Merlin's Magic School

I wish Morty had a more detailed rating system for rooms like this one. A thumbs down feels harsh but I don't think it quite deserves a thumbs up. It was just... fine. None of the puzzles were particularly unique and the solutions fell a little flat, almost like they were missing a layer. Some of the elements were finicky and required us to repeat an action for the next step to "unlock". That said, it would be a good introduction room. It's straight forward, linear and the staff is great.

Simple straight forward room. Had fun. Nothing here will blow your mind….but I’ll admit we’re a little spoiled living in Los Angeles and used to Hollywood quality rooms. It’s good for what it is! Puzzles were fun

This was a perfect game to bring our kids (7, 7, and 4) to. The theme was light and fun, the puzzles were clever but not difficult. There was plenty of time to read the directions out loud repeatedly, let the kids find things and figure out some of the puzzles, and still complete the room. There were some mechanics I hadn’t encountered before and the technology seemed to work with minimal errors. I particularly appreciated that there wasn’t a single padlock in the whole room. It’s not going to be a challenge for experienced escape room enthusiasts, but it was exactly what we were looking for in a family room.

Bad implementation, good try

Liked this one! Only gripe was one of those puzzles where orientation of items had to face forward. Lot of fun though, some very clever puzzles. We passed as team of 2.

This was a good room for beginners and families with children.

The game was a traditional wizard/magic room with a decent storyline. The “magic” does need to be precise but if you listen to the GM when they demo it it’s not hard. The room flowed very well and is linear. There are minor things that could be done to improve the room but overall it was fun and we had a good time. We got done with the room in half the time but even then we stayed and talked to our GM Nik Nak for 30 minutes. She was genuinely interested.

Fun magic room! Probably the best at this company. Enjoyed many of the puzzles and the overall atmosphere. I’m a fan of whimsy and this nailed whimsy.

This room is a must do! We’ve done magic rooms before but each time is so unique and this one was. The puzzles were so fun to solve, my fiancé and I kept arguing over who got to do the magic because it was so fun!
