October 31st 1926 – Harry Houdini has died. Famous for his skepticism of self-proclaimed “mystics” Houdini was famous for taking part in seances in order to debunk these charlatans. We believe that Houdini was holding these events to search for the only real source of mystic power in this world – The Artifact. With his passing we must ensure that any research or discoveries he made during his time on earth do not fall into the wrong hands. You have one hour to search his workshop for anything concerning the artifact. Good luck.

This room had so much I had never seen before, & it might be one of my new favorites! HUGE shouts to Mikayla who guided us through one of the best escape days my team has ever had. We all had such a blast thanks to her. Highly recommend PanIQ NYC for above & beyond hospitality.

This room was really cool where it actually incorporates magic into the room and puzzles! I also saw some puzzles that I have never seen before, which was really cool as well! If you get the chance to do a room, this one is worth it!
Linear room and puzzle play
Yes
I would say yes only for the incorporation of magic in some of the puzzles.

Highly recommend for any level of escape game enthusiasts!
The puzzles were really unique and the game flowed very well from start to finish More of a linear storyline which made it easier to know what clues were for what locks and keys Room was spacious with multiple rooms - we had 2 people only and we had little to no trouble completing it
The set was very well done! Apparently the design was helped by an actual magician so very cool!
Casey was our game master and he was absolutely unbelievable! Gave hints and tips only if we asked for it which is exactly what we wanted

While there were a lot of locks in this room, getting the code for the locks were done in unique ways. The puzzles were fun, and a lot of them were very unique. We ended up getting in 5 minutes late because we got stuck near time square, and the staff was very understanding. Would definitely recommend!

Staff are amazing. But the gameplay is a bit all over the place. It’s not one puzzle after the next. It’s all at once, so you get confused about which clues are for which lock. Also, too many locks.

Surprisingly good for a room that used so many master locks. The only issue we had was with a couple unfun red herrings. For one, there are differently colored pins on one of the locks, but this isn’t a clue, despite there being several color-based puzzles in the room.

The upsides: some very fun and creative puzzles, surprisingly challenging (might be the closest I’ve cut an escape), and the staff is very nice and cool (shoutout to the guy with the dipper pines hat). The downsides: a couple red herrings (one of them quite major) that really threw us off (and I personally am against red herrings in rooms in general). Also, there’s a 5 letter lock that is multicolored (three different colors across the 5 letters), but it’s not puzzle related, it’s because they replaced pieces of the lock multiple times… which was really confusing. Lastly, there was one double clue (an item where the text was reused) which was kind of confusing since generally in an esc room once something is used, it’s done. Anyways, overall a really fun time!

I really wanted to like this room, but it didn't live up to the hype. Most of the puzzles in the room were fine, but there was a huge red herring in the room that will confuse and frustrate many players. There doesn't seem to be any reason why this was included, other than to waste players' time. There was also a moment where I had the answer to a puzzle, but could not unlock the lock because you are meant to open it by pushing the lock down rather than up. I wish this had been communicated in the room briefing as it was something that clearly stumped other players. I feel these issues could have been addressed quite easily via the GM, but I felt as though my GM was absent for significant portions of the game, giving me clues to puzzles that I had already solved when I got stuck. Gameplay issues aside, the concept/theme of the room is good, but the decorations and lighting are underwhelming and there was no sense of immersion.
