Merlin's Vision

Pretty simple game but well done for what it is. More for newbies than enthusiasts.

This room had potential, but in the end unfortunately fell short. This is a "no lock, all tech" room which fits perfectly with the theme, however the tech didn't always work as intended. The GM had to come in the room multiple times to reset things & had to manually trigger at least 1 puzzle. One puzzle opened something but we couldn't open it. We were told we had to yank on it, which flies in the face of the "2 finger rule" that's been drilled in our brains. We found many of the clues to be vague & there were multiple red herrings. There were 2 puzzles that involved clues that were extremely hard to see. Someone with vision problems/color blindness would not be able to solve them. The passage between rooms is very small & I'm not sure that someone in a wheelchair could access it. Since the whole room is tech, we expected a tech ending. It wasn't & was a let down where we were left saying "That's it?" Now for the positives. The set design is on point in both rooms & really immersive. The difference between the 2 rooms is also stunning. The GM was friendly & showed a love of escape rooms. The GM was also great about only giving us hints when we asked. The owner worked with us to set up multiple games & discounts, was communicative & went above & beyond to make up for a minor time delay. At the end of the game, they give you a card with some of your quotes throughout the game. That was really unique & fun! My final review would have to be that I loved the people, but could not recommend this room to enthusiasts in it's current state

Was wavering between a thumbs up and down, but unfortunately there was one puzzle in this game that took a solid 20 minutes to complete due to a completely awful answer design. It’s not even clued that this is the case. The rest of the game is perfectly average, with the puzzles in the early half being better than the ones in the later half. They are remastering this game, but in its current state I unfortunately cannot recommend it.

Out of all 6 rooms, this was by far the most challenging for us. No locks, minimal hands on puzzling. The hints are all in the atmosphere.

A decent room that our two young nieces enjoyed. A couple of the puzzles could have used some better cluing but overall we made it through pretty well. Our group of six was probably too many, a smaller team of 3-4 would have been just right. Looking forward to playing more rooms at this location!

Staff was amazing and definitely tried to help. Sadly, don’t love the story. Was excited to do a Merlin theme and it felt like Merlin and the story was shoe horned in. A lot of puzzles didn’t feel satisfying to complete.

I would recommend this room to others, especially for its unique gameplay. The props and atmosphere are top notch and our GM was very friendly and helpful. The uniqueness comes in with the fact that there are no locks in the room at all. We found that unlike a lock puzzle, which intuitively lets you in to whatever was locked, part of the challenge here is figuring out what the next puzzle is - and it's also not necessarily obvious what changed when the puzzle was solved. Fortunately our GM was very helpful when we were lost and was good about interacting with us in humorous ways. There are a few things in this room that we have never seen before; we very much enjoyed the magic and look forward to trying our next room here. Would recommend at least one non-colorblind person in the group.

Overall a fun theme. Wish there were more puzzles.

I enjoyed the room but at the same time I was underwhelmed by the whole experience. If you look at the individual components they are all great. Both of the rooms are perfectly decorated and designed and the difference between the two is extraordinary! The puzzles were all solid and challenging and would really had to think outside of the box for a few of them. I guess, when all was said and done, it felt like we really didn't do anything. Looking back, I can only recall a handful of puzzles. It seemed like we zipped through it and were out practically right after we started. In my opinion, it would be a better experience if there a few more puzzles placed in both worlds. Again, just my thoughts. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Wink wink.

This was a fun room that I just wish lasted a little longer towards the end. There were a couple very unique puzzles.
