“School of Magic is an incredibly immersive experience that gives STRONG Harry Potter feelings. The set design is incredible and has made me think about what’s possible in this game space. There were a good balance of number locks and tech puzzle. But a large amount of reading. Each step created another page of lore to read to lead us to each new puzzle creating a very linear experience. We observed a puzzle solution out of order. But worked methodically to get ourselves back onto the linear path. I loved most of my experience in the room and being the first group to play it commercially (just launched room) I am very comfortable overlooking any speed-bumps from the Murphys law protocol.”

“This was a great room! Highly recommend that you’ve had a couple of escape rooms under your belt because some parts are challenging especially if you don’t like using hints! You and your team will need to be good at communicating because you’ll start out being split up. Overall, great great room!”

“Great room! Love the changes of environment as you progress - the puzzles were refreshingly different from other rooms that we’ve done, very creative! We love recommending this room to people who are starting to get into escape rooms ♥️”

“We brought a very large group of adults and kids (ages 5-14) and everyone was able to participate! The puzzles vary in difficulty in a way that makes it so great for a mixed group age wise. Plus we went at the end of summer - right before the kids had to go back to school! Great theme and fun for families.”

“This was the first escape room my husband and I did together and it was such a great experience we’ve gone on to do over 50 more! Some great physical puzzles, but totally accessible. It’s probably the second easiest room at this location, but that’s not a bad thing! Great for beginners, but fun for more advanced players too!”

How Do Escape Rooms Work?
Remember those point-and-click adventure games where you’re locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to find the key and escape? Those online games were the original inspiration for the live escape rooms you’ll find all across the world today. An escape room is an immersive experience where you (and your team of 2 or more people) are locked in a room with a series of puzzles for 60 minutes. To escape and win the game, you have to look for clues, solve the puzzles, and find the key. While most escape rooms only give you 60 minutes to complete the challenge, others may have shorter or longer time limits. Many venues are private rooms where you and your team are the only players. However, some places may pair you with other groups who booked a slot at the same time. And don’t worry about getting stuck, asking for hints on a difficult puzzle is totally normal. While the original escape room (created by SCRAP in 2007) had a fairly simple aesthetic, today’s escape games often take you into a different world. Artistic set designs, secret doors, and unique interactive elements are all part of the fun. It’s like an adventure game that you can interact with in real life. But if you’re hoping to preview any rooms before you book a game somewhere, detailed images and videos can be hard to find. To keep the puzzles a secret and preserve the experience of seeing the room for the first time, most venues only offer a few photos or a short trailer about the room’s theme or narrative. The only way to know what it’s like is to go and try it for yourself!
