Wizard’s Academy

We have played several Harry Potter/wizard rooms and we enjoyed this one. We struggled deciding whether to rate this room “like” or “love”… but ultimately went with “like” because there were a few times where we got stuck and the solution wasn’t something intuitive (our GM said everyone has issues with the same things we did, which indicates to me that they should rework a few things). Overall, we enjoyed the decor, the timeline, and the variety of puzzles, but didn’t love solving something and having multiple places where the solution could fit with no indication of where it should go, story-wise. But, the use of tech was good and not over the top or cheesy. It was definitely fun for a Harry Potter fan :)

This game was a mixed bag for us. On the positive side, there were some fun puzzles that we appreciated. And that's what we are ultimately there for. However, I would like to see a little more signposting. While the flow isn't ideal for two players, it should be fine for larger groups. The set design was just okay (though, after 400 rooms, our bar is set a little high I think). This is a Harry Potter themed game with a few odd changes to some of the references. In the end, the price is great and this venue seems like the perfect place for new players to experience escape rooms.

This may be my favorite game from these folks. Excellent decor, attention to detail, and exciting elements. Highly recommend .

A fun and charming Harry Potter themed room. We spoke a bit with the owner who was very nice and clearly passionate about escape rooms. Some of the puzzles were quite complex and multi-layered. A couple minor things in the room weren’t reset but it didn’t detract from the experience in any way. I liked that the room was really spread out into different sections and wanted players to make connections with things they saw much earlier. I’d be happy to do more rooms here if I’m ever back in the area.

There just isn’t enough words to describe how great this location is. It has been one of our favorite spots, the staff, price, game itself are all top notch. They have really recreated the space they are in and made everything so immersive. And this room is awesome for any Harry Potter fans!

Themed very well. I loved the mix of puzzles and clues. Super fun and didn’t just have keys and code locks.

Kind of chaotic but staff was great and game was fun. The flow good but got us hung up on things that weren’t important at the moment. Learning curve on our part. Definitely one to try and we will be back to tackle the others

Great Harry Potter themed room. My wife and son are big time HP fans so this room really hit it out of the park. We really love the ownership over at Hometown Escapes, they are super nice and you can tell they care about putting a good product out.

Awesome room! Really fun and challenging. Would definitely recommend it.

I didn’t expect too much from this one because I’m not really into HP, but I had a ton of fun! Maybe the best room at Hometown Escapes!
