We did this room as part of the VS rooms offering they have here. So we took two teams; one group did mystical creatures and our group did elixir vitae simultaneously. What we didn't realise and we were quite let down by, was that once one team finishes, the game is also over for the other team. It would be much better run in a way where the other team is allowed to finish but simply finds the elixir is already gone. Instead, a team who still has time left on the clock have their experience cut short.        
This aside, the room was great fun. All of the puzzles are well signed so that you know which puzzle chain things relate to and everything had a great flow to it. The GM was great and only gave subtle hints at appropriate times when we had completely derailed ourselves. There was a great variety of puzzle types and everything fit well within the theme which was very magical and immersive. Nothing felt illogical or convoluted and even the complete beginners were able to get stuck in.

Great theming here! A fairly small space but they’ve used the space well offering different levels. Some small spaces require you crawl into but it didn’t deter from the game play. I love a game that has been designed with attention to detail and nothing in here detracted from its theme. A great game for families.
