Player reviews
What a lovely family escape room. We were a little sure at first as the first puzzle felt a bit awkward. However, as the game progresses we found ourselves having a lovely experience. The puzzles are a good balance between easy and average.
Please note that the GM is there with you for the experience but he was wonderful. You actually forget he’s there but glad he’s there when you need validation!
A* Z-Escape
As an experienced escaper, I was invited to play Z-escape prior to its opening. This is a unique escape room in that children can play without parents/guardians, as an in-game host- the librarian- can tag along for the adventure.
Story
Billi the Bookworm has escaped and is causing mischief in the library: find and recapture him before the Library Inspector arrives.
Puzzles
The puzzles are of a reasonable difficulty, meaning a group of adults (well, we’re big kids, really) can enjoy the challenge just as much as a team of juvenile escapees. There’s an engaging variety of mental and physical tasks- even one that involves using your nose!
Mise-en-scene
Its immersive atmosphere is one of The Library of Enchantment’s strongest elements: each well-decorated space is inspired by a different book. The journey through the library takes you from pirate ships to space, with high-quality, charming décor to keep you lost in time.
Final Comments
Our team of 3 had a lot of fun playing, and we did it with about 4 minutes to spare. A lot of thought and research has clearly been put in to make this a formidable room, which shows!
