compared to some other amazing atmosphere rooms Iβve done, I was surprised that they were able to make a pretty good atmosphere with such a basic theme, especially after seeing other places flop on themes that should be very easy to building a room around.

We are so happy to hear you enjoyed it! We felt that a room about stage magic should have fun unexcepted moments. We wanted to make little tips of the hat to the era when you know it's not real magic, but you're not exactly sure how it's done. We're happy you enjoyed the journey through Magician's Workshop! Thank you for your fantastic review and for making us a part of your escape room journey! We appreciate your kind words and are excited for you to experience Cryptic Grove!

Thank you! This was inspired by a movie about the showman era of magic and the rivalry of magicians.
