The Wizard's Curse

Fun room to play for our anniversary. The wizard was just barely defeated by us and we definitely needed help, but that didn't detract from the experience. This was my second escape room experience.

CU Adventures has a set way of making escape rooms - special hint system buddies, unique themed timers, clever interactive ways of utilizing space - and I am all in for it! The Wizard’s Curse is an excellent magic wizard themed definitely-not-Harry-Potter room, where you face off against an evil Wizard. The puzzles are expertly designed, and the unique ways the solutions are found blew my mind. It’s usually apparent what you have to do even if you don’t know how to do it yet, so the room always felt steady paced, even with just 2 of us. It’s a small space, so I’m not even sure if it will fit that much more than 5-6z There is a great use of an actor (not live) as well as a buddy hint system GM “actor.” The final epic challenge gets a full 100 points! Loved every second of it!!

Great puzzles. Immersive. Fun room!

This room was super immersive and I love it. The puzzles were decently tricky, but it’s still a good game!

Rating: 5/5 This room is so much fun for smaller groups (2-3) as it is more cramped than their other rooms. However, they fit a lot into the smaller space. Pros: Very immersive, high quality set Just about everything you see or touch fits the theme, even the flashlight design Fun variety of puzzles Teamwork required for some puzzles Very few padlocks, keys, or lockboxes Unique and fun way of interacting with the game master Lots of cool tech integration Multiple areas/levels Climactic ending Friendly and enthusiastic game master Cons: I almost always have cons to list but I really can't think of anything I love all of CU Adventure's rooms, but here is my personal ranking from favorite to least favorite: Game Night Rise of Icarus Revenge of the Cabin Wizard's Curse Calling All Villains Scrooge's Christmas Trap

Easily on of my top 5 ever! Very unique tech. Game was challenging but not impossible- just made you think. Very well done, hints were well done too - didn’t give too much away.

I thought this room was really pretty and a lot of fun for two people. It’s also a surprising amount of gaming in a small space. Something else i really appreciate about all of the rooms at CU Adventures is that all the rooms really have unique puzzles and they don’t reuse the same styles over and over again. The puzzles in this room were smartly integrated into the theme and kept the story moving along!

Amazing puzzles, great build quality, the best clue system I’ve ever seen, and a climactic finale make for an amazing escape room.
