I've wanted to play this for a while and had been recommended it by a few people...it did not disappoint! A truly magical and immersive game with some clever and unique puzzles, I had a lot of fun playing this one. The attentions to detail and the logic behind some of the puzzles show a lot of time has been out into the games build. There were a couple of instances where we solved things with a bit of fluke but also need a couple of hints in the correct direction for some of the puzzles. We also solved a bonus puzzle which added to the magical feel of this room. Without giving too much away, there are lots of interactive parts, special effects and some wow moments. I would definitely recommend playing this room. I've done a couple of wizard/magic themed rooms now and this is up there with one of my favourites (and bare in mind I've done around 70 rooms). Also, I liked that it wasn't just another remake of a Harry Potter kind of game. It was more magic, not wizard school. Thank you to Tabby, our games master, who was friendly and chatty before and after the game and got a great group shot of us on completion of the game. It always helps when you have an enthusiastic GM who is passionate about the game and their role.

Brilliant expansive set and some nice physical interactions that unfortunately were let down by needing multiple attempts to make puzzles work and too much prompting over the radio that took us out of the immersion / flow.

So interactive from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. Loved having a role that directly related to the puzzles within and how that made an impact on the story. Huge variety of tasks and a memorable end.

Good Room, very atmospheric, our team struggled a bit with the last section (possibly that was on us rather than the room!) Host was very friendly and engaging giving us useful hints when needed.

There is A LOT to do in this room! Another Paradox room with 2 objectives so that beginners feel they have been successful if they just get the first. This was very non-linear so plenty for larger team sizes to do.
This room is padlock heavy but good signposting helps to know which lock to use. Some very original puzzles in the room too, which we hadn't seen before in 90 rooms. Plenty for our 8 and 10 year olds to do too.
